An upgrade to the B50 series, the B60 offers an additional 10 oz brew size with the same LCD messaging center and 48 oz reservoir. Now discontinued, check out the new-and-improve K-Classic instead.

Keurig B60 Overview

Want to know one of the most common Keurig-related questions we're asked?

What's the difference between Keurig's B series and K series brewers?

Answer: Nothing. The switch from B to K was solely a marketing decision as the company realized branding their brewers with a K made more sense. (They're called Keurig, after all.)

The B60 Special Edition is an improvement on Keurig's B50 Signature brewers.

Both offer the LCD messaging center, a first for Keurig, with a 48 oz water reservoir.

What did the B60 add?

A third brew size: 10 oz.

You may also see a few other B6x brewers from Keurig. What makes them different?

  • B60: Base model
  • B65: Base model + water filter starter kit
  • B66: Base model + water filter starter kit + silver-colored brewing lid

Ultimately, all of the B series brewers were discontinued and rebranded as K series brewers with the B60 becoming the K60.

Keurig discontinued the K60 several years back, and today they have moved to their newest line of brewers with the K-Classic the closest thing to the B60/K60.

Pros
  • No pod-scanning technology so brews both licensed and unlicensed K-Cup pods
  • Foolproof to use
  • LCD messaging center
  • Adds 10 oz brew size (compared to B50 brewers)
Cons
  • Discontinued model
  • 48 oz water reservoir is relatively small (average at best)
  • No Strength or Temp Control

Is the Keurig B60 for you?

Are Keurig B60 for you?

The Keurig B60 truly was a Special Edition brewer when it was first released in 2013.

Well, it isn't 2013 anymore. While you can still find B60 brewers on Amazon, eBay, or other online marketplaces, we recommend you go with Keurig's new-and-improved K-Classic.

How does the K-Classic compare?

  • Same 6, 8, and 10 oz brew sizes
  • Same 48 oz water reservoir
  • Same features (no Strength or Temp Controls)
  • No LCD messaging center, using LED indicator lights instead
  • Slightly narrower 9.8" width vs the B60's 10.1"

If it's basically the same thing, what makes the K-Classic new-and-improved?

Feature-wise, nothing. But it's built using brewing technology and parts that are 7 years younger. That means better performance, better reliability, and better (hotter) coffee.

Keurig K-Mini Plus

Keurig K-Mini Plus
Overall Rating: 86
Keurig's slimmest brewer, the K-Mini Plus is just like the K-Mini (4.5" wide and refill before each use) but adds several worthy upgrades. Most notably, a Strength Control setting and the 12 oz reservoir is removable.

Keurig My K-Cup Universal

Keurig My K-Cup Universal
Overall Rating: 92
The Keurig My K-Cup Universal is the brand-name option designed to fit all Keurig brewers. Unfortunately, you pay for the brand name as it's easily the most expensive reusable K-Cup but doesn't outperform other options.

Keurig Vue V1255

Keurig Vue V1255
Overall Rating: 83
The Vue V1200 and identical Vue V1255 were Keurig's revolutionary commercial brewers with the ability to brew specialty beverages and 18 oz coffees. Now discontinued, check out the K1500 for a similar commercial model.

I'm Bryan but most people know me as The Coffee Maven. I grew up outside Boston, Massachusetts and received my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from Providence College. My first introduction to coffee was during my college days, when I used it as a source of caffeine to fuel late-night study sessions, but soon I became obsessed with the chemistry of coffee. How did changes to water temperature or contact time affect its taste? Why do beans from Africa taste fruity while beans from Indonesia taste spicy? I launched The Coffee Maven in February 2017 to explore these questions and help others brew their perfect cup. Welcome to my site, and thanks for reading!
