This Keurig coffee maker is one of the most feature-packed of the home brewing machines, complete with large water reservoir and LCD control panel.
All Keurig machines are "single serve brewers" which means you don't brew up a whole pot of coffee at once. The machine heats up very quickly and forces lightly pressurized water through a pre-packed "pod" of coffee so that you can make a fresh cup of coffee in about a minute.
For Keurig brand brewers, the pods are called Keurig K-Cups and you can get many types of coffee, tea and even hot chocolate for your brewing pleasure. So you won't likely find yourself too limited having to use pods instead of loose ground coffee.
The Keurig B70 Platinum comes in platinum grey, cinnamon red and black. The water reservoir is 60oz in size so you can make several cups of coffee before you need to refill. Of course, that will depend on large of a cup you are brewing each time. You can adjust the controls for 5 volumes: 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12oz. The smaller volumes work best when making an espresso, whereas the others are for typical cups of coffee or tea.
And the controls for these volumes as well as water temperature and the digital clock are part of the LCD controls. It is very easy to manage your brewing even if you are new to the whole single-serve coffee world. ;
If you are brewing your coffee into a tall cup or a travel mug, you can remove the drip tray for a little extra space. Very tall mugs may not fit though. And speaking of size, the machine itself is 13" high x 10.3" wide x 13.8" deep so it should fit in most kitchen areas without a problem.

Because it has a powerful heating unit, there is an auto shut-off feature that will turn the machine off after a minute or so of non-use.
This machine is great for any typical coffee-drinking household as it has the water capacity for several cups, and the added control features to accommodate several different people using it. You can also use the Keurig B70 in a small office setting where 2 or 3 people will be making coffee through the day.
Platinum brewers are packed with a bonus 12-pack of Keurig K-Cups so you can try a few varieties of coffee right away before going out and having to buy more.
