The B150 and B155 commercial series brewers, provide offices the ability to deliver gourmet coffee with interactive touch screen interface with step-by-step instructions in English, French, or Spanish.

The B155 is available through a Keurig Authorized Distributor, or online for $249.95 and also includes a variety pack of 12 count K-Cup portion packs.
All Keurig brewers use Keurig’s patented K-Cup portion packs. The company said that K-Cups are 'mini-brew chambers' that eliminate the hassle of grinding beans, measuring coffee, handling filters and messy clean-up while brewing a gourmet cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa in less than one minute.
Dave Manly, general manager of away from home division for Keurig, said: "We designed the new B150 and B155 brewers specifically with small to medium-sized businesses and home offices in mind.
