About our Keurig brewers
What is the difference between your "At Home" and "At Work" brewer models? 
All Keurig brewers share the same innovative single-cup technology that ensures a fresh-brewed, perfect cup of coffee or tea every time. However, Keurig does market separate At Home and At Work brewers with features and UL certification appropriate for their intended use. Keurig's At Home brewers include the B40 Elite, Special Edition B60, and Platinum B70 brewer. These brewers were engineered for home use-and are UL Household approved only-and thus should not be used in commercial/office settings. In general, Keurig's Home Brewers are designed for typical home use, including features and aesthetics most appropriate to a kitchen environment. For more information and comparisons of Keurig's At Home Brewers please
click here.
Keurig's At Work brewers have been designed with the heavy use requirements of the typical office and include the following models: B145 and B3000SE. It is recommended for offices of less than 15 people. Keurig's full-featured B3000SE model includes direct line plumbing and automatic K-Cup ejection and storage-it is recommended for high volume offices of more than 30 people.
Many Keurig brewers offer multiple brew sizes. How do I use this feature to brew a cup of coffee or tea that best suits my taste? 
We understand that the perfect cup of coffee means something different to everyone. That is why we offer over 200 varieties of K-Cups and multiple brew sizes on the Special Edition B60 and Platinum B70 brewers. These choices give you the flexibility to find your perfect cup of coffee. Larger brew sizes do not provide as strong a cup of coffee as the smaller ones - so if you're looking for a stronger, more intense cup of coffee, we suggest you use a smaller size. You should also try our Extra Bold K-Cups. They contain approximately 30% more ground coffee in each K-Cup.
What are the dimensions of the brewers? 
The Elite B40, Special Edition B60, and Platinum B70 models are approximately 13" high, 10" wide, and 13.25" deep. When the handle is open the height is approximately 17 ". Each brewer weighs approximately 15 lbs when the water reservoir is filled.
How does the brewer work? 
How hot is the water in the brewer? 
Keurig has found that the optimal temperature for brewing coffee is 192º F. This is the internal temperature of the water in your brewer. However, once your coffee/tea is brewed, the dispensed temperature can vary greatly. In-cup temperature depends on the cup temperature and material. When brewing into an insulated container, such as a foam or paper cup, 180-185ºF in-cup temperature is typically attained. In addition, dispensing into a cold ceramic mug will cool the coffee significantly. Please note that stream temperature of the first brew after turn-on or after an extended idle period can be a couple degrees cooler. To maximize initial in-cup temperature at home, we recommend running a 6 oz cleansing brew prior to brewing a K-Cup, which warms both the mug and the brewer. Keurig does test all brewers prior to shipment. To test the temperature of the coffee/tea dispensed, they utilize electronic peak reading temperature meters, which are much faster responding and more accurate that thermometers typically available in the home.
How do I get service for my brewer? 
Please contact Keurig's Customer Service Team at 1-888-287-2739 (CUP BREW) to make service arrangements.
What kind of maintenance is required for the brewer? 
Regular cleaning (de-scaling) will prolong the life of the appliance. Scale is harmless, but left unattended, it can hinder optimal Brewer performance. De-scaling your Keurig Brewer regularly helps maintain the heating element, water reservoir and other parts of the Keurig Brewer that come in contact with water. Better water quality and water heating means a better cup of coffee. We recommend de-scaling your Keurig Brewer at least every 6 months (every three months if you are using hard water). The de-scaling process involves using
Dezcal Brewer Descaler or 48 ounces of undiluted white vinegar.
Click here to see de-scaling instructions by brewer.
How often should I clean and 'de-scale' the brewer? 
Regular cleaning of the Keurig K-Cup Brewer's external components is recommended for proper operation. We recommend cleaning with a soapy, damp non-abrasive cloth. The K-Cup holder and funnel, drip plate, drip tray and removable water reservoir (on the Elite B40, Special Edition B60, and Platinum B70) are dishwasher safe. NOTE: the removable lid of the water reservoir is NOT dishwasher safe. The brewer should be de-scaled every 3-6 months. Use
Dezcal Brewer Descaler or a undiluted white vinegar to descale the inside of your brewer.
Click here for Elite B40, Special Edition B60, and Platinum B70 de-scaling instructions (same for all 4 models).
What is the price of the Keurig system? 
Depending on your office's specific situation, the B3000SE is often loaned, rented, or leased for a reasonable monthly fee. Our B145 and B200 brewers are sold or leased to offices. To obtain a firm pricing quote, we recommend a
Free 3 day trial of the Keurig system in your office. This will help us gauge your coffee usage so we can provide an accurate price quote. For a Free Keurig Trial in your office,

What are the electrical requirements for Keurig in the office?

Are your coffees and teas kosher certified? 
Yes. All coffee and tea K-Cups and hot cocoa packets are Kosher certified Pareve. The only exception is Green Mountain hot cocoa K-Cups, which are certified Kosher-Dairy. Once Green Mountain hot cocoa K-Cups are brewed in a Keurig brewer the brewer converts from Kosher Pareve to Kosher-Dairy and any subsequent K-Cups brewed in this brewer would be classified Kosher-Dairy Replacing the K-Cup holder will not make it Kosher Pareve. If you want your Keurig brewer to remain Kosher Pareve vs. Kosher-Dairy, you'll need a second Keurig Brewer for brewing Hot Cocoa K-Cups. For specific copies of the certification, we encourage you to contact the specific roasting partner directly.
Does the Keurig brewer make hot chocolate? 
Yes, you can make gourmet Hot Cocoa with your Keurig brewer! Perk At Work is proud to partner with the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company to provide Perk At Work customers with an "out of this world" premium cocoa experience! Ghirardelli has developed a packet specially formulated for Keurig brewers. You merely add the contents of the packet to your cup or mug, and then add 8 ounces of hot water from your Keurig brewer, stir with a spoon, and enjoy!

Are K-Cups® recyclable? 
The challenge of protecting the freshness of roasted coffee while using environmentally friendly packaging is one that both Keurig®, Perk At Work and the coffee industry are committed to overcoming. We are very sensitive about the waste created by the K-Cups, and are investigating alternative materials. Finding a solution for this is a priority for us, and one we hope to have before long. For now, help us in recycling your used K-Cups with your local recycling center.
What does the "Best Used By" date mean? 
The Best-Used-by-Date is a guideline for optimal freshness recommended by the roaster. It is not an expiration date. The K-Cups are nitrogen-flushed, sealed for freshness, and impermeable to oxygen, moisture and light.
What if I get a k-cup and there is no name printed on the lid? 
Sometime the roasters do not label the tops of the cups. Please check the side of the cup on the plastic part. The name of the coffee is always embossed on the cup itself.
