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 Elite, Special Edition, Platinum brewer, and the OfficePRO Premier. 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 on 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, B150, B150P, B200 and B3000SE. There is a Keurig Commercial brewer to suit the needs of offices of less than 15 people to offices of more than 30 people.
Please note: We will sell Keurig brewers, coffees, tea or chai products directly to commercial/office customers. We WILL NOT sell the OfficePRO B145, B150, B150P, B200 or B3000SE 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 140 varieties of K-Cup packs and multiple brew sizes on the Elite, Special Edition, Platinum, and OfficePRO Premier 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 brew size. You should also try our Extra Bold K-Cup packs. They contain approximately 30% more ground coffee in each K-Cup pack.
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 pack, 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 our Customer ServiceTeam at 1-877-528-7244 to make service arrangements.
What kind of maintenance is required for the brewer?

Regularly cleaning your Keurig Brewer (de-scaling) will prolong the life. Although scale is harmless, left unattended, it can hinder optimal Brewer performance. De-scaling 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 Brewer's external components is recommended for proper operation. We recommend cleaning with a soapy, damp non-abrasive cloth. The K-Cup pack holder and funnel, drip plate, drip tray and removable water reservoir (on the Elite, Special Edition, Platinum, and the OfficePRO Premier) 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, Special Edition, Platinum, and the OfficePRO Premier de-scaling instructions (same for all models).
What are the dimensions of the Keurig At Home brewers?

The Elite, Special Edition, and Platinum models are approximately 13" high, 10" wide, and 13.25" deep. The height increases to approximately 17" when open.
The Office Pro Premier is approximately 14.25” high, 10.5” wide, and 14.25” deep. The height increases to approximately 16.25” when open. If the brewer is set up as a plumbed unit the depth increases to 17.25” due to the filter and fittings, if the filter is not mounted to the back of the brewer the depth is 16.25”.
About our coffee, tea and chai products
Will you be offering other coffees, teas and chai? 
We are always looking to improve our K-cup packs and product selection. Visit our New Arrivals category for any new products we have added to the website. We also love to hear feedback from our customers; tell us what you like! Click here to make a suggestion!
Are your coffees and teas kosher certified? 
Most K-Cup packs are Kosher Certified Pareve. The only exceptions are hot cocoa K-Cup packs, which are certified Kosher-Dairy. When a hot cocoa K-Cup pack is brewed in a Keurig brewer, the brewer converts from Kosher Pareve to Kosher-Dairy and any subsequent K-Cup packs brewed in this brewer would be classified Kosher-Dairy. If you want your Keurig brewer to remain Kosher Pareve, you'll need a second Keurig brewer for brewing hot cocoa K-Cup packs. Using a second K-Cup pack holder will not keep the brewer Kosher Pareve.
Below are the specific organizations that pertain to our K-Cup packs brands.
The abbreviations below found in "quotations" are the symbols we use to represent a Kosher product. These symbols can be found on the K-Cup pack box and on the lid of the K-Cup packs.

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! Click here for more information about Ghirardelli hot cocoa!
Are K-Cups packs recyclable? 
The challenge of protecting the freshness of roasted coffee while using environmentally friendly packaging is one that both Keurig®, Big Cat Coffees, Perk at Work and the coffee industry are committed to overcoming. We are very sensitive about the waste created by the K-Cup packs, 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-Cup packs 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.
Why are the specialty products only available on Perk at Work and not Big Cat Coffees? 
Due to contractual agreement with Keurig and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, we are only allowed to have the specialty items available on our commercial website, www.perkatwork.com. Please feel free to contact us directly at info@bigcatcoffees.com if you have any additional questions or inquiries about these specialty products!
Commercial & Office Customers
Why can’t I purchase commercial brewers on the Big Cat Coffees website?

The main reason is that offices and commercial establishments have different needs than an at home consumer. High volume use, water conditions and improper brewer care can drastically reduce the life of a home brewer.

-Commercial Equipment rental with no contract or commitment
-Brewers are commercial grade and include UL certification
-Emergency repairs and delivery within 24 hours
-Invoice option (30 day billing terms) with approved credit application
