I was lucky enough to be
chosen as a HouseParty host for the Keurig Vue. A few weeks ago I received the
Vue brewer and the Party Pack.
Not having been a Keurig
brewer owner previously, I wasn't sure what to expect. I've used other Keurig
brewers in the past and liked the idea and taste of the individually brewed
beverages but the Keurig Vue has exciting new features and a touchscreen
display! The Vue brewer retails for $249.
- Choose your cup size- you can buy Vue cups for regular
sized (8-12oz.) or travel sized mugs (up to 18 oz.).
- Choose beverage temperature
- Choose brew strength
- Choose beverage type- coffee, cafe drinks (cappuccinos
with froth, chai latte, etc), iced beverages, tea and hot chocolate.
I love all of these
choices and so do my friends and family. Let's face it, not everyone loves
flavored coffee and no longer do you have to commit to a full pot! My friends
& family members all like different beverages and are happy they have so
many choices on beverage, brew strength, size and temperature. The coffee is
high quality and so far my favorites are Green Mountain Breakfast Blend and
Barista Prima Cappucino.
The Vue is brand new to
market. I expect there will be new varieties of Vue cups offered soon. The
price of the Vue cups varies, but I think around $10 -$13 per box of Vue cups
is average. There are different quantities of Vue cups per pack depending on the
beverage pack you're buying.
The brewer itself is
really easy to use. One you fill the water tank and it has preheated, you
follow the steps on the touchscreen to brew your selected beverage. This is
where you can choose brew strength, size, and temperature. If your travel mug
doesn't fit, you simply pull out the base and your mug fits.
I don't really have any
complaints about the Keurig Vue. Some people have reported that the brewer is
loud, when it preheats the water it sounds like an electric tea kettle but I
think the noise level is fine. I was impressed that the brewer doesn't make a
mess when using shorter mugs, thankfully there's not a lot of splashing or
dripping, just be sure to have a big enough mug for the size you select to
avoid overflows! The water tank can easily be filled a few different ways so
you don't have to take the whole tank off if you don't want to.
If you register the
brewer on Keurig.com you get a promo code to receive 2 free boxes of Vue cups with
purchase of 2. I've used this as wells the Bed Bath & Beyond 20% off
coupons to get better deals on the Vue cups. I also think they will soon make a
refillable Vue filter soon so you can use regular ground coffee, not just the
Vue cups.
I give the Keurig Vue 5
stars out of 5! I love it!
