Have you heard, Father’s Day is coming up, did you come up with a gift yet? Is he a die-hard coffee drinker like someone I know (uh-hemmmm, my hubby)? If so, let me make a suggestion for you, please buy him the Keurig Special Edition Brewing System, he is going to love it!

The Keurig Special Edition Brewing System is not your typical coffee maker! Not only can you make coffee, but you can also make cappuccino, latte, espresso, hot chocolate, tea and iced beverages. Essentially, Keurig beverage choices are limitless. What's great about this brewer is that is uses convenient K-Cups which are available at a variety of retailers. Each K-Cup contains a premeasured amount of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Just insert the K-Cup and brewing simply begins with the push of a button.

Just for spring, Keurig is offering new Brew Over Ice k-cups and a specific 16 oz. Iced Beverage Tumbler. The BPA free double walled tumbler keeps your beverage cool to the very last sip. Perfect for these sunny and warm days! Although, all brewers can brew over ice, and all k-cup portion packs can be used to brew over ice, the Brew Over Ice k-cups are enhanced portion packs specifically designed for iced beverages.

ace and friends thoughts

Keurig comparatively is the best looking, the most durable, has the best heating and pumping mechanism, and has the largest variety of coffees, teas and brew over ice options available. 

It works not just as a coffee maker, there are also tea K-Cups available and it also can be used to heat water in less than 20 seconds. So if you have a tea bag and just want hot water, there is not need to use a kettle. Ever.

You can also buy a filter {My K-Cup} that allows you to place your own GROUND beans in the machine and make your favorite coffee blend. I absolutely LOVE this option!

It is ridiculously easy to use. No paper filters needed. No grinds in the bottom of the cup.

My hubby can choose between 3 cup sizes whether he want a very quick cup, have enough time to savor a cup at home, or fill up his travel mug to hit the road. Enough about him... what's my favorite new part for the summer? I get to have a delicious iced beverage in less than a minute! Our new favorite... Celestial Seasonings Half & Half Black Tea and Lemonade. Super YUM!

The Keurig Special Edition Brewing System is good for those of you who (like my hubby) doesn't have time (or forget to set the timer) to brew a full pot of coffee. Regarding K-Cup price... they are cheaper than a cup of coffee at your local coffee shop, but more expensive than using a traditional coffee pot. Bottom line... worth the investment, because this household couldn't live without our super quick java! Thanks Keurig!
