Love My Keurig

I purchased 2 of the B60 Special Edition Brewers. One for myself and my husband and the other for my dad and mom for Christmas. I've never been much of a coffee drinker, but I love the coffee brewed through this system and the varieties available. We have used it everyday since we received it. My brewer does not get the coffee hot enough, but my dad and mom's works well.
Pros: Easy to use, Durable, Stylish, Multiple Settings, Accommodates All Cup Sizes

I like these coffee makers, I have two one for the office and one for home. Ours ran fine at home until the filter got plugged, then it would shut off after every cup, once we figured that out and changed the filter, no more problems, but that just adds more cost to the coffee. I do love the coffee they make though.
Pros: Easy to use, Saves Time, Hot, Stylish, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Multiple Settings
I am a full-caff drinker and my husband is a decaf coffee guy. We used to use the little red plastic single cup filters and we made each cup individually. I worked in an office that had a Keurig system. At that time, home brewers were too expensive to own. I was delighted when they became more affordable and bought one well over a year ago. Love it! At first I used the personal K-cup because I am a coffee snob. Eventually I grew tired of that and started to buy the samples and found that I really liked the coffees. We never use beans from the local roaster any more. My mom visited and loved it, so I bought one for her a year ago. My brother just visited my mom and will be buying one for his home and for his car dealership. I just bought a small one for my desk using my club points. They are a little noisy, but are so fast it makes little difference.
I just got my special edition keurig. The water canister states that it will hold eight cups of water, however, it doesn't. Maybe four or five normal size cups (which keurig classifies as large cups). The large size cup you would think was a travel mug size, if you want to fill a travel mug, you need to use the small and med. size cup size on the machine. I use longaberger mugs, and the large cup setting doesn't fill the mug completely. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY DON'T MAKE A SUGAR FREE HOT CHOCOA.(HOPE THAT CHANGES AS MANY PEOPLE ARE DIABETIC). Now for the pros. it heats up fast and is very quiet. The pods are kinda high in price and so is the K cup. $17.00 for one cup. For what we pay for the maker and the pods you would think they would include one K cup with it and one filter. Keurig does have a ALOT of different flavors which is nice. I wish they would also let us make our own sample pack of five. That would be nice. And the pods are more exspensive online then in the stores. But overall,,i use my maker everyday about five or six times a day and we love it. Easy to use and even older kids can understand it.
Just got it for Christmas and it was the best present ever!! My husband and I couldn't believe the variety of different coffees sold, so much to choose from and we can't wait to try them.
Pros: Stylish, Easy to use, Multiple Settings, Accommodates All Cup Sizes
We received this machine for Christmas and these are a few things I would have liked to know before buying: First - we originally requested a nescafe dolce gusto machine but both sets of parents ignored this request and ended up buying us this same model. You should know that compared to the nescafe model this one just does hot chocolate, tea and coffee -- not fancy drinks like cappucino, etc. like at the coffee shops. Also, there is no way to regulate the strength of the coffee which mostly seems to be very strong and bold. At first there is also a noticable plastic taste but that seemed to go away after a few brews. The hot chocolate is tasty, but not rich and frothy... also the plastic taste is more noticable on this one. Again, it will probably subside. Also, after reading posts about this machine it sounds like most only last 10-12 months before dying. So, it will most likely not be reliable long-term. However, it is easy, convenient and for those who like strong coffee it does taste good to me. However, I still think the folgers breakfast blend is more our speed in the regular coffee maker. Some posts complain about the noise, but it really isn't that loud. One last thing - the programmable feature is only to turn the machine on and off -- not to set a time to brew in the mornings. However, it brews so fast that it doesn't really matter. That being said, I would still recommend it as it is fun, quick to brew and tastes good overall. Good luck!
