Problems with unit

Have had experience with two of the Elite coffee makers and have problems with both of them pumping the water out. Still a good coffee maker but a little pricey.
Pros: Multiple Settings, Stylish, Easy to use, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Fast
My wife and I drink between 8 and ten cups a day and I certainly take great pains to perform maintenance . This would include cleaning with Vinegar and using not only Keurig charcoal filters and using simultaneously Brita filtered water. Based on that the first machine lasted about 8 months and the second machine started making very loud noise when brewing and because I was in a hurry to obtain another in each case I took advantage of the liberal return policy of my favorite retailer. Green Mountain should make this much more durable since there is much profit in selling pods. Computer printer companies their printers durable so they can sell you the ink. In all fairness I hope that the Model K75 Platinum is better that its predecessors because I really want this to succeed. The entire concept is great. Guidance is needed here--is 8 to 10 cups per day too much for this machine to handle--I would have gone the extra distance to truly obtain a machine that is extremely durable.
Pros: Easy to use, Fast, Stylish, Accommodates All Cup Sizes
In terms of a cost effective means of brewing single cups of coffee, the Keurig Platinum Brewing System is perfect!! While the k-cups are costly, using your own coffee with the cup adapter is the way to go!!
As a single person, the Keurig system is perfect to cut down on clean up time and wasted or scorched coffee. I'm so glad that I finally tried one of these systems, and I don't think I'll ever go back to a drip coffeemaker again.

Had a model B70 and lasted 2 years. Model quit working by freezing in the brew mode. I de-scaled and cleaned as instructed in the manual. I also used filtered water. The good thing is Keurig replaced it free even though it was out of warranty (after I refused to pay for another at a reduced price and speaking with someone out of the corporate office). The model that they replaced it with is K70 WR which I can't find anywhere on Keurig's website or online. This model looks and has all the features as the B70 and hopefully the quality is better. These brewers are expensive and should last longer than 2 years. I think that I will be done with Keurig brewers if this one goes down prematurely. Bottom line is I will give the K70 a chance and come back and write another review. I would not feel comfortable recommending this model to a friend as of yet.
