Keurig has introduced a new machine, the K-Brew + Chill It seems that all the best coffee makers now have a cold brew setting, from the latest Ninja models to high-end models like DeLonghi According to the World Coffee Portal, 37% of people under 35 drink iced coffee daily, and after testing dozens of different coffeemakers over the years, I am one of those 37%

But when it comes to brewing iced coffee at home, the market has some catching up to do The standard morning iced coffee is freshly brewed, hot espresso poured over ice However, melting the ice can ruin the taste of the coffee The all-new Keurig machine, featuring something called QuickChill technology, promises to solve all of this

The $99 Keurig K-Brew + Chill, available today for a $100 discount if you get the starter bundle, brews the coffee, chills it, and then pours it Keurig says the coffee is brewed at less than 60°F, and best of all, it delivers a refreshing caffeine hit in less than three minutes

If I have one complaint about modern iced coffee makers, it's that they don't really chill the coffee Instead, no matter what the temperature of the water in the reservoir, it is lukewarm at best, and I have to add quite a few ice cubes to get it to the refreshing temperature I'm looking for

That's why the QuickChill technology in the Keurig K-Brew + Chill excites me After the coffee is brewed, it is allowed to cool to a temperature below 60°F before pouring into a cup This means that there are fewer melted ice cubes left behind and the drink is less likely to be diluted

This should also mean great things for the taste of the extracted coffee: the K-Brew + Chill promises a richer, more robust flavor thanks to its multi-stream technology, which uses five needles instead of one to puncture the K-cup This is inspired by the best espresso machines, which always produce the best extraction when each coffee bean is saturated

We'll be testing this coffee maker as soon as we can get our hands on it, but until then, we can pick up a few tips on how its smart technology works

The QuickChill technology appears to use a cold container that cools the coffee immediately after extraction During the initial setup of the machine, this container must be filled with water, which is then chilled by the machine A cold-charging bar attached to the machine indicates whether the chill tank is ready to extract cold coffee

It is nice to have a removable reservoir that holds up to 70 oz This has a handle and is located on the front of the machine for easy refilling Various sizes of coffee can be brewed: 6, 8, 10, or 12 ounce cups, although K-Cafe, K-Mug, Vue, or Rivo pods will not work in this machine, you can use any Keurig K-Cup pod

One thing you might miss is the milk steamer, located at the current Keurig #1, K-Cafe
