We have the B60 Special Edition. 3 cup size. There isn't much difference between that and the larger and more expensive B70 model. The main difference is that you can run the water through cold to do iced tea or iced coffee.
I work at Bed Bath and Beyond and the B60 is by far the most popular model. The mini is nice for a second machine or for travelling, but the one cup size and no reservoir are a huge drawback in my opinion.
We have the Special Edition one, with 3 sizes. It is really great. I hate coffee so now DH can make some without stinking up the entire house, lol.
My mom has the mini - with no reservoir. She doesn't like ours because she thinks the water gets 'stale.' No one else complains and it isn't in there for that long. DH drinks a lot of coffee. She doesn't mind adding water each time she wants a cup. My dad sometimes thinks the coffee is too strong but DH likes the really dark roasts and I think my dad likes milder ones.
Do the models #s B30, B40, B60, B70 match any of these recommendations?
My dad likes his coffee so weak that I would just reuse my kcup for his coffee.My mom has the mini - with no reservoir. She doesn't like ours because she thinks the water gets 'stale.'

I bought ours last year as a "Today's Special Value" from QVC, and the program guide shows they will be back with some shows on 11/29/09, so if you haven't bought one by then you might to watch to see if there are any good deals. The QVC Keurig shows times are:

It doesn't show what will be offered this year, but I think they must be going to have another TSV to show the deal in that many shows.
Last year we got the Keurig Ultimate Coffee Brewer w/ 54 K-Cups & My K-Cup Filter @ around $125. It's used and loved everyday - coffee for DH, and to brew ice tea for me.![]()
