Keurig K500 promises tastier coffee, big carafe brewing, and more control (hands-on)

If you're addicted to the taste of hand-crafted coffee but don't like waiting forever for it and can do without excess mess, Keurig is convinced it has the solution you crave. Its new single-serve coffee maker system, called Keurig 2.0, promises gourmet java brewing blended with a jolt of 21st-century technology.
Single-cup coffee brewers are nothing new, but Keurig's latest creation is designed to offer more flexibility and control than its previous generation of devices. Specifically, you'll be able to select the strength of your beverage as well as the amount you'd like to enjoy. For example, you can whip up serving sizes ranging from just 2 ounces all the way up to 30-ounce carafes.

I was able to give one of Keurig's new machines, the K500, a whirl at the company's swank press event in New York. Keurig executives explained that the K500, equipped with a large backlit LCD screen, provides better temperature performance than its current K-cup brewers. Additionally, to make a stronger (or milder) cup of Joe, the appliance tweaks factors such as brewing time, temperature, and water volume.
