I abosolutly love my Brewer!!! The noise is not noisy I have had tons of coffee makers that make more noise then my Keurig! I have my coffee in the morning and my hot tea at night. I love the fact I don't waste my coffee or tea. Because with a regular coffee pot I usually waste coffee. I would recommend this to any of my friends or anyone for the matter who doesn't like wasting coffee! If you are a heavy coffee drinker then yes this may not be for you. I have never had issues with anything tasting bad because I followed the intrustions; run water through it before using and filtered water taste best. Filtered water always taste better anyways!
I have had my Keurig for almost 3 years with NO problems whatsoever. It has been used daily, as my husband and I are big coffee drinkers. We just love the fresh brewed coffee taste and the convenience of it. My only complaint is the cost of the k-cups, but by using the filter you can cut costs by brewing you own store bought coffee. Its a little less convenient but much more cost effective. In the beginning yes, you may get a weird taste with the new machine, but after a day or two of running it that goes away. Bottom line I would recommend this in a heartbeat to anyone.
Pros: Fast, Easy to use, Stylish
Cons: Pricey / Poor Value
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have owned several types of coffee machines over the years, recently a high end brand electric perculator. Not ready to replace my expensive super-automatic espresso machine which has retired after 10 years, I longed for a satisfying and reasonably priced means of caffeine. I have just purchased this machine and WOW! Beats a drip and since I have absolutely no plans of using anything but K-Cups ( which I think this is truly intended for ), I am thinking this is pretty close to perfect for a quick style machine. I preheat my mug with a hot water run before brewing a K-cup and won't ever have to pop my mug into the microwave again. I'm impressed. I like that it has 8oz and 10oz; my coffee gets lukewarm if I make a bigger cup. Obviously water quantity and the biological make up of your taste buds will come into play when tasting your coffee, but I must say that I really have enjoyed Green Mountain brand and look forward to trying out all that is offered. Try something bolder if you use more water - easy right? Might be awhile before I decide to spend mega bucks on another espresso machine as I'm really enjoying this machine. A person really doesn't need anything fancier, this does the trick! Temp may be adjusted for those who like it less hot. And please, take the time out to run a couple of tanks of water before using it for the first time and use only filtered water. I haven't detected any 'plastic' after-taste.
Got for a christmas gift last year was very happy with it. Only use bottled water and use the adapter that lets you use your any grounds. This past week it stopped working. Have tried all the tips on website but getting no results. Don't know where to turn. If I only get 2yr use not the best value.
I purchased the "special edition" and it made great coffee for 1 year. Then no lights, no noise ,no coffee, no warrenty and after only maybe 250 cups. This machine was treated with the greatest of care and so I am guessing it is an internal electical problem
We have had this unit since November 2011. The only time it brews coffee, is when our coffee drinking friends come over. We only drink tea, hot coccoa, and apple cider. Since we have had it we have had no isssues other than it being a little noisy. We have a Culligan reverse osmosis water system at our sink area, so filtered water is no problem. Brewing what we drink has been a pleasure so far, nice and hot, soothing, very tasty. As with anything it took some practice to find out what size mug did the best for whatever we were brewing. Once that was figured out, it's been a perfect mug everytime!
Pros: Stylish, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Multiple Settings, Fast, Easy to use, Durable
