Overview
The Keurig K75 Single-Cup Home-Brewing System with Water Filter Kit, Platinum is a step up from the Keurig B70 and features a few improvements on that model. Again, it is designed for households who want their coffee fast and where different household members like a different favored coffee or tea.
Also, customers will be pleased to discover that the K-cup filter comes with the K75 and don’t need to purchase it separately.
About the Keurig K75 Platinum Brewing System
Like the B70, the K75 comes with five different cup size selections and you can also choose the temperature of your beverage. The main difference lies in the quieter and more reliable performance of the machine as well as the inclusion of a water filter kit so that you can filter out any chemical tastes from your coffee.
The reservoir is also slightly larger however the attractive design is still present with the emphasis on blue in the LCD display and the water reservoir.

How it Works
You will need to follow the directions to prep the machine however this literally involves filling the reservoir and running a couple of hot water brews through the machine. Each time you fill the reservoir, it will take about four minutes to heat, however if you leave the machine on, subsequent brews will only take 15 seconds.
At its most simple, the brewing process involves inserting a K-cup or fresh grounds, selecting cup size and temperature and then pressing the ‘brew’ button. You can also pre-set the machine to start at a certain time so that you have fresh coffee when you wake up.
