Keurig Vue

While I don't normally blog on a product before I have actually try it,  I have one product that I feel has won my heart over.  When I first got wind of the Keurig Vue I had already been looking at the Keurig brand for a while.  Everyone one is bragging about them.  

Now I love coffee, I'm a gold card holder of Starbucks (I have a Starbucks a block from my house which is not good on my wallet), I have tons of flavors and syrups at home to make my own coffee creations.  I had a cappuccino machine (till it broke recently) a standard coffee pot that make an ok cup of coffee at best  for when I need a bigger cup of coffee or have a bunch of  guest over for parties.  But I never have the same coffee everyday.  I always change it up.  I will have a mocha in the morning, cherry Joe at lunch ( my creation of black coffee and cherry syrup)  and whatever I feel like later in the day.  Put it this way I like to live my life to the fullest and bring on the variety.  I love all the different flavors and this is  one of the reasons the Keurig Vue appeals to me.  Is has a ton of brews including the Starbucks Roast.

The features I really like are you can change the flavor of coffee,  you can make tea, hot chocolate, change the serving size and even tempture.  These couple features alone can help me clear off some much need space on my counter!  It would also help make entertaining a breeze.  I have company over a  lot.

I also like my things to have a nice look to them.  Maybe it's the OCD in me but the Keurig Vue it's self is beautiful and sleek.  It is also touch screen.  Even if my computer is already out of date the Keurig Vue can keep me up with the times. ;)

Now if you go to the Keurig website you can enter your email and they will let you know when they are being release for sale.  The cost is about $250.00.  Don't run!  I know what your thinking, remember I'm a frugal girl myself.  Look at it this way.  If your the type of person that spends  $4.00 or more on coffee for Starbucks.  You do this once a day. going on that alone that's already a $120.00 a month.  Keurig Vue will pay for it's self very quickly.  And you get a great cup of coffee that's fast and easy.  

I also haven't heard any complaints from my many friends that already have earlier versions of the Keurig.  They rave and my friends honest thoughts go far with me.   So if you are a coffee lover I encourage you to check out the Keurig Vue.   I will leave you percolating with a bit of info straight from the Keurig website.  I can't wait to see what else this baby can do!
