Keurig B70 Platinum: Full Review
If it’s good to be the king then it’s good to be the B70. The Keurig B70 Platinum single-cup home brewing system is the top dog in Keurig’s home line of single-serve coffee makers and if you can afford the best then here it is. I speak from experience on this as I’ve had my Platinum for well over 4 years now with barely a missed day in use. I figure over the course of my owning the B70, I’ve run the brewer through at least a thousand cycles. And it still works and makes great coffee like it did from day one.

Keurig B70 Platinum | Maintenance
Yes, there are a few things you have to do to take care of it (see my Keurig Maintenance post) from time to time but as far as coffee makers go it’s the simplest I’ve owned. Should I ever break it or it unexpectedly dies on me I simply will buy another B70. How many other appliances do you own where if they break you’d just get the same model all over again? I can’t think of one except my Keurigs.
Keurig B70 Platinum | On a Side Note…
I want to make a side note here to anyone here who is reading lots of reviews online and really considering buying the Keurig B70:
Honestly, a lot of the Keurig reviews I’ve seen online have a problem that I must mention. At times the reviewers are critical of the coffee but don’t say enough about the machine. Here’s the thing: your coffee will only be as good as the k-cups you buy. That’s it. If you buy terrible coffee then no high-end machine can save you. And if you are buying a top of the line Keurig then for heaven’s sake earmark a few extra dollars for some good k-cups. Before you do that, you have to evaluate what features you are looking for in a single-server maker and that’s why you need a review of the machine.
Believe it or not, more people will complain about a product than praise it. That goes for the online world as well as off. If you aren’t using quality k cups, then your coffee isn’t going to be good. Lots of people still so this, and Keurig occasionally gets a bad rap. What’s really interesting is that the difference in price between a terrible k-cup and a high quality one may be $0.25. You have to try several out before settling on your faves.
Okay, now that that is out of the way…
The Keurig B70 is the feature packed elder brother of all the other Keurig models. It has a large backlit LCD screen with lots of options for things like: setting the temperature of the brew and selecting the size of the cup. The screen alerts you to when the machine is heated up and ready to brew and will also notify you of when it is time to descale. It has a removable water reservoir and drip tray which make for easier cleaning and also has a water-level sensor. The sensor will detect when the reservoir is low and a blue light will blink to indicate it’s time for a refill. The B70 water reservoir can be filled by removing the lid and pouring in fresh water or removing the entire tank and refilling at the sink.
