PULSE/Pre-Infusion Method for Keurig

Found within the SingleServeCoffeeForums:

Make all K-Cups "extra bold" by PULSEing your machine!

Simply insert your K-Cup as normal, place mug below and press the brew button. Once the water begins to run through, slightly pull up on the level to activate the autostop feature.

Wait ten-twenty seconds, then when you push the lever back down your brew should resume (Note: do not open the K-Cup holder, only pull up enough to pause the brew).

This method of pre-wetting, or "pre-infusing", the coffee grounds will result in a better extracted cup.

Keurig to release Mini Machine

Keurig B30 based on Keurig's hotel model B130

Keurig has announced that it will introduce a new home brewer with the smallest footprint yet. With an estimated footprint of just seven inches, the upcoming Keurig B30 will be perfect for the RV, dorm room, or corner of your office desk.

What makes this machine perfect for those road warriors among us is that the Keurig B30 has skipped the large reservoir, and opting instead to heat and hold only enough water for each cup. This means you would pour in 8 ounces of water, and three minutes later a delicious 8 ounce brew of K-Cup coffee is ready to enjoy. No water is left in the machine to slosh or spill while traveling.

This machine will be available in black and white from most retailers, with red models available through the Keurig website, beginning in late summer/early fall 2008.

K-Cups for Keurig Beverage Systems

Keurig Premium Coffee Systems™ is the industry leader in single-cup coffee brewing technology in the U.S. Introduced in 1998, Keurig's innovative single-cup brewing system lets coffee lovers brew perfect coffee, one cup at a time, in less than a minute.

Keurig was founded by coffee lovers who believed that coffee should always be served fresh, whether at home or at the office, just as in a gourmet coffee house. They noticed that people were constantly leaving the office in search of a fresh cup of coffee and asked themselves: "Why do we brew coffee a pot at a time when we drink it a cup at a time?" From this question, the revolutionary concept of Keurig K-Cup® portion pack brewing was born.

CoffeeGIANT.com offers a variety of K-cups for the Keurig B100 and B50 Beverage Systems.

Green Mountain has 23 varieties of K-cups. Every K-cup portion pack contains its own filter and just the right amount of freshly roasted Green Mountain Coffee that has been precision ground and sealed for freshness. The K-cups have been flushed with nitrogen and stay sealed until you start brewing so there are never any worries about the coffee getting stale. Now everyone can chose from a wide variety of blends, light and dark roasts, Fair Trade and Organic, flavored and decaf coffees. No clean up, no hassle, no waste, just a good cup of coffee.

Diedrich roasts 6 different coffee varieties that can be used in the brewer. Diedrich takes its freshest, most delicious coffees, made from 100% Arabica beans, and packs them into the Keurig K-Cup®, a unique patented package that keeps the coffee fresh. Coffees offered include flavored, and origins and blends in both regular and decaffeinated.

Gloria Jean’s offers 12 different coffees and 7 different teas in the K-Cup option. The coffees are produced from the finest Arabica beans and Gloria Jean’s offers some wonderful flavors to choose from. The teas offer a choice of both regular and herbal decaf.

Celestial Seasonings teas are available in K-cups, packaged exclusively by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. Celestial Seasonings is the largest herb tea manufacturer in North America and is expanding internationally at a rapid rate serving more than 1.2 billion cups of tea per year.

Cutting Costs on Gloria Jean's and Diedrich K-cups

Despite the rapidly rising cost of coffee CoffeeGIANT.com has lowered prices on Diedrich and Gloria Jeans K-cups. CoffeeGIANT.com states, “The competition for web business really pays off for the web consumer in ways the traditional coffee customer cannot enjoy.” They continue, “We’re not sure of how trends will continue but, for now the online customers are the winners.”

In search of the "perfect cup"

Why is it that no matter how fancy your coffeemaker or expensive your coffee, every pot you brew tastes different?

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, a small Vermont coffee shop that grew into a national coffee wholesaler and mail-order company, thinks it’s because you have to deal with the hassle of grinding beans, measuring coffee, handling filters and cleaning up. So it’s taken all those chores out of the process of brewing the “perfect cup of coffee.”

The company’s Keurig Single Cup Brewer uses microprocessor technology to precisely control every step of the brewing process to deliver a consistent taste profile with every brew. Just insert the Green Mountain K-Cup, which contains the right grind and amount of coffee specific to each variety, into the brewer. The patented engineering of the K-Cup protects coffee from oxygen, moisture, light and temperature changes — all elements that cause it to stale. Because the K-Cup acts as a self-contained mini-brewing chamber, there is no residue left in the brewer to taint the next brew.

Ideal for the office that wants to keep its employees from nipping out to Starbucks twice a day, the Keurig B100 Single Cup Brewer has an 80-ounce water tank. It costs $255.00 and comes with 100 K-Cups. The new, smaller B50 model is designed for home use. It offers two brew strengths, has a convenient removable water tank and has an introductory price of $149.95 with 24 K-Cups.

Based on its performance, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters has been recognized for the past five years as one of Forbes magazine’s 200 Best Small Companies.
