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 B79 is part of Keurig's B70 Platinum series, but it's actually a subset of that series called the Platinum PLUS. Here's what I mean:
All five of the Platinum series brewers are the exact same machine. The model numbers just differentiate between included accessories and brewer colors.
Here's how the Platinum and Platinum Plus series compare to B60 Special Edition brewers:
When Keurig transitioned to their K series brewers, they rebranded their B70 brewers as K70 brewers and kept everything the same. That means the rebranded B79 is the K79.
Well, almost the same. K70-K79 brewers have a fifth brew size: 12 oz.
Today, all of the B70/K70 series brewers have been discontinued.
In the Buyer's Guide section below, we'll offer a pair of alternatives so you can enjoy the many awesome features of the Platinum and Platinum Plus brewers with Keurig's latest and greatest brewing tech.
