Keurig Descriptions and Reviews
Say goodbye to grandma’s percolator, and hello to the modern coffee brewing system known as the Keurig. Stepping into a kitchen with a Keurig is like opening the gates of heaven and hearing angels singing the praises to all things coffee. Not really. But the invention of this innovative brewing device has resembled something similar to angelic singing for those who simply cannot begin their day without coffee.
The Keurig has become a staple in numerous homes and offices around the world. It’s not just a must-have gadget to add to the countertop, later collecting dust and taking up space. But why? And how does this appliance differ from other kitchen amenities? Because Keurig systems can be for home or commercial use, they are available in many models, colors and sizes, something to fit every budget and taste. And let’s face it- the Keurig is just plain convenient.
Coffee lovers everywhere have been wooed by this creation since the late 1990’s, but this brewing system didn’t actually hit its popularity peak until almost ten years later. The manufacturers are assiduous in developing upgrades to accommodate preferences, as well as improving each system’s performance, style and function.
We’ve just given you a pretty good idea of what the Keurig is and how it was born. Now, how do you go about choosing one? What makes each one different? Which one will work best for you?
We’ve compiled a list of the most popular Keurig models and the specificity of each one:

Customer Reviews
Do not just take our word for it, take a look at what customers are saying:

Ranger
“Love it
I ordered this machine to replace the giant one I had before which finally died after years of use. I like this one a lot better because the color is prettier and it doesn’t take up so much counter space. I like that it only holds one cup of water at a time. My son had a bad habit of letting the water in the big, black Keurig sit around for a couple of days and then using it. Gross. Now I know he can’t do that with this machine. It brews a great cup of coffee and seems quieter than my old machine. I have nothing bad to say about this one. I highly recommend it.”
