We have our winner: The Glamorous Life Association, who said "My favorite flavor? the Vanilla one" is the lucky winner of the Keurig Platinum Edition Coffemaker! Congrats, Marcy! And for the rest of you hot drinking lovers, come see more of Keurig at the Swiffer Social Luxe Lounge in our Internet Cafe!
Let me introduce you to my BFF appliance: The Keurig Platinum Edition Coffeemaker.
We've been through a dozen coffeemakers in my house and still we kept heading back to the coffee shop on a near daily basis. Why? Because the coffee makers made my cup too strong, too weak too...wrong. Further complicating matters was the fact that my husband prefers a very different cup of coffee than me. So I was forced to drink his brew or he had to drink mine. And then there was the matter of the last cup of coffee in the pot. That should just be outlawed. It's always gross!
The Keurig really solved our a.m. coffee wars, bringing equality back to our brewing. Every cup is brewed individually to your personal specifications. I was expecting that part to be great - and indeed it was. What we did not expect, however, was how popular the device would be with the rest of our non-coffee drinking family members. I had no idea how versatile Keurigs were before I owned mine. For starters:
Iced Tea - the Platinum has a setting that allows you to brew their Tea K-cups in a concentrated form. Add some crushed ice and you have iced tea. Add some lemon juice and sweetener, and you have an Arnold Palmer.
Hot Chocolate - Have you seen the selection of Hot Cocoa K-cups for the Keurig. My kids are in love. We top with whipped cream or mini marshmallows for a special treat
Instant Oatmeal, Soup, etc - We don't have "instant hot" water in our house but I have always wished we did for all those "just add hot water" food items. Now we do! The Keurig Platinum Edition can be run without a K-cup to prepare these things in a jiffy or to use your own tea. My kids are always running out the door with cup of oatmeal en route to school!
My husband was sure he'd hate this coffeemaker because he has a coffee (grind your own) that he prefers. But he recently purchased a My K-Cup attachment that lets him brew cups with his own coffee and all is good in Java-land here. Everyone is drinking the beverage they prefer, at the strength they prefer, fresh and ready when they want it. We've banished the last cup from the pot from our kingdom.
Wish you had a Keurig Platinum Edition too? Now is your chance! Visit the Keurig website and have a look at their multitude of K-cup flavors. Tell us in the comments below which is your favorite, and how you'd use your Keurig. One winner will be selected at random and announced on 7/8.

I love my coffee – but hate my coffee pot. I’ve been coveting one of these nifty machines since I saw one a year ago. I know that coffee can’t buy happiness, but I think this would come close.
Especially with some Mudslide coffe from Gloria Jeans. *drool*
Hot Chocolate – any chocolate ummmmmmm
Ghirardelli hot cocoa….all the way!!
OHH what a great thing! My husband is not a coffee drinker, so making just 1 cup is perfect. Our grandparents & aunts all have this coffeemaker. I LOVE IT. My favorite is the Cafe Escapes Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa or Gloria Jeans (any flavor) coffee. YUM YUM!
Newmans Own Decaf for me and Black Tiger for my hubby. Oh and hot cocoa for the kids!
We love the hot chocolate!
My husband was introduced to the Keurig while deployed in Iraq last year! I had been faithfully sending him bags and bags of Starbucks ground coffee in his care packages…when one day, he asked me to start sending K-Cups for the Keurig(oh, and please send enough for all of the squadron:0)…..I had never heard of a Keurig.He went on to tell me that it is the most AMAZING COFFEE MAKER EVER!
So, now he is thankfully home….but still longs for the Keurig Coffee Maker….he loves the stronger brews of Caribou and Gloria Jeans.I would love to win one of these fabulous machines!
That little machine looks fabulous!
I love to have one because we don’t have any! My wife hates coffee but my little girl (uh…not so little 17) loves it. She likes to try different flavors but I stick to the robust type at work……
Caribou, medium blend k cup. Definitely! Until I change my mind again. The Earl Grey and hot chocolate look great too.
Yummy! I would definitely use the hot chocolate and hot water feature!
for sure, for sure caribou for me…. hazlenut for the hubby… and for the kiddos… hot tea and hot chocolate!!! love!!!!
I think I’d mix it up… take a mug large enough to manage two brews and then combine a hot chocolate with a dark roast… Creating my own makeshift mocha!!!
We love the hot chocolate and hazlenut.
I love using my father-in-law’s kuerig when we go visit. I love all the Newman’s Own varieties.
I would LOVE the hot chocolate for cold winter days!
LOVE my coffee in the morning, but only a cup for me…Caribou Blend. And some hot chocolate for the kids!
Green Mountain – Vermont Country Blend is great!
Oh how I wish you had a Keurig Platinum Edition coffeemaker!!
My favorite flavor is National Wildlife Blend Coffee by Green Mountain.
I would use my coffeemaker to “help save the wildlife while enjoying subtle hints of chocolate and caramel”.
I would also use my coffeemaker to save lots of money at the coffee shop!
Oh how I wish I had a Keurig Platinum Edition coffeemaker!! I had!! Me!!
Well,
We’re a mixed marriage on our house when it comes to coffee. I like strong coffee, my wife is a more genteel sort and I suspect she thinks my coffee selection is just short of drinking an aromatic blend of rubber and motor oil.
A single cup brewer would calm the coffee tempest, and a selection of hot chocolate would please the kids – so this looks like a perfect fit.
If we had one I would certainly choose the dark roast, but would find the most satisfaction in handing it over to my wife so that she did not have to endure my strange brew.
Cheers!
Definitely Emeril’s coffee – I like low acidic coffees.
I tried the Keurig at my dad’s house two weekends and fell in love! My house has friends coming and going. The variety is just amazing. If I have to pick one flavour, it would have to be the Jet Fuel Coffee by The Coffee People.. I am a single mom with a wild 11 year old boy… I need Jet Fuel in the morning! Yummy with a great wake me up.
I don’t go without coffee… It’s best not to speak to me unless I have at least two cups in me….This machine would be a bessing for my girlfriend. I drink it as dark and dirty as possible, she likes the teas. Please save her!
Oh.. forgot to tell you my choice….Dark Magic… extra bold!!!!!!
