The Keurig B60's 7.25 Ounce Drip Trasy

The Keurig B40, B60 and B70 all have a good sized drip tray to catch spills and drips when you are making coffee.

But I didn’t know their full capacity until this morning when, while making my first cup of the day, I managed to start the brew cycle without putting a mug under the brew head. Pretty dumb, I know. But I’m not at my best first thing in the morning.

The funny part was when I turned back to the brewer, and my mug of coffee seemed to have disappeared. I had heard the brew cycle, there was no mess on the counter…so where was my coffee?

Fortunately, the drip tray contained the full 7.25 ounces.

I can understand why this isn’t one of the advertised features of these brewers. Not everyone is so careless. But I was grateful nevertheless.

What about the Keurig B30 Mini? No, it doesn’t have a drip tray that can hold 7.25 ounces. But it does have a very nifty failsafe system that prevents you from starting the brewing process unless you have a mug in place under the brew head.

Which goes to show that all the Keurig brewers are a great choice for early-morning knuckleheads.

A box of 50 Keurig K-Cups.

Up here in Montreal, Canada, I usually pay $15.75 for a box of 24 K-Cups. That comes to about 67 cents per cup of coffee brewed.

But just this morning I was doing some shopping at Costco and found boxes of 50 K-Cups selling for just $24.95. That reduces the price per cup brewed to just 50 cents. Quite a saving.

That said, this is the first time I have come across this kind of pricing. But if you have a Costco or similar warehouse store close by, it may well be worth checking them out.

The Costco near us has always sold plenty of coffee, but the K-Cups didn’t appear until they decided to stock the Keurig B60 brewer. The B60 isn’t the latest in the Keurig line, nor does it have the most bells and whistles. But it seems to be the model most often stocked by offline retailers.

Good luck with the hunt for K-Cups in boxes of 50. If you find them any place other than Costco, leave a comment and let us know.
