Keurig Platinum Brewer Review & GIVEAWAY!

by Nicole on May 26, 2009

I admit that I am guilty of stopping most mornings to get coffee from a drive-through. Not only does it take up precious time that I typically don’t have as I scramble to get to work, but it seriously adds up! That $1.50 cup of coffee is $7.50 per week, or $32.25 per month, or $390 per year. If you stop at one of those fancy-shmancy coffeehouses (you know who you are), you’re looking at $4.50 for your latte per day, $22.50 per week, $96.75 per month, or $1,170 per year! Those are significant expenses in the grand scheme of your spending and here is a possibility to help reduce those outside coffee expenses.

I hate to make a pot of coffee in the morning to just drink a cup as I’m running out the door and then have to deal with all of the clean-up associated with the traditional coffeemaker. I was thrilled when the kind folks at Keurig sent me the Keurig Platinum Brewer pictured below for me to review. I have used it every single day since I received it and am officially hooked!


I am astonished at how easy it was to set-up and use. Within minutes of opening the package, I had brewed a cup of coffee as well as cup of tea. This thing does it all! I received a pack of assorted K-Cups (this is what they call the little cups with your coffee, tea or hot cocoa in them)with the brewer and have been enjoying the fact that there is so little clean-up and no waste at all! The machine works with just water and your K-Cup in minutes. You decide what size cup you want to brew, make your selection, and the brew begins! It even can make iced coffee, you just use the iced function.

There are tons of varieties of K-Cups from regular coffees to decaf coffee to flavored coffee and then hot cocoa and teas. There really is something for everyone, even the kids who love making their hot chocolate on the Keurig. I know it sounds corny to say but this Keurig Platinum Brewer has changed my coffee-drinking life and for the better!

The folks at Keurig have graciously decided to give one (1) of my lucky readers this awesome Keurig Platinum Brewer! To enter, you MUST visit the Keurig website here and look through their products and all they have to offer. Then come back to my blog and leave a comment in this post letting me know which K-Cup flavor you most want to try! Make sure to leave your email address so I can contact the winner.

I'm actually not a coffee drinker but my husband is and he hates making a whole pot just for himself. This would be perfect for us! He is obsessed with hazelnut coffee so hazelnut cream would be his choice.

Just wanted to drop in to say that we've had a Keurig for almost three years now and LOVE it! It is the best single cup brewer on the market and looks great too! They offer 100's of flavors of coffee, from light to dark roast (something for everyone). It's so perfect! Green Mountains German Chocolate Cake is one of my favorites! :)

Donut Shop Coffee seems to lead their top ten quite a bit, so I'm going with that one as the one I most want to try.

Thank you to Keurig for giving me so many chances to win….I hope this will be the lucky one :)

Thanks Nicole for doing all the hard work of a giveaway and giving me the opportunity to win great prizes like this one!

The decaf variety pack sounds very inviting to me. But I would also like to sneak in some flavored ones too.
