Well we bought our keurig (platinum) about 15 months ago, worked great until about 6 months ago then had intermittent problems with "short cupping" and periodically shutting off...now it happens all the time. I called customer service and went through a series of "cleaning" steps, still didn't work right and shut off while I was on the phone to customer service. The representative said it was "defective" and will send out a new unit. From what I've read on here, it sounds as if they need to figure out why the machines keep malfunctioning and FIX IT!! Looks like this won't be our last replaced keurig.
Pros: Stylish, Multiple Settings, Easy to use, Accommodates All Cup Sizes
When working properly this a great machine. Our family loves the different coffee's available. We also like the fact it brews in 30 seconds. Unlike our old coffee maker there isn't a half pot or more of coffee being wasted. Problem we have had is coffee grounds getting into our cup. De-scaling was difficult as it didn't work and our brewer stopped working altogether. Customer service tedious but very helpful is sending us a replacement at no cost with a warranty. I would reccomend it to a friend.
Pros: Easy to use, Stylish
Cons: Limited Cup Sizes, HARD TO CLEAN, Complicated, Coffee grounds
Not sure what it is about this model; but it dies every 6-9months. The first one we were told it was a faulty valve. After our 2nd one died, I asked about this model (everyone else we know that has other models has not had these problems) and was told the valve issue was fixed, this problem was just a fluke. Well my third one is on the fritz after 6 months. We like this model due to the 12oz size; but we are beyond frustrated. Think we will consider another brand. Hopefully Keurig will come through with their terrific customer service; however, calling them is not feasible.
Pros: Multiple Settings, Easy to use, Accommodates All Cup Sizes
First it makes a great cup of coffee. You do have to try losts of coffee brands and types before you get the right ones for you.. But this is my second one, my third keruig is being replace today and should receive in a week. There are lots things to do keeping it clean and I don't think it;s really explained in the book. One of the things is if you use bold coffee you should put the cup in and poke the whole with force before u close the top because they have 30%more coffee and the coffee explodes into the needle and the hole where the water comes out and gets stuck and clogs and coffee maker doesn't work...But cs is sending me another keruig free of charge and I will must say even with the few problems I've had I would not trade for different kind of coffee maker. I love the fresh taste of coffee each time and I can have flavored, regulare, decaf or whatevere whenever I want. Keruig just needs a few more upgrades on the clogging of coffee grains...Love my Keruig
Pros: Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Easy to use, Stylish, Multiple Settings, Fresh coffee each time
Our B70 died today. Seems like the pump has failed like so many of the other commenters. Ours lasted about 6 months. I expect a much longer lifespan for a $100 plus coffee machine. We'll be bringing our Bunn back in from the garage today.
My wife and I received this unit as a replacement for a special edition when it broke. Now, a little over a year later, this model is not working. The unit wants me to de-scale, which I have attempted. There is solution in the unit, but the pump is not working. I believe it is a pump/electronics problem. If it were a fouling issue, it would not be behaving the way it is. We are going to give Keurig one more change, but if the next unit does not stand up, we will not be back.
on third of this style. all replaced under warranty. last one gave up the ghost less then 3 months. will continue to use as long as they are replaced no charge. if the present brewer lasts beyond the warranty period and then dies, i will strongly consider another model. all brewers used only bottled spring water and were 'descaled' at or before the 90 day period as recommended.
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Unreliable, Not durable, Fragile, Poor internal design
