is reaching into your fridge for the next soda too much of a hassle well Keurig thinks it has the answer this is the Keurig Kold machine and it takes pods adds tap water and creates soft drinks right into your glass made fresh but without the hassle of a co2 cartridge now I have to warn you the pods are not quite as easy to use as the regular k-cup pods for instance you have to pull off a safety seal which is a little foil cover that covers the bottom of the pod if you don't do that with a soft ring pod essentially you're gonna waste the pod and that can be a very expensive mistake especially if you do it a lot it's really big it weighs over 25 pounds not including the water and it's just very hard to find a spot on your kitchen counter for this thing don't expect it to be exactly the same as far as taste and carbonation is concerned to the brands and sufferings that you like to buy at the store we did a blind taste test in the office and everyone can tell the difference between what was made from a pod and what came out of a can or a bottle that wood bought in the stores making a Keurig Kold saw Frank also takes a little longer than you might expect especially if you're used to making cake cups compared to a k-cup which takes about 30 seconds this takes about 90 seconds which might be a little longer than you want to wait Keurig Kold may be worth your while if you're nowhere near a fridge and you're in your office or a cubicle or someplace where you don't have access to a refrigerator but for most of us you can just use a fridge a mini-fridge or whatever and stock it with your favorite soft drink of choice and that makes a lot more sense be sure to read the full review at cnet.com I'm Brian Bennett for CNET appliances
