Continued from How To Brew Japanese Green Tea in a Keurig Machine – Part 1
JAPANESE GREEN TEA LOVERS HAVE A BREWING OPTION FROM KEURIG
While we’re talking about Keurig brewing, I thought I would give a quick review on one of the most popular Keurig small pod products you can find on Amazon. The Keurig product is the “Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker K-Cup Pod”.
The Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker K-Cup Pod has been crafted to exhibit some very good features that are relevant to green tea lovers. Although there are many small pod brewers on the market, the one I am featuring happens to have been given the BestReviews (found on Amazon site) editorial recommendation as “Best of the Best” in the category of best pod coffee maker overall.
A helpful review on this product reveals the following highlights.
- It has 3 brew cycle sizes: 6-ounce, 8-ounce, and 10-ounce.
- It has a 48-ounce water reservoir.
- It has a removable water reservoir for ease of replenishing.
- It has easy button controls.
- It has a quick brew cycle of less than one minute.
- It has a descaling option to keep calcium deposits from building up with video how-to’s.
- It has an optional programmable safety shut-off after 2 hours.
