Should I get this brewer or the Keurig B130 DeskPro Brewer?

I bought the Mr. Coffee single that uses K-cups as a gift for my grandson. He loves it. He hasn't had any problems with it. Great price too!

For the money it works just fine. Just make sure you run a descaler every 4-6 months.

If you only ever brew one cup of coffee at a time, the Keurig is fine. But, this one has a small reservoir (24oz) which I think makes it a better option over the DeskPro. You should also take into consideration the size of the cup you like to drink. This machine has a 6oz or 10oz option. The B130 DeskPro brews an 8oz cup.

Also - if you want / need something designed to work with K-cups, you'd be best off getting an actual Keurig. We have one of those as well - very nice machine.

There are big differences in the machines. The Keurig is essentially a *coffee* machine. It makes a standard cup of coffee. Yes, it can do flavors, and there are dozens and dozens of different varieties, but it is pretty much limited to straight coffee. (There's a hot cocoa K-cup, but it's made by Green Mountain. You know how famous Green Mountain is for their hot cocoa? They're not. There's a reason.) With that much variety, you're just about assured of finding a coffee to your taste. The brewing cycle is optimized for straight coffee (though there is some flexibility there). Temperature is sometimes an issue; some people find the coffee not quite hot enough. The Tassimo, on the other hand, has far fewer varieties of coffee, but a much greater range of beverage TYPES. It makes latte, cappuccino (regular or skinny), espresso, chai tea lattes, hot chocolate, black and green teas. It makes a nice three-level latte macchiato. The temperature of the finished product is higher, and it has Starbucks pods that taste very much like the real thing. But in general, it probably does not do straight coffee quite as well as a Keurig, and there are certainly many fewer bean types, roast types, and flavors for the Tassimo. We finally decided on a Tassimo, and we love it. And that's something you'll generally find to be true no matter what you buy. It's been our experience that unless you're a coffee connoisseur (in which case, neither machine beats the more labor-intensive brewing methods), you will probably be happy with either machine.

The B130 is a single cup brewer 8 oz at a time. Most of the other models have a large reservoir . The only draw back of the B-103 is you have to wait for the water to heat, where as the reservoir models store hot water for "instant" brewing, but hey, I can wait tow or three minutes.

Yes, it is most certainly commercial grade. My first experience with a Keurig was with the B130 at a Hilton Hotel near Austin, Texas and I liked the coffee so much that I bought one for myself; although I opted for the K75 instead because it makes several cup sizes and pre-heats the water. However, the B130 is a sturdier unit and would hold up better to rough usage, such as would be expected in a hotel, and the single cup size fits in with the strategy of simple and sturdy.

I have the HB Personal model and they work perfectly. Looked up the model you listed, and it looks very similar for a little more $. I am not sure what "commercial" means. It doesn't show the pod holder as well, so I can't be positive these will fit, but should as it states it is a pod brewer

What is different about the B30, B130, B150 and B155 from the other Keurig machines that it won't work? Why don't they make one that does work with those models? Seems that they are losing out on business by not making one.

I can not answer this question, I do not know what a B30 single serve Keurig is. The company does not list any system with that designation

Well this is my experience with the K145 Office Pro model. The machine in my office will take a generic reusable k-cup filter, however, the same model in my home would not. I had to research which reusable filter was compatible and that would be an EkoBrew. It fits fine and coffee brews perfectly through it. The EkoBrew reusable K-cup filter can be purchased through Amazon or at Wal-Mart for about $7.99 or so. I hope this helps, good luck.

I ordered a B70 also but got a K75 which I think is a newer model. However, the new models seem not to come with sample coffee; however, I did get not only the three pager, but also a thick instruction book and a book of product offers.

We are currently using this in our Keurig B30 which looks to be very close to the B130 on Keurigs website. The only thing that I can guess at is that the B130 looks to be a commercial or hotel version of the B30 which is a home brewing system. I guess if that is truly the case, then yes it would work perfectly fine.

It is the 155 commercial brewing system. You cannot buy it on the Keurig website, only at http://amazon.com.

NO - And Keurig conceals the fact that their "commercial" K-Cup brewing systems are not compatible (they made a mod to lock them out.) I just talked with their factory customer service. The directed me to a page titled "All K-Cup Brewing Systems" (www.keurig.com/shop/brewers/all-brewers) and only the HOME versions (first 5) work with a K-Cup. Even though the page even says "All K-Cup" and the model we bought starts with a K (K150) as in K-Cup!! Now that we're stuck with the K150 I see that they sneakily added special tabs to where you would put a K-Cup that locks it out. Makes it hard to close. Causes leaks if you try. Their customer service explanation is that K-Cups are "inconvenient" in an office. Truth is exactly the opposite. All they are trying to ko is FORCE you to use their own non-reusable coffee. And they conceal this dirty trick. And they even lock out THEIR OWN K-Cups. And their non-reusable coffee is VERY expensive. So we've been screwed by Keurig! Anyone found a solution to this problem? Help...!

We just replaced our office Keurig yesterday with a 2.0, and out of curiosity I tried using one of these "cappuccino" things literally about two minutes ago. The Keurig brewed it without issue.

I dont know much about the commercial brewers of Keurig but I have a B60 and it works well with my brewer.

1) The ec220 looks like a $150 machine and the ec155 looks like a $50 machine, 2) the ec220 has about 1.5 inches greater clearance than the ec155 and lets you use regular mugs, and even some tall mugs if you remove the drip tray. I have taken both machines apart and can vouch they are both the same internally. I found the ec220 for less, but I would still spend the extra $20 on the ec220. That said, I would get the Poemia black for $120 if I could go back in time. :-)
