my first keurig

I was initially skeptical when a good friend mentioned that I must purchase a Keurig Single Cup Coffee Brewer. Greg, who unfortunately lives out of town, is the same friend who's opinion I trusted most. With a little online research and a lot of assurance from him, I decided to purchase the Special Edition B60 Single Cup Coffee Brewer. Now with the machine and its many varieties of coffee, tea and cocoa packets in my possession, I was ready to start brewing.
Since my past consisted of only owning multi-cup drip coffee makers, I was excited to realize my days of chugging hours old sludge were over. I always despised making a full jug of four, eight or twelve cups of coffee each day, just to pour the majority away hours later. What a waste. In the present, my life has changed with the Keurig Single Cup, brewing one delicious hot cup of coffee or tea at a time. It's been 10 years since the introduction of the innovative Keurig single-cup brewing system. Sometimes I'm slow in realizing new advancements and the Keurig is no exception. Since you can't make up lost time, I shall move forward with my large variety of coffees, teas, and cocoas and start making some delicious treats.
Let us first start with the type of water to use. Tap water is fine, however I suggest bottled spring water if you want a better tasting coffee. Next, you will have to shop for the patented Keurig K-cups. They offer more than 190 varieties of coffee, tea, and hot cocoa. Varieties of coffee from light to extra bold, flavored, decaffeinated, half-caffeinated, to full caffeine all from famous name blends. Several different varieties of tea are also available, as well as Ghirardelli Premium Hot Cocoa. My favorites included Emerils Big Easy Bold Coffee with its invigorating deep smokey flavor, and the Celestial Seasonings Decaffeinated Green Tea with its smooth flavor and natural goodness using a compound that occurs naturally in the tea leaves. I found the full-bodied brew of this green tea an evening delight, relaxing me prior to bedtime.
Now that you made your choice of coffee or tea, all you have to do is turn on the brewer, and fill with the desired amount of water. The brewer will notify you when the right amount of water is in the machine. Place a single serve cup beneath, choose your cup size and hit brew button. Wow, this is simple! In less than a minute the Keurig well say when the cup of coffee or tea is ready. After using the coffee maker cup the manufacturer recommends, you can rinse out the machine by brewing a cup of hot water without a K-cup. This ensures a perfect cup for the next person who may choose a different flavor. This is especially helpful for the Keurig coffee maker in the office. Speaking of office, now I know where i'll put my Second Keurig Coffee Maker . If I only had a summer home. Before I forget, I must once again thank Greg for another excellent recommendation.

spas and keurig a perfect marriage

Did you know there has been an increase in spas located directly in medical and dental offices. Being directly involved in the dental profession, I personally know many dentists that have provided the opportunity for their patients to relax during their dental visit. They provide, many times at little to no cost, relaxation services including full body, head, eye, foot, hand, or neck massage, relaxing music, movies, televisions on ceilings, vibrating chairs, facials, make up applications, and aroma therapy. These Dental spas are where people can get their dental work performed in a relaxing state and environment.
Now imagine this tranquil ambiance of the spa environment office paired with a $20 dollar multi-cup sludge machine providing stale coffee. Well this scenario actually was occurring in one of my good friends practice. I could not imagine how he went the whole 9 yards without realizing the final yard required a premium beverage experience. This is where the Keurig single cup coffee maker comes in with its sleek design and its near 200 varieties of premium coffee, tea, and cocoa. In less than 60 seconds a clients palette can be tantalized with Timothy's finest caffeine free Chamomile Tea, or the luxuriously deep flavor of Ghirardelli Premium Double Chocolate Hot Cocoa. Maybe Van Houtte Classic Creme Brulee Coffee might be ones calling. Or how about the fine quality of Celestial Seasonings Decaf Green Tea. I think you're getting the point. 
With all the money spent on technology for televisions, lasers, computers, vibrating chairs, and massage tables, most medical and dental offices surprisingly notice the coffee maker being the most cost effective way to make patients feel cared for and special.  A Keurig Coffee Maker ideally should be placed in the waiting room where patients can browse the selection and make a cup of delight at the touch of their fingertips.  The anxious, nervous patient can relax with a cup of green tea, waiting moms can recharge with a cup of cappuccino, and kids love the sweet taste of cocoa. 
As more people are demanding and paying for a spa like experience in all professional settings, it seems consistent that the Keurig Coffee Maker provides the perfect partner in this endeavour. So hear me all health professionals; if you're creating a spa experience for your clients, please provide them the perfect complementary beverage from Keurig.  It will help build patient trust, provide comfort and added relaxation, and most importantly boost patient referrals.
