Will the Keurig Vue Single Cup Brewing System fit a Travel Mug?

Why yes - in fact the Vue Brewer will fit a travel mug. The drip tray can be pulled forward to make room for a large sized travel mug in the Keurig Vue Brewer. You can also brew full strength in a travel mug with Vue packs specially formulated to brew a bigger cup with the strength you would want in a large travel mug.

How are Keurig VUE Packs AKA V-Cups Different than K-Cups?

The Keurig Vue Brewer works only with the patented Vue packs or V-Cups. Each portion pack contains exactly the right amount of coffee, tea or other beverage. Also the Vue packs can only be used with Vue Brewers. They are not interchangeable with K-Cup Brewers and K-Cup packs.

We expected this to be the case when Keurig announced the new VUE Brewer, and to solve all the problems of different beverages, recycled K-Cups, and brew strength a new brew system was invented. One of the big innovations we're most excited to try is the latte or cappuccino drinks that come with a coffee and a milk portion vue pack.

Keurig VUE Brewer V700 and V-Cups Announced

Keurig has officially announced the new Keurig VUE Brewing System and V-Cups. The Vue system supports stronger bolder coffee, and the V-Cups are able to be recycled unlike the older K-Cup format. As of today there are over 33 V-Cups available for the VUE brewer which retails at $249. Also, the Keurig Vue can brew "frothy" drinks including Barista Prima Coffeehouse CafÃ© Mochas, Barista Prima Coffeehouse Sweetened Cappuccinos, and Barista Prima Coffeehouse Vanilla Lattes. It appears there will be both a milk V-Cup and a coffee V-Cup to make such milk based coffee drinks possible.

Keurig VUE Brewer V700 [Was B80V] and V-Cups Rumor Round-Up

Is this the Keurig Vue Brewer? We're not sure but you may like this web comic from Scott Kurtz called The Trenches.

We've been getting lots of reader send ins of information regarding the rumored Keurig Vue and new V-Cup format for the new VUE brewer. Over at New Keurig "Vue" brewer [B80V] in the Single Serve Coffee there's much discussion regarding the VUE brewer, and whether or not it's going to use an RFID reader for anything, and what this new keurig VUE brewer and V-Cup format could be.

Here's what we know so far, and all of this is just wild speculation until tomorrow February 15th when Keurig may or may not reveal the VUE brewer and V-Cup format at their event in New York.

$5000 Coffee Table Creates Zen Garden Sand Designs

Here's a coffee table we never would have imagined could exist 10 years ago. The body of the table encapsulates electronics and robotics, that sculpt geometric patterns and images into a field of microscopic silicone beads beneath a glass top. The effect is mesmerizing and magical; it is truly Zen-like to watch ever-changing patterns and images appear in the sand.

Total price for a coffee table table sponsorship is at $5000, and you can get other smaller versions as well. We'll have to wait and see how well this Kickstarter project turns out before plopping down 5k.

Constructed from organically grown FSC certified renewable bamboo, which is available in several different styles The glass top is extremely strong tempered glass, 5/16" thick, as is similar to the high-strength glass used in store windows Comes with an SD card containing programs for sculpting patterns into the sand A dimmer switch controls the brightness of the built-in lighting An optional 3G modem can be built into your table to receive new programs for sculpting via the cellphone network, along with a service plan subscription that will push new designs to the table as they are created Control the table from your smartphone. With the 3G modem option installed, you can download the iPhone/Android app which we are currently developing and play a compendium of classic games, or send commands via text message to your tables dedicated phone number Connect a USB cable to your table, if desired, to send commands directly to the table from your computer, rather than programs being automatically loaded in sequence from the SD card

Single Serve Coffee On the Rise in the US and Europe

The Business Standard has a very exhaustive article Single-cup coffee sales seen growing and we've taken a bunch of the best bits out of it on the topic of single serve coffee growth.

Sara Lee will discontinue Senseo in North America as of March 31, except on select websites. It is working to make the machine more appealing, especially for young people, to tap growth overseas. Wal-Mart Stores Inc will add the Esio Beverage System to its lineup of coffee machines. Green Mountain, which controls more than three-quarters of the US market, ranks fourth globally with less than eight per cent. Green Mountain is bound to maintain its grip on the United States, since its machines exclusively carry many of the nationâ€™s biggest coffee brands, including Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and Folgers. The vast majority of US households still use traditional ground or instant coffee, and about 36 per cent of people who do not use single-cup brewers said these machines were too expensive. Worldwide sales of coffee, including fresh and instant, reached $70.86 billion last year, according to Euromonitor, a rise of 17.5 per cent. Sales of single-serve packets accounted for $5.75 billion of that, or 8 per cent, but saw a jump of 31.3 per cent.

So single serve coffee as a category is only at 8% of the total coffee market and growing? Wow - we've come a long way and have a long way to go. It's also interesting to note the Esio Beverage System going to be featured at Walmart. Walmart and other retailers seem to feel that even though K-Cups have taken 75% of the US single serve coffee market there is room for more players.

Keurig RFID-Enabled V-Cup Coffee Brewer at FCC

We've been patiently following the entire RFID K-Cup/V-Cup brewer story at Single Serve Coffee Forums, and comments on earlier posts here at Single Serve Coffee. According to an FCC filing Keurig plans to release an RFID-enabled coffee brewer with the FCC ID YMSKAEFUHRVI1G200. This reveals vey little about the brewer itself, and we're unsure if this brewer(s) would be for consumer or business use.

Canadian Grocery Chains Enter Knock-off K-Cup Scene

We received news from our Canadian Correspondent, SH, that Canadian grocery chains have started to imitate a practice which recently popped-up this side of the border: knock-off imitation K-Cups. Weâ€™ve seen our fair share of good knock-offs (Rogers Family Company) to the downright awful (Grove Square), so letâ€™s see what SH thought of the first Canadian Knock-off K-Cup to hit store shelves up North.

From SH: I was recently at my local Sobeys (major Canadian grocery chain store) last month and noticed they had come out with their own brand of knock-off K-Cups via their in-house "Our Compliments" brand. There were a total of 3 flavors: Light Roast, Medium Roast & Dark Roast (yes, those are the flavor "names"). Each are sold in 12-packs for $6.99 CAD and are a few dollars cheaper than the usual price of $8.49 for Folgers K-Cups or $8.99 for Van Houtte K-Cups. I snapped a quick pic from my cell phone & decided to try the dark roast.
