Keurig Vue V700 vs. Keurig B70 Comparison
Keurig released a new line of single cup coffee makers and packages called the Vue system. So, you no longer deal with K Cups but you deal with Vue Cups or V-Cups. The promise is that the Keurig Vue system allows you to make better coffee and include specialty coffee like cappuccinos and lattes. The K Cup system only allows to make plain coffee or other beverages like tea and hot chocolate.
Cost Involved
There’s also a price difference both on the single cup coffee brewer as well as the Vue Cups vs. the K-Cups. Generally the K Cup based single serve coffee makers are cheaper. The K Cups themselves are also cheaper. However, that comes with a price. If you use the Vue Cups you have an endless possibility to personalize your beverage. You can adjust the temperature of the water, select brewing sizes that range up to 18 oz., have the Vue V700 brew coffee stronger than usual, and so on and so on.

Impact on the Environment
Another important aspect in today’s world is that the Vue Cups are partially recyclable. The main plastic container can be recycled in most communities and thus you can enjoy your cup of coffee in a ‘greener’ way. However, there’s one thing to consider. When you use the Keurig My K-Cup then you actually don’t have anything to throw away but the used coffee grinds. So far, there is no reusable coffee filter for the Keurig Vue system. We would expect some to show up in the market over the next few months though.
Variety of K-Cups vs. V-Cups
A final point is that the selection of K Cups is currently much much larger than the offered varieties of Vue Cups. Now, this will change but if you currently can’t get your preferred beverage in a Vue Cup then it also won’t make any sense to purchase a Keurig Vue V700 at this time.
Conclusion
Our suggestion would be to wait before you buy a new Keurig Vue system until there’s a wider variety of beverages available. The prices eventually will come down when more brewers are introduced and move flavors are available. Having said that, if you need a new single cup coffee maker today and you want to decide between the traditional Keurig K-Cups vs. the Keurig Vue system and you get your preferred beverage in a Vue cup then we would recommend you get a Vue based brewer.
In the end, you can’t really go wrong with any of these choices. Check out our single cup coffee maker reviews to help you find the best one cup coffee brewer for your kitchen!
