. First designed and patented to contain Green Mountain Coffee, now other gourmet blends like Timothy’s, Newman’s Own, and Caribou Coffee are available in K-Cups. There are over 200 different gourmet coffee blends and roasts, even flavored coffees, teas and cocoa in K-Cups. These are all fine Arabica coffees, known for their quality and complex flavors.

Approximately two-thirds of the world’s coffee crop is Arabica beans. They produce better coffee and about 80% are used for commercially produced coffees. Of that 80%, only 10% are selected for specialty gourmet coffees. This is what you buy in coffee stores and from individual coffee roasters. This is the coffee you will brew with a K-Cup.

What you definitely will not find in a K-Cup is a blend of Robusto beans. Considered inferior tasting, you will find Robusto beans in cheaper supermarket coffee. Some brands have a certain proportion of Robusto beans or may consist entirely of Robusto. The beans are often used as a filler and mixed with Arabica beans to make cheaper blends. Then the labels can advertise that the coffee DOES contain Arabica coffee.

Robusto beans make up about one-third of the annual production of coffee. The Robusto coffee plant is hardier and produces a larger crop, making it the bean counter’s dream and the darling of the supermarket brands. Since these beans contain twice as much caffeine, they’re great at keeping the troops awake and are often in commercial brands popular with pancake houses and all-night truck stops. Robusto is usually the base for instant coffee and is used in some espresso blends to produce crema, the frothy, top layer. Robusto adds a distinct flavor and body to espresso and this distinguishes it in milk drinks. Many Italian roasts have Robusto in their blends.

Robusto coffee was undoubtedly what your grandmother brewed on the stove. It often had a bitter, burnt taste which was partially masked with milk and sugar. Until the late 1960′s, most people’s idea of a cup of coffee was grandma’s or a cup of joe from the diner. People did not think about the type of bean, its origin, how fresh it was, or how it was roasted. Coffee was a generic beverage.

Then things began to change, when Alfred Peet opened his small coffee store in Berkeley, California. He sold high quality Arabica beans roasted the way he’d learned in the Netherlands coffee trade. Working with small batches and controlled roasting techniques, Peet’s darker style produced a rich, complex coffee which was a quite a change from the burnt rubber taste of the ‘ho-hum coffee’ Americans were used to. The coffee took off and Peet’s success was the catalyst for the specialty coffee movement. Peet trained three friends in his roasting methods; they moved to Seattle and founded Starbucks in 1971. Today Peet is widely credited with starting the specialty coffee revolution in the US. Coffee historians call him “The Dutchman who taught America how to drink coffee”. So while you won’t find Peet’s coffee, yet in K-Cups, you will enjoy a vast selection of Arabica roasts and blends from Green Mountain and many others.

*NEW* Keurig Mini B30 Brewer

But from the different models to choose from based on their technical descriptions of the features describing these models it can be a bit difficult to make up your mind on which model is the right one for you. So if its a Keurig coffee maker model which has caught your attention, here are some details which can be useful in helping you decide the right model for you.

Here are a few questions you need to answer before you make your purchase of your home coffee maker. How many choices do you need in different cup sizes?

So if you like a large cup of coffee, a coffee maker which can fill in your cup can be a feature you may like in your machine. Again, if you like your coffee strong, its the smaller size cups that can give you a strong cup of coffee.

So the coffee machines with the larger cup size are not what will make a difference for you. How many cups of coffee do you need?

Do you need a larger capacity?  The Keurig B40 and the B60 models come with a 48 oz removable reservoir where as if you need larger capacity water reservoir, go for the Keurig B70 with a 60 oz capacity.

So depending on the cup size you choose, the 60 oz will let you have more time and more cups between filling the water reservoir.

The B70 can be quite good if you love to entertain aswell, again removes the hard work of filling the water reservoir after every few cups.

How important is the programmable function for you?

The B60 and B70 come with a nice looking programmable LCD screen which can be good feature to have in a machine, as it informs you of quite a few things like when the machine is ready for a brew or when the water reservoir needs filling up. Also, if you like a large cup of coffee , the B60 and B70 even lets you program and set your default cup size. These are a few points you might like to consider before making your final purchase.
