Brew a little drink a lot!

This is my first Keurig and I couldn't be more excited to write about how amazing it is! It is SUPER easy to set up, quick to brew and quiet. The little touch screen gives clear step by step instructions on what to do next which is great. K-cups came with the Keurig which was amazing since I didn't have any just laying around but wanted to try it right away! My first cup was English Breakfast Tea. I'm not a huge coffee drinker so tea is my preferable option and this tea was amazing. Fresh. It took me back to my first encounter with Breakfast Tea on my trip to Ireland a few years back. It is now my special treat on the mornings that the kids actually sleep in a little and I have some (rare) time for myself. I have even tried several of the coffee blends and they are very good! They are fresh and of higher quality. I prefer my coffee brewed over ice so I froze some of my favorite creamer and brewed it right over those cubes and it was amazing! It has me so excited for the warmer weather that is coming as it will replace my morning cup of hot tea. My husband has jumped right on the coffee train with me and drinks a LOT more of it than I do and is absolutely loving the Keurig .It's easy to make and maintain and no clean up after it's brewed right in to your cup! His one word after his first sip was, delicious. So all in all - 5 stars for the Keurig 2.0 machine itself as it is sleek, modern, and perfect for a home kitchen counter. I've yet to read on other special things it can do but for the morning cup of coffee - it's perfect! I'm excited to play with new settings and recipes and see just exactly all of the things that it will have to offer. I've seen recipes for oatmeal, soups and more and I can't wait to try them out! The k-cups they sent with it are fantastic. There is quite the variety to choose from and each one I've had so far is supper yummy! I'm excited about expanding what I already know is going to be my k-cup collection and even learning about how to re-purpose the cups and grounds and make every little bit count! So if you're in the market for a new coffee maker - go for the higher end and snatch a Keurig - it's well worth every penny!
Pros: Stylish, Fast, Easy to use, Multiple Settings, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just wish it was a little hotter!

Although I have access to a Keurig at work, this is the first one that I've owned in my home. I enjoy how quick it is to brew a cup of coffee, especially since a full pot would be too much for one person. The display is very easy to use and intuitive. My one complaint is that there isn't an option to adjust the beverage temperature. For some reason, the Keurig at my office brews hotter than this model. I personally prefer my beverages on the hotter side. I enjoy the variety of K-cups that are available, but I wish that previous versions were compatible with the 2.0 systems.
Pros: Stylish, Multiple Settings, Easy to use, Fast
Cons: No Temperature Settings, Incompatible K-cups

Quiet, but watch what packs you purchase

Setting up my brewer wasn't as easy as I expected as I ran into an issue during it's initial setup - it took about 15 minutes and me turning the system off before it was ready. The instructions didn't exactly match the setup process that I noticed. I like how quiet the system seems to be, but there are two negatives I can think of: 1) I don't like how you have to use specific k-cup packs that teamed up with Keurig. As I try to transition to more organic coffees, I don't like being limited to what I can use. 2) For the price, I can't stand that it doesn't come with a carafe. And, of course, it supposedly only works with the Keurig Thermal Carafe for another $30 plus shipping. I love the convenience of Kuerig and there are many good basic brands of coffee available for the machine, but it's not as convenient as previous models in my opinion.
Pros: Fast
Cons: Pricey / Poor Value

Great Brewer!

Verified Purchase:No
My parents have an older Keurig that I hate to use because it takes so long to heat up. I do not have that problem with this brewer, at all! I'm a college student and this Keurig is great for when I am on my way out the door running late for class! As some other reviewers have said the water tank is a little hard to get on and off but I'm sure it will get easier with time. I also wish there was a larger clearance underneath where the coffee comes out, sometimes I have troubles fitting my travel mugs under it. I'm not a fan of the fact that you HAVE to use their special K-cups now, because even some old K-cups that have the Keurig logo on them do not work.I do love that you can select from several different coffee and hot water sizes along with if you want your coffee strong or if you are brewing hot chocolate!
Pros: Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Multiple Settings, Stylish, Fast

I am in love

I have used the Keurig in the past when it first came out and I was pretty impressed. I had a small one but that one unfortunately broke. I stop by Dunkin Donuts every morning to pick myself up a Medium HOT Latte. Well let me JUST SAY…NOT ANYMORE. Go pick yourself up Keurig 2.0 immediately! Some may think I am crazy but I brought my Keurig 2.0 to work to share with my co-workers. I also purchased the reusable pod so I can pack whatever coffee I like versus buying the pods. Compare my $3+ daily run from Dunkin or getting a box of 12 pods for $8.00 which equals out to .67 cents a day…which route would you choose? Honestly speaking, I was so used to Dunkin Donuts that I thought I liked it! Well after taking a week break from Dunkin and then picking one up on the way home one afternoon (It was a long day at work) I was so unhappy. I needed my coffee from my Keurig. I have seen and read reviews about the old K-Cups not working on the 2.0 versions. I have not had an issue. I bought my reusable pod but I have also used K-Cups from the 1.0 and it worked just as fine on the 2.0. I love this Coffee Machine and I am looking forward to purchasing another one. I will need it for my home! I will purchase the Carafe with it this time.

Perfect cup of coffee

Verified Purchase:No
I think this is a great product. I love how there are so many k-cup brands and flavors so you can have a different cup of coffee every time. It is a bit noisy using it compared to other machines I have used but it isn't a big problem. I also feel like the water goes pretty fast, but maybe the tank is smaller than other ones I have tried. Overall this is a great product and I would recommend to anyone.
Pros: Easy to use, Fast, Accommodates All Cup Sizes
Cons: Noisy

Worth the money- great upgrade

As a Keurig mini owner, I upgraded to the k250 and it is way better. The water reservoir is removable and easy to clean which was a previous issue with the Keurig Mini because the water reservoir for the Mini is non-removable. This makes it hard to clean especially with mineralization. Since I am an everyday coffee drinker and am now addicted to caffeine, I was pleasantly surprised when there was a "strong" setting. It also has setting for "Hot Cocoa" and other which I was also surprised by. Definitely going to purchase some other types of Kcups because of that. In comparison to the Mini, the clearance for cup sizes is more versatile. The Mini can really only accommodate short mugs while I can fit my tall thermos under K250. Overall, it's a little bigger than the Keurig Mini but it's size is fair in terms of brewing systems. I currently have the black one and it looks great on the countertop. Nothing too flashy. Easy to use because the touch screen prompts you questions. I would definitely recommend!
Pros: Stylish, Durable, Touch Screen, Fast, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Multiple Settings, Easy to use
Cons: Large

Bit disappointed with the features on my K250
on June 12, 2015

I upgraded to the K250 after having one of the recalled mini's. I was waiting for the K250 rather than just get another mini because I was reading the features and really wanted bigger cup sizes. First of all if you are using a regular k-cup you only get 4 cup sizes, 4/6/8/10. I was hoping to go to at least 12oz for my bigger mugs. I cannot see a way to do that unless using a carafe. There are very limited options on the screen. I do not have a carafe but presumably when you remove the tray and insert a carafe you get more options? It's not a bad looking unit but also if I leave it plugged in like my two older keurigs it does actually stay on with the water heated. I don't like that. I don't want to have to unplug every time (because I know I will forget) and I feel it dangerous to leave heated all day long. The only advantage I see right now is that I can fit bigger mugs in without having to remove the drip tray - but I can't fill them. I am sure the carafe would solve a few of my issues but it doesn't come with the K250, you have to purchase it. Looking at the reviews (about not keeping warm) and the pictures I have seen I am not sure a plastic carafe would be worth the extra money. Sorry, I love my coffee and wouldn't be without my one cup brewer (I have a keurig at home and in my office, I even take them away with me if I am out of town) but I had higher expectations of this model.
Cons: Limited Cup Sizes
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
