I received this product through Influenster to try out and review. How to sum up my verdict - I love this machine. I love the flexibility to choose between a single cup or a carafe and I love that I can select from more than 200 flavors. I have been always an avid coffee drinker that would often select expensive coffee brands because I cannot stand bitter coffee. The Keurig now allows me to have sgtrong coffee, that does not taste bitter and it is the brewing technique of the Keurig that I have to thank for this. The quick turnaround to get my cup of joe in the morning is great, being on the run, I now can get freshly brewed coffee at home rather than pay huge prices at the coffee shop and the flavor is the same. I love, as a computer geek, the lightshow in the watertank (yes, no kidding) and the fact that I can customize the Keurig ti fit my kitchen decor. It is these little touches that make love my Keurig even more.
I love the lighting features and that we can change the wallpaper. There isn't a huge selection but I like that we are able to make it our own! :) I also love that we can make a 3-4 cup carafe! Sometimes I want more than one cup and it makes it easy and convenient. I received this product free from Influenster for testing and review purposes. And I would definitely recommend.
Pros: Attractive Mouthfeel/Body, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Easy To Assemble, Pleasing Roast, Easy to use, Pleasing Aroma, A Favorite Capability, Smooth Taste, Balanced Acidity
I would recommend this to a friend!

Obsessed!!!

I was gifted the Keurig 2.0 by Keurig and Influenster for testing and review purposes, and I don't know how I ever survived without this brewer. It is absolutely gorgeous, and looks so nice and sleek on the countertop. Brewing an entire carafe is so convenient for having guests over, or just when splitting a pot with my husband! An excellent machine!
I received this Keurig coffeemaker from Influenster for free for testing purposes. I was a little put off at first by the fact that Keurig has made it so you cannot use non-Keurig branded K-cups in this unit. I understand why they are implementing this change (money and quality control), however I also understand why people are upset about it. I don't like not being able to use my refillable filter in this new machine. However, I am going to give it a little time to see if Keurig comes out with something similar in order to use special coffee blends that are not available through Keurig. (Also, I have already seen at least one workaround for this issue... so I know there will be more in time) Let's get to the good! The machine itself is sleek and beautiful! It looks great on my counter compared to my old one. Being able to change the color of the reservoir light is a fun feature, as well as being able to set it up as a night light on a timer. Speaking of timer, we can now set our Keurig to brew a carafe of coffee on a timer. This is something I am sure we will use when we want coffee ready when we wake up in the morning. The new K-carafe cups make 4 cups of coffee at a time, which is definitely convenient! I still like being able to brew one cup at a time as well, because my husband and I have decidedly different taste in coffee. It may seem that we are losing a lot of coffee choices with this new machine, until you look at the website and see all the different coffees, lattes, teas, etc. that Keurig offers. In my opinion, the only functionality we are losing is being able to brew inferior coffees. (This is aside from being able to use a refillable filter to brew custom blends; that is something I am already missing). http://youtu.be/bhtqdHJpGT0
Cons: Uses Keurig Brand K-cups, No Refillable Filter

Gorgeous and Sexy Brewing Machine

I received this product complimentary for testing purposes. I am not compensated on this review. All opinions are my own. I was truly overjoyed and excited when I received my Keurig 2.0 –K550 for free. This product is one my most favorite freebies simply because I do like and admire this innovative and smart machine. I finally own one and I am so happy about it! The huge box arrived in perfect condition. With a short assembly of the filter kit into the water reservoir, I happily set up my new Keurig coffee maker in few minutes. Knowing that Keurig 2.0 is the FIRST brewing system that can brew a K-cup (single cup) and a K-carafe (4 cups) was truly awesome. One touch and it reads each portion pack perfectly! That is a smart innovation to have that perfect brew every time! I love the large touch color display which I can customize and the Hot Water on Demand feature is a blessing. The night light feature with 4 colors to choose from is a cool feature too. I've been using my Keurig 2.0 - K550 since the day it arrived and so far, I am thrilled and contended. Let's be honest, if you have the older systems which can only do one function at a time, wouldn't it be great to own one that can do more than one function? To sum it up, since this is my first Keurig coffee maker, I truly love it. In the kitchen, we have stainless steel appliances and Keurig 2.0 design is a perfect compliment; so gorgeous and sexy. I am hoping that as I continue to use this, I will be able to find my favorite coffee and other beverages in K-cups and K-Carafe.
I had never been excited about single cup brewing machines. For a house that drinks a lot of coffee it didn't always make sense. That is until the Keurig 2.0 came out. Not only is it easy to use but it has a great sleek and modern design. The Keurig 2.0 looks great in my kitchen. I love to have the option to brew a cup or a carafe. When my husband is traveling I can still have coffee without wasting a whole pot. The Keurig 2.0 completely works for our house and I absolutely love it. The only thing I do not like is the plastic carafe. We will soon be upgrading to the stainless steel option. I am now a Keurig LOVER and can't wait to try the large variety of options. I received this product free from Influenster for testing and review purposes.

Influenster gifted me this amazing gift and I am soooo happy. I purchased a smaller machine two years ago and it was nice but this IS SIMPLY amazing. The flavor is good and the aroma permeates the entire house. SO easy to use and you can get started making great coffee right out of the box! I honestly couldn't be more pleased. My husband is so proud to have such an amazing and cool looking gadget in the kitchen. Thanks Influenster and thanks Keurig for an amazing product. I can't wait to have company over for Christmas.....to TOTALLY show it off!
Pros: Cool Looking Machine, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Pleasing Aroma, Balanced Acidity, Not Bitter, Smooth Taste, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body, Ease of use

Haute Libations

Being an 'Influenster' provides me with a lot of perks and my new Keuring 2.0 is one of them! The brewing system is easy to use, the pods produce flavorful libations and the cleanup takes no time at all. I am a hardcore frenchpress type of gal but this system has introduced me to new ways of enjoying a drink especially on the go. It takes up little space and the overall experience is decadent as well as endulgent. Like I said, being an 'Influenster' has it's perks and this is certainly one of them.
