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, B50 Ultra, 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: B140 and B2003. It is recommended for offices of less than 15 people. Keurig's full-featured B2003 model includes direct line plumbing and automatic K-Cup ejection and storage-it is recommended for high volume offices of more than 30 people.
Please note: WE WILL NOT TO SELL Keurig brewers, coffees, tea or chai products directly to commercial/office customers. WE WILL sell the B140, B200 or B2003 brewers direct to home-use customers. Commercial & office services are available from Keurig's Authorized Distributor network. For more information on our At Work brewers please
click here.
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 130 varieties of K-Cups and multiple brew sizes on the Ultra B50, 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, Ultra B50, 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 1-866-901-BREW (2739) 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 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, Ultra B50, 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.

Will you be offering other coffees, teas and chai?

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! Big Cat is proud to partner with the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company to provide Big Cat 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®, Big Cat Coffee 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.

Purr-fect Pack TM
How do I build my own Purr-fect Pack variety box? 
It's super-easy to mix and match your favorite K-Cup coffee and tea varieties:
1. Find a coffee or tea flavor that you want to add to your Purr-fect Pack.
2. Set your "Packaging" Option from the pull-down tab to "5-count Purr-fect Pack"
3. Select your "Quantity". Selecting "1" adds 5 K-cups of that flavor to your cart.
4. Click the "Add to Cart" button
When you've selected a full box of 25 K-cups, you can go to your Shopping Cart and click the "Checkout" button. It's that easy!

Can I add coffees and teas to my Purr-fect Pack? 
Yes. You can mix and match any of our K-Cup coffee and teas to your Purr-fect Pack. Only products with the "5-count Purr-fect Pack" option can be included in your Purr-fect Pack.

Commercial & Office Customers
Why don't you sell coffee and Keurig brewers direct to businesses? 
The main reason is that offices and commercial establishments have different needs than at-home consumer. High volume/user use, water conditions and improper brewer care can drastically reduce the life of an office brewer. Our commercial services warrantee any and all of these issues should they occur. We also offer special services to office customers, which we do not allow our at-home consumer customers like:
Free Brewers
Free coffee, tea and supply delivery
Same-day emergency repairs and delivery
Credit terms
Yearly maintenance and upgrades of all brewers
Installation and plumbing support and more...
Another reason is that we are one of many licensed Keurig resellers throughout the United States who service offices. It just wouldn't be fair to sell discounted coffee, tea or chai K-Cups to a business that is currently being serviced by another Keurig dealer for their equipment. We like to keep the playing field fair. And we believe this is the best way to do so.
If you have a need for office coffee services please call 1-866-242-4832 or visit us at
www.AuthenticTrends.com.
Note: Big Cat Coffee CAN NOT SELL Keurig brewers, coffees, tea or chai products directly to commercial/office customers through this site. WE WILL sell all the products on our site to home-use customers. Commercial & office service are available from Keurig's Authorized Distributor network throughout the United States.
