I think we have established the fact that I love my morning coffee and that for me to “function” in the morning I have to have my one and only cup of coffee of the day…Now I have mentioned before that I am the only one at home that drinks coffee, but the reality is that once in a blue moon, I might want to share an afternoon coffee with a friend, or I might have my mom spending some time here for which a bigger coffee maker is nice.
Touch Brewers
Totally new to me, Touch Beverages offer a variety of single serve brewers that are very attractive in design and functionality.
For this review, I was sent the Touch T526S BREWER.
Touch T526S BREWER
The T526S is a very elegant, modern looking unit featuring a very fast , extremely user friendly brewer that unlike any other single serve brewer I have seen before, allows you to brew 7 Cup Sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 oz. and Carafe(up to 4 cups of coffee).
Better yet, the Touch T526S Brews a cup of coffee or a family size carafe with your own favorite coffee thanks to the refill jumbo cup that is included with the unit!
Like the K-Cup flavors? No problem. The Touch T526S is compatible with K-Cup portion pack and if you prefer a stronger, bolder coffee, the Touch’s XBold and Xlarge cups allows you to brew a bigger and bolder coffee, so no matter what your coffee preference is, the Touch has got you covered.
The perfect cup of coffee every time
While most cups fit up to 12.5 grams of coffee, Touch Beverages has their own signature cups with more coffee than the average pod. The Touch signature coffee pods L.A. Coffee which is inspired by iconic landmarks in the city of Los Angeles, is made with 100% Arabica beans and it is available in three different roasts:
Beverly Hills-House Blend
Pacific Sunrise-Breakfast Blend
Sunset Strip-French Roast
Touch’s re-engineered XBOLD CUP capsule allows up to 30% more coffee per capsule than most. While most capsules fit up to 12.5 grams, the XBOLD CUP, can fit up to 15 grams of coffee,and the XLARGE CUPS, provides up to 18 grams of coffee for a stronger and bolder cup of Joe! That means no more watered down taste and a truly good cup of coffee.
The XBOLD CUP, also features Touch’s patent- pending Flavor Grooves which swirl coffee grinds during the brewing process to release bold aromas and flavors and extract every drop of delicious coffee to deliver a perfect cup of coffee every time. I personally love all three roasts and have become a big fan of the brand.
One thing I really like about this unit (besides what I mentioned above), is how fast it is. I keep the water reservoir filled with water, so in the morning, all I need to do is turn on the unit (big button on top), pull down the latch and place my coffee of choice inside the unit, coffee is ready in just a few second… It takes about 20 seconds to warm up and your coffee is ready within a few seconds after that which is awesome when you are trying to rush out of the house in the mornings. Even though the coffee is ready so fast, the coffee comes out nice and hot…I like my coffee to be hot!
The removable water tank located at the back can hold about 90oz of water which takes me through about 4 days since I only take one cup of coffee in the mornings.
According to Touch, the T526S is more energy efficient than other brewers as it saves about 30% of energy when compared with other brewers.
The design is another plus for me. I love the way this brewer looks and actually adds a nice feature point to my counter top. I have recently installed a backsplash and the contrast between the brewer and the backsplash looks amazing!
Cons?
I can’t think of any, except for the fact that the unit cannot accommodate a standard travel mug, so I have to brew my coffee in a regular mug or cup and then pour it in to a travel mug.
Deal breaker? Absolutely not, but it would be nice to just brew the coffee into a travel mug, grab and go.
The Touch T526S is available at selected retailers including Costco, Amazon and Home Depot and has retail price of $249.99.

Another product from Touch Beverages that I’d love to try is the Touch Brewer 314B Residential Coffee Maker. Although, honestly, I didn’t see anything that I didn’t want to try! I am pretty impressed with the speed of this. Less than 1 minute from cold water to fresh, brewed coffee! This is what I need in the morning. I sure am a coffee person, and that’s how I start my day. (PS I am also very impressed by the versatility of this, and the different cup sizes you can select).
Oops, I left out a letter in the model number of the other product. It’s the T314B I meant to write. Sorry!
I’d like to try the T214B as I have a habit of making coffee in my bathroom so I like a smaller size. I am definitely a coffee person – from the first try during college (1988) and every single day since! I wouldn’t know how to leave my house without it! Thanks for the AWESOME giveaway!
Yes, I’m a coffee person. I had to get up every day around 4 in the morning and without coffee I don’t know how I could make through the day.I also like T314B Brewer-quickly brews a cup of coffee in about 1 minute. What else a not -morning person can dream about.
I would like to try the T314B brewer. I like that you have your choice of brew strength on it. I also like that it does various cup sizes but has a 90 oz tank. I also love that it takes common sold k cups, not specialy ones.
What a beautiful machine. I really love the design and how sleek it is. I would also love to try the T314B Brewer! I am definitely an avid coffee drinker and after my hot lemon water in the AM , my next step is a cup of coffee or two! It’s an essential step for my productivity during the day. Happy Friday!
I would also really love to have the carafe. I think it would be a nice addition to having this brewer. I love using pods for a quick cup of coffee!
I’m intrigued by these brewers and would like to try the T526B brewer just for the carafe. I am a coffee and tea drinker and my children make their hot chocolate with our current brewer. Very nice that the current k-cups are compatible and the reservoir is big so no constant refilling.
I am definitely a coffee person. I don’t think about or do anything else until I get my coffee. I wish my husband could somehow remember that lol. The speed of this brewer would actually help my marriage by getting coffee in me sooner! I really like the brewer you reviewed but if I were to try a different one, I’d go for the T414S.
Love coffee and start the day off with a full pot. Sometimes we would each like just one more cup when the pot is gone. This would be perfect for that. At TOUCH, I also like The Commercial Brewer. This would be awesome to have at home.
The T314B Brewer is pretty nice, too. It has an extra large water tank. My Mom is the big coffee nut in our house. She can’t start her day without her coffee, lol!
I visited the site. I like the T714C Brewer because it is a commercial brewer and we drink a lot of coffee in my house. I usually start my day with coffee, dark roast with cream, or made into a latte.
I think they all look the same but with different features probably. I like the T214B Brewer.
Another product from Touch Beverages that I’d love to try is the T214B Brewer. I like that it’s all black. It looks sleek and chic!
I must start my day with coffee. I like spenda and flavored creamer. I use a french press now and need a touch brewer BAD!
I’d like theT414S BREWER. I drink coffee in the morning. Yes, I am a coffee person. I love creamer in it.
I would also love to try the T314B BREWER. I like to vary my coffee strength so this one would be a great choice. I am definitely a coffee person with a cup of coffee my go to first thing in the morning. My afternoon coffee has a treat of milk in it.
I’d like theT414S BREWER. my family drink tons of coffee.. this would be an awesome win!!
I would love to try the T414S BREWER. I like the different size cups it makes. The water tank size is really nice too!
I like the T526B Brewer System. It touches all the bases for me. Yes, I am definitely a coffee drinker. I start the day with coffee.
I would like to also try the T414S model but I like them all really. For myself it depends on the day sometimes I feel like drinking coffee or tea other days but I drink both of them equally. I usually start my day with tea or coffee and cookies or if I have the time I’ll make myself some oatmeal.
Hi, I start my day with coffee or hot tea. This T526 brewer sounds like the perfect brew with just the right amount of coffee, consumes a lot less energy cost, thus helping me save on my electric bill. 🙂
I’m a coffee fanatic! I start my day with a cup of coffee and a bagel with cream cheese. I also would like the Touch T714C Brewer.
My morning coffee ritual is like a religious experience for me. I like to drink my coffee black so it has to be excellent. I like the T214B Brewer it would look so sleek on my counter. Thanks for the chance.
I am most definitely a coffee person. I need 2 cups in the morning. I actually get up half an hour before I have to so I can have my coffee in the peace before anyone else gets up.
I like T414S BREWER and I am a coffee drinker.
T314B BREWER would be amazing to try! I drink at least 2-3 cups of coffee a day, it keeps me awake! I would love to try their single service brewers! Thanks for the chance!
I love the T314B brewer – that’s fast! I am definitely a morning coffee drinker and really can’t start my day without it. I didn’t start drinking coffee until I was in my 30s and am making up for lost time!
I’d like the big residential model, the T526B. I’d like to be able to do both cups and pots at a time. I drink quite a bit of coffee, all day long.
Another product I would like to try is the T214B Brewer. Yes, I am a coffee person. I always start my day with a cup of coffee, it just wouldn’t be right without it.
I am definitely a coffee person! Even though I typically only have 1 cup a day I look forward to it! I checked out their site and am interested in the T314B brewer!
I drink coffee pretty much all day. The flexibility of the T526B would work quite well. If I needed to brew an extra cup or two later in the day, it’d be a breeze. Thanks.
I would like to have the T526B BREWER. Yes, I’m a morning coffee person. I usually drink coffee with my breakfast.
A product I would like to buy as a gift would be the T414S Residential Brewer. It has a sleek, beautiful design & would make a great gift for one of my clients.
I love the smell of coffee but don’t drink it; maybe I should start so it would give me some energy every morning! However, I do love hot cocoa :)Thank you.
I’m a fan of anything that makes me coffee! 😉 I like that the T314B lets you choose how strong your coffee is!
I am not a morning person at all. I need at least 2 cups of coffee before I can function well. I like the touch Pro T714C.
I am a huge coffee fan if I dont have it I am a bear.. I do love the T314B I like how it lets you choose the strength of your coffee..
I would love to try the Essential T214B brewer. I am for sure not a morning person. I love coffee, I drink it at all hours of the day.
I do not drink coffee, but other members of the family do, so we are always interested in good machines. Since the number of cups consumed varies each day, this machine, which makes either single cups or a carafe, would be the best type for this family.
I would also love to try the Pro T714C, seems awesome actually all of them sound perfect. We are coffee fanatics, a morning can’t start without a cup of Joe. I actually drink a cup several times a day. LOVE my coffee.
I also like the Pro T714C. I am not a coffee person but several member of my family are and this would be an incredible gift for my dad. he is on the go a lot and this brewer would make it a lot easier for him to enjoy a cup of his favorite morning beverage.
They are all great. I would like the choice T414S single serve brewing system.
I would also love to try the Choice T414S because it is capatable with the K-cup. Yes my hubby and I are coffee drinkers. I have to have 2 cups a day to survive, but him he drinks coffee all day long. I get so mad because even if we are just running to the store he has to have his coffee cup filled and with him, thanks
I drink lots and lots of coffee. Only way to get my day started. Their brewers are really really nice and much better than mine. I also like their Choice T414S brewer
I would also love to try their Pro T714C Single-Serve Brewing System. It seems so durable with its industrial parts! I totally have my coffee rituals, every morning I do the same thing, and right after my shower I go straight to get my coffee.
I Must say I like All the one touch systems I can’t pick one over the other honestly !! I can’t start my day without coffee and even lattes in the late afternoon… I absolutely love Coffee !!! Thank You ,,,!!
The LA COFFEE Beverly Hills brew sounds pretty awesome. I didn’t even know that Touch Beverages had coffee available. I’m not a coffee drinker at all, but my mother is, whom I live with. I do enjoy tea and purchase kcups regularly, so I’d use the Touch Brewer for them, while my mother brewed coffee. Thanks so much for the chance! Have a great week.
I love coffee. It is apart of my morning routine every morning. I would love to try the beverly hills roast. I enjoy trying different types. I rarely stick to one type.
I would love to also try the Pro T714C. I am a coffee person through and through. I live for my coffee every morning and love to make new coffee drinks.
I am a coffee addict! thank you for the chance to win you giveaway! Have a great day!
I’d like to try their coffee called Pacific Sunrise. I would not say I’m a “coffee person”…I mostly have coffee when we’re out and stop somewhere. Once in a while I make coffee at home. The rest of family drinks coffee pretty much every day though.
I like the Touch Essential T2148B. This unit is sized to fit most travel mugs. We all need that! I am a coffee person and that is how I start my day, making coffee!
I also like the T414S
Thanks for the chance
I like the Pro T714C. I appreciate that it allows for different cup sizes. I like that you can choose the brew strength. I also like that it is fit for travel mugs.
I would love to try the T414S BREWER. I like the different size cups, variety of serving sizes for everyone in my family.
I went to their site and they have so many wonderful products. I would also love to have the t414s that would be great in our kitchen. I start my day with a cup of coffee and a bagel or toast. Sometimes I like to have a big breakfast with eggs and hashbrowns and this this coffee maker would fit into our home so well.
I like the T526B Brewer System. I am definitely a coffee lover and start every day with a freshly ground cup.
I need coffee to start off my day would love to try the T314B brewer. thanks for the chance
I would like to try their breakfast brew coffee. I like the taste of coffee, but primarily only drink decaf. I do enjoy a sweet coffee drink though.
I like the Touch Choice T414S – I like that you can choose the strength of the brew.
Yes, I am definitely a coffee person – it’s only happened two or three times in my adult life that I’ve had to go without coffee in the morning.
It was not pretty. 🙂
I start my day by eating a good breakfast (and have some coffee) – then immediately out for a run.
Then come back in and have some more coffee.
thanks!
I’d like to have the Choice T414S brewer. I’m not a coffee drinker, but my hubby is, and this would be great for him and easier for me!
I would also like to try the Touch Pro T714C Single serve brewer. Yes I am a coffee person. I start my morning off with a cup of coffee every day. Thanks for the great giveaway.
I like the Touch Pro T714C. I am a huge coffee drinker. I usually home brew instead of buying expensive coffee drinks. I prefer just coffee and creamer, usually caramel or vanilla.
i like the Choice T414S
Single-Serve Brewing System. i need coffee first thing in the morning. i also enjoy a cup in the evening.
I don’t really like coffee but my husband does. Reg coffee, iced coffee, expresso… he likes it all.
I would like to try the Touch Choice T414S. I am a lot of coffee in the morning person. I start the day with a lot of coffee.
I would love to try their coffee products. This is the first one of my lists. PACIFIC SUNRISE™
Lightly roasted to deliver a soothing, slightly sweet tasting coffee to enjoy anytime of the day or night

I like the Essential T214B perfect for my small household -small coffee brewer with big impact
I like the Pro T714C Single-Serve Brewing System. I am not a coffee person. Yes, I know! >__< My family loves coffee more than I do! I start my day with some water, juice or chocolate milk.
I like the looks of the Pro T714C. I’m not the best morning person. Coffee for me is a motivator. My other 1/2 lives for his morning 20+ ounces.
I’m not really a morning coffee person. I start my day with orange juice. I might have coffee with lunch.
Plus T526S is the coffee system I would choose. The system has a carafe which is always a plus to keep coffee warm and fresh for hours. It has a single cup function too.
I live on coffee. I love these single cup brewers. I would love to try their Plus T526S Single-Serve Brewing System it seems to have all the features I would use.
I’d like to try the Sunset Strip Coffee. Yes, I drink coffee every morning, or watch out!
I want to try out their BEVERLY HILLS™ blend. I’d add some creamer. I want to drink coffee every morning but have no coffe pot right now. It’s a treat only when I go out.
I love cofree. Especially in the morning but if it’s a cold day then I will require more. Their 3 different LA Coffee roasts look good. I am up for trying something new.
I don’t drink coffee, but my husband does. He enjoys a medium roast. so I would be interested in BEVERLY HILLS medium roast coffee. But first I guess I would need to win the coffee brewer to I could use the PODS.
I would love to try the pacific sunrise coffee. I am a huge coffee fan and this touch brewer is awesome!
I would love to try the Choice T414S brewer. it is great because it has mild medium or bold brew strength which is great because i like mild coffee but other family members love bold.I am definitely a fan of coffee
Thank you for the giveaway. I would love to try the Sunrise coffee. I enjoy sweet coffee sometimes. I am an older college student, mother of teenagers, and a wife to an early riser. I am also volunteering a couple days a week. I must start my day with some type of caffeine! I love that you could brew either coffee or tea since it is compatible with K-cups. This coffee brewer is really neat and convenient.
I would love to try the T414S BREWER. My husband and I drink a lot of coffee. I think this one would work well for my family!
coffee is necessary to start my day!! i would love to try their PACIFIC SUNRISE™ blend!!
I would love to have the Pro T714C. I am a coffee person, but I only drink folgers Columbian. I start my day at 4am, by getting my husbands lunch ready and when hes out the door, my day is in full force!
ohhh I’m a coffee person alright! Nothing starts my morning off right without a good ole cup of joe! I found out they sell these Touch Brewers at Best Buy! Very cool!
I like the Essential T214B Single-Serve Brewing System. To be honest I am not really a coffee person, but I would love to win this prize for my mom. I usually start my day with a homemade smoothie using my personal blender. Sometimes I work out for half an hour after I finish the smoothie.
I also love this brewer:https://www.touchbeverages.com/T214B.html. yes! I love coffee. I drink a breakfast blend with french vanilla creamer every day. Thanks for the chance!
I would love to try out the Beverly Hills coffee. These are really beautiful brewers. I love the sleek look and quick brew times.
I like their Touch Pro T714C. I am a huge coffee drinker and love to try new coffees. I begin my day by having my first cup of coffee and end it by having a cup of decaffeinated coffee.
I like the Pro T714C Single-Serve Brewing System. I start my morning with coffee every day. Lately it’s been more than one cup
i also like the Pro T714C
Single-Serve Brewing System
I would love to try the Pro T714C , I love having a cup of coffee in the morning with some vanilla creamer and 1 equal.
My husband and I both love our morning coffee. He takes his black and cream and sugar for me. We currently own a french press and a standard coffee maker. Would love to try any of the Touch brewers to save time and waste less coffee by not brewing entire pots!
Essential T214B is another one that I like.
I’d try the Pro T714C brewer. I don’t have a coffee maker at the moment so it puts a damper on me beig a coffee person. Would love a chance to try this.
The Choice T414S sounds great, too. I love coffee. If I get up early enough, I will start with a cup before I go to work. Otherwise, I have my first cup when I get to work, with a cup of oatmeal. I’ll have a second cup an hour or so later.
We are definitely coffee drinkers! (My husband is retired Navy — coffee was a way of life!) Now we claim we don’t so much use coffee cups as coffee tankards. (We measured one of our “coffee cups” this morning – it holds 24 oz! It’s like a cereal bowl with a handle!) Obviously, we start the morning with coffee!
I’m not a coffee person, but I do like hot chocolate. Every now and then I like the teas. I like the features of the T714C.
I would like to try their Sunset Strip dark roasted coffee. I start pretty much every morning with a couple cups of coffee, usually made at work with my Keurig there. I’ve been looking to upgrade that machine though and this would be perfect for that. One of the most annoying things about the Keurig I have now is that only short mugs fit underneath so my coffee gets cold fast. This brewer is taller though and should allow for using a travel mug with better insulation.
I also love the T214B Brewer. I love cappucinos and hot chocolates and sometimes when i work longer shifts at work, I do love coffee. I also love tea to soothe me.
I would like to try the Pro T714C. I am definitely a coffee person. I drink it all day!
I am a sometimes coffee person but I do enjoy when it is french vanilla
I am a coffee person. I can’t start my day without a piping hot cup of coffee. I like that I would get a hot cup very quickly.
I start every morning with coffee. I would also love to try the Pro T714C. Thanks for this giveaway.
