On my second unit..problems with both. First one not hot enough. Second one not has problem with "Prime" function and still not hot enough. Both units only months old.
I use mine every day and love how fast and quiet it is. I also love all the varieties of coffees offered. Thanks for an amazing invention! This is my second one. I bought a different one with only one cup choice, so this time I went all out.
Pros: Easy to use, Fast, Stylish, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Multiple Settings, Durable
I just had to order my 4th maker! Three have failed me in four months. I am not sure what to do if this fails me again. Why why why are they failing at such an early time? They must be very poorly made. This is my last attempt.
At first I was totally disapointed with this brewer, I was always getting the ""must prime" warning. Since I removed the black plastic screen filter at the bottom of the reservoir, never had the problem again. (the insert just slips off, and who needs it anyway there are screened filters inside the coffee pucks) Now it's fast and easy to use. I had sent this fix many times to customer suppot, but it just falls on deaf ears.
I too have the similar problems with the brewer not dispensing enough or even too much. If this happens unplug and clean the nozzles like the tech guys say, fill the tank with water (i use filtered water from my fridge always have), now plug it in remove the drip tray and put a measuring up under the brewer to catch just water. Run the brewer without a k-cup. you will get all sorts of amounts of water. Do this a few times. keeping the tank full all the time. KEYS TO PREVENTING THIS: -when the tank low level light comes on after a brew, fill it before turning the machine off it seems the machine wont refil the internal heated resivoir on properly on startup if there isnt enough water in the tank. -ALWAYS remove the K-cup after brewing, leaving it clogs the nozzles -keep the k-cup area clean, grounds tend to build up there. I've had this problem a few times, I am skilled maintenance technician and troubleshot the problem. Its a matter of water level before shutdown, removing the k-cup when done and keeping the k-cup area clean. This has worked for me for 8 months with no repeat incidents. My brewer is 2 years old and i love it.
Pros: Multiple Settings, Fast, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Easy to use
Love my Keurig, but over time, I've found that the coffee doesn't come out as fast, even with proper maintenance. Not only do I have a Keurig at home, I also brought one to my office!
Pros: Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Easy to use, Durable, Multiple Settings
Love the concept and the idea of having a freash cup whenever you want it. Mine broke after a year and half and Keurig basically said tough luck and tough love. They did sell me one at a discounted price. I bought it and it will be the last one I ever buy.
I love my Keurig. I bought it a year ago. I thought it would save me a lot of money at Starbucks. It did but it would have been better if it didn't break down after a year. At first I thought it was me until I read the reviews and seen that many people are having the exact same problems. I have over $50 worth of K Kups , so I have no choice but to buy another one. I bought a cheaper one this time. I figure if it was going to break anyway I might as well not spend as much.
Pros: Fast, Accommodates All Cup Sizes
Cons: Pricey / Poor Value, HARD TO CLEAN, Fragile, Noisy
