Possible fix for prime/pump issue
on December 29, 2012

This solution is not mentioned in the manual, online, or by customer service, so I could be wrong but; my machines have experienced the same or similar priming/pump/noise issues often described in these comments. Descaling does not work if the water is not pumping through, right? Today I think I've discovered the cause. If you look at the information on some of the models you will see the ability to drain the tank. My belief is that pressure in the tank cannot be overcome by the pump and this creates (wait for it . . .) excess noise and partial or no output. Believing my machine had finally bit the dust I was prepared to go look for a replacement. It was too early in the am so I curiously decided to disassemble my "dead" machine. I got to the tank, drained it, blew through the various tubes; put it all back together and voila! Please do not try if you are mechanically challenged and be careful (the water in my tank was still not).
Very disappointed in this brewer. It broke a few days after I bought it, so I returned it to the store and got another one. The second one constantly stopped working and I had to clean it way too many times. After about a year, the motor went out. It looks nice but you'll regret buying it.
I was very excited and pleased with our Kuerig. It was perfect to accommodate my husband and my varying tastes in coffee. However after just one year (about two weeks after the warrantee expired) our Kuerig died. I tried every fix I could find on the Internet, from "burping" to vinegar cleaning to pressurized air to clean out the tubes. NOTHING worked. When I wrote Kuerig, they were not helpful at all. The conclusion, I need to spend the money on a new one. That won't be happening. Very disappointing. In fact, others I know who bought a Kuerig seem to have experienced the same untimely death of their expensive brewer. I don't recommend you waste the money on this brewing system unless you're prepared for an annual hefty expense to continuously replace it.
Pros: Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Fast, Multiple Settings, Easy to use
Cons: Died After One Year, Pricey / Poor Value, Bad Customer Service
I have had my keurig for about one year and use it faithfully everyday by myself and my husband. I love it. It makes the perfect cup of coffee and I only recently started having a problem with it. I called customer service about it and they are replacing it without any problems. It is by far the best customer service I have ever received. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is for the maintenance of it and the fact that I had any trouble with it the first year.
Pros: Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Multiple Settings, Fast, Easy to use
Just received this as a Christmas present and absolutely love it. So easy to use and to program. Love the different cup sizes and I'm even able to get two cups out of one K cup. Would recommend this to all my family and friends.
Pros: Fast, Durable, Easy to use, Stylish, Multiple Settings, Accommodates All Cup Sizes
Well, we are on the 4th Platinum model now and once again the PRIME is an issue. We use nothing but filtered water, follow guidelines for care, etc. and yet after just a few weeks the prime light becomes a problem. The idea of the appliance is great, but after all the complaints about the prime light why don't they do something to correct it. It appears to be an air block issue. That is what we have determined.
