It's that time of year, everyone! The Holiday shopping season is upon us! (At least it is if you're like me and get an early start to avoid the mad rush of frazzled, last-minute shoppers in December!) 

For the 2014 Holiday season, I will be featuring tons of great gift ideas for babies, kids, men, women, pets, and even for the person who has everything. We all have some of those on our gift lists, don't we? There will even be loads and loads of chances to win many of the gifts I am featuring. How cool is that?! You can check out my 2014 Holiday Gift Guide at any time from now till Christmas. Make sure to check often, as it will be growing by the day! 

Today, I want to talk about a product that's been getting a TON of buzz lately, and for good reason. The new Keurig 2.0 K550 Brewer is changing the way we drink coffee, one cup OR carafe at a time! (That's right! I did just say carafe!) It's everything you've grown to love about Keurig, but with a few extra perks. 

We received the Keurig 2.0 K550 Brewer to check out for ourselves. I have to admit, this is actually my very first Keurig experience. I had never used one before, but had always heard rave reviews from other bloggers, family, and friends. Everyone I know is absolutely in love with their Keurig brewers, and I was very eager to see what all the buzz was about. The timing couldn't be any better, either! 

You see, recently, I gave up soft drinks, and found that I definitely needed a little pick-me-up to start my day. No caffeine and 2 very active preschoolers don't go together, at least not for this tired mama! 

I was absolutely delighted to find that this brewer is super-simple to operate. The water reservoir, which just happens to be illuminated, holds a whopping 80 oz of water. (That's a LOT, folks!) 

This brewer also offers a 2.8 inch color touch display, programmable clock, an auto brew option and a strength control setting for brewing bolder coffee. There’s even a separate setting for hot cocoa and other specialty beverages like lattes and mochas. (I don't know about you, but I adore a good latte!) The K550 model also has a customizable night light in the water reservoir and offers hot water on demand. So many options to choose from — not at all like a typical coffee maker.

The Keurig 2.0 K550 Brewer is absolutely perfect for our household because it's very versatile. If you're feeling like a single cup, just choose your favorite K-Cup™ and you'll have a hot, steaming cup of coffee in mere seconds. If you are like me, one cup is never enough. Well, the Keurig 2.0 K550 has you covered there, too. In addition to brewing single cups, you can also enjoy a 4-cup carafe, which use Keurig's new K-Carafe™ packs. Pretty cool, right? 

Well, things are about to get even cooler. Or hotter. Depending on what kind of beverage you desire, of course. Keurig is all about choices! Anyway, the really neat thing about the K550 Brewer is the fact that it's super-smart. Thanks to the innovative Keurig 2.0 Brewing Technology™, this brewer can actually read the lids of your K-Cups and K-Carafes, ensuring the perfect brew each and every time. 

Overall, we are absolutely over the moon for our Keurig 2.0 K550 Brewer. This has been a total game-changer in our home. Rather than arguing with the hubby about which kind of coffee to make, we can both have exactly what we want, all with the simple touch of a button. Hot cocoa, a latte, or even a nice cup of tea. No matter what you're craving, Keurig 2.0 has you covered. Mornings have never been sweeter, if you ask me! 

So if you're looking for the perfect Holiday gift for the coffee lover in your life, definitely check out the new line of Keurig 2.0 Brewers. This versatile machine is sure to bring plenty of smiles this Holiday season, and beyond.
