As other reviews have said, once the hot chocolate is brewed it is bland, bland, bland. Why? Because if you look in the used k-cup, there’s the rest of it sitting in the bottom of the cup! Brainless. Better that it’s NOT in your cup because of the ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER that is NOT LISTED on the package gives it the tell-tale metallic taste. That’s inexcusable, they need to label their products has having an artificial sweetener and artificial flavor, ugh. In addition, it’s a trash creating machine, all those k-cups in landfills. Shame.
Stay away.

Here are the OBJECTIVE shortcomings of the B30 “entry level” Keurig (I cannot speak for its higher-priced brethren.)
1) Like its rival Senseo [a MUCH more convenient machine], you need some serious vertical real estate to pop the top open. Which means sliding the machine to the front of your kitchen countertop so it can clear the cabinets above. You pour the water in, then slide it back. Fine – if you’re not using the counterspace for anything else.
2) The Keurig B30 heats its water to a whopping 160 degrees, not even close to an adequate brewing temperature (unless you’re talking about tea.) Brew coffee into a room temperature mug, and you’ve got a 150 degree cup of coffee. Better drink it REALLY fast so it doesn’t get cold. Like to add milk, you say? Uh-uh… unless you heat the milk first.
3) It has an operating sequence that defies logic. If you don’t follow it TO THE LETTER, the machine shuts downs, and you have to start over.
4) The K-cups take up a LOT of cabinet space.
Keurig is one of those darlings-of-the-month products that everyone just HAS to have. I know a LOT of folks who are all atwitter and goosebumply over these machines. But, much as I love them, most wouldn’t know a good cup of coffee from a bowl of swill. These are the kind of people we all know who simply HAVE to have all the latest cool stuff… and the credit card debt to go with it. But I digress…
If you want REAL convenience at a low cost, and don’t mind a) a six ounce cup or b) using two pods and running the machine through two sequences for an American-sized cup, BUY A SENSEO. It’s not quite as elegant as the Keurig (unless you buy the high-end model), but it heats to an honest 180 to 185 degrees; a blind man riding a horse backward could easily see that its easier to operate than the Keurig; and you can store at least a month’s supply of pods in the space of a cereal box.

this should have come with a carring case. there’s one available now but it’ll put you out $20. They also need to make a hard shell to put this thing in. I didn’t throw away the box because the box was/is designed to mold/hug the mini perfectly but is now falling apart(i.e. the box). Yes, the soft carrying case is nice but u need a hard shell if packing your car for a trip is tight. Otherwise this is a solid product

I have been using this machine for a few months. It works great.
But I have a big concern with the k-cups. They are not recyclable. Green Mountain prides themselves as an environmentally friendly company, but millions of non-recyclable plastic k-cups are being discarded. If the k-cups could be thrown in the recycle bin, I’d give the machines 5 stars.

After talking with a lot of friends that love this, I bought my wife one. She had been talking about these for months. Our first cup was a huge disappointment. It came out looking like weak tea, and the last few ounces were just water. The second cup with more grinds and less water was only a little better. I had purchased the reusable filter as well, seeing how much the K-cups are. To get something resembling a decent cup of coffee you need to fill it all the way up (2.7 tblspn), that is a lot more than our small coffee maker. So, back to the store. As an aside, my wife does NOT like a real strong cup of coffee. Her favorite coffee is too weak for me. So it says something to me that this machine brews coffee that is too weak for her.
