After 11 months, the brewer said "descale". I put a gallon of vinegar in the water tank, but the only thing I got was vinegar tasting water. The descale indicator did not disappear. However, the pump also stopped working. The first one was returned and I received the same model free of charge. Happy coffee drinker for less than 11 months and now the same problems. The temperature is not consistent and not as hot as it is set to be. Very disappointed. Ready to go back to the old faithful.. Mr. Coffee drip.
I would not recommend this coffeemaker to anyone not worth the price I paid for it.. should have bought another type of coffeemaker. Only lasted less than 1 year and was not heavily used for coffee brewing
We were not really coffee drinkers because teenagers in the house. Since getting our Keurig we all drink now. NO MESS! Before the teens would leave coffee in pot and get a thick layer of mold after a few days. Now, just get the cup you want and we are good to go.
Pros: Stylish, Easy to use, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Fast, Multiple Settings
We have a Special Edition brewer and the Platinum Edition brewer. Since day one of our purchase of the Platinum edition, we have suffered through attempts to clear the annoying "Prime" message. You can't brew until the message clears and we have gone through all the suggested steps in the handbook. It has been moved to a box and the Special Edition is still going strong. I thought we were getting a better machine, but we didn't.
Pros: Multiple Settings, Stylish, Fast
Cons: Pricey / Poor Value, Prime signal is an issue
Within a couple of months the unit started making a horrible loud noise when it would pump.After a year our platinum started giving out much less than the selected cup sizes. We've regularly descaled it. But even choosing the largest size we end up getting possibly 1/8 of a cup every time. We love the keurig coffee but we're not going to spend another [$] + taxes on another unit that's going to fail.Also, my parents bought this same unit and the exact same behavior and timing happened to the point they just stopped using it.Several people at work have experienced the same issues. One person says he's had his for over a year and has no complaints.
Use the Keurig several times a day, that be in the morning for tea or coffee, or in the afternoon for that after dinner cup of coffee. Positives are the single cup feature, all the different choices of flavor you have, and the time it takes to make a cup of coffee. If I have one complaint, it has to be the price of the K-cups. We buy the 80 count packs at [@], and save a little that way. If you take care of it, descale and keep the needles clean, it will last for a long time. If not, you will have issues. There is a reason for the maintenance, so stick with it!
Pros: Fast, Durable, Easy to use, Accommodates All Cup Sizes
I started many years ago with a basic Keureg,2 settings.It lasted for years.I decided I wanted the iced coffee option so I gave my cousin my original and purchased the pricier unit.It broke in less than a year,they replaced it no problem,This unit lasted 13 months everyday use and finally died suddenly,I called the company and to my suprise they replaced it .Angela was the rep and couldnt have been nicer.Obviously there is a defect because of all the issues Ive read about in about the same time frame but you cant complain when a company has such an outstanding customer service.Never have I felt so satisfied with a company.They obviosly value their customers otherwise they would leave you hanging like soooo many other companies that want nothing to do with you once the warranty is past.KUDOS to KEUREG
Pros: Stylish, Fast, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Easy to use, Multiple Settings
Cons: Fragile
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Platinum Brewing System is designed and UL approved for household use. Keurig recommends customers use Keurig brewers consistent with their intended use.
This is a great brewer. Easy to use and brews fast. You have to experiment some with the cup sizes to fill your cup. We have normal size mugs and have to use the 10 oz. size and 4 oz. size to fill them. To fill our travel mugs we have to run the travel size and the 4 oz. size to fill them. We find that we are drinking more tea since we bought our Keurig. This is a great buy.
Pros: Fast, Multiple Settings, Stylish, Easy to use
Cons: Limited Cup Sizes, Travel mug size too small
