Keurig machines are a great way to quickly brew coffee but coffee isn’t the only thing these gadgets can do. In addition to coffee you can also buy K-Cups filled with tea fruit juice or even soup mixes. But you don’t have to stop there. Because it takes less time to heat water with a Keurig than it does to boil it on the stovetop or in an electric kettle a Keurig is also a great way to get hot water quickly. Some Keurig models have a dispenser specifically for hot water but if yours doesn’t all you have to do is add water lift the top as you would when inserting a K-Cup close it and let the machine run. In a minute or so you’ll have water that’s not quite boiling but still very hot. This opens up a whole host of possibilities from hot drinks to instant meals.

10 Things You Didn't Know Your Microwave Could Do!
With this knowledge you can transform your Keurig from a one-note coffee maker to a cooking wonder. Here are 12 different things you can make with a Keurig. (And before we get started remember that you can save money—and help the environment—by buying reusable K-Cups.)
When you think of a Keurig it’s easy to get hung up on coffee. But what about that other beloved hot beverage tea? Whether you’re battling a cold or just love a good cup of tea your Keurig can be used to brew hot tea in three ways. First there are nearly 40 different types of tea K-Cups. Simply pop one into your machine and use it as you would a coffee pod.
You can also brew tea with your Keurig by placing loose leaf tea in a reusable K-Cup. Not only is this an eco-friendly solution but it also gives you complete control over your tea as you can fill the cup with your favorite brand and blend. The third option is similar: place a tea bag or strainer filled with loose leaf tea in a mug then run your Keurig without the K-Cup. Your mug will fill with hot water much faster than if you wait for an electric kettle.
