I really was not sure about buying a coffee maker that makes one cup at a time, but my husband talked me into it. All I can say is a really love this machine!!! I had read some reviews that stated this machine was very noisy and vibrated, but I have found non of these statements to be true. I would highly recommend the Keurig Special Edition to anyone.
Pros: Stylish, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Easy to use, Durable, Multiple Settings, Fast
Great coffee, easy to use at first - but periodically leaks, then won't flash as "Ready to Brew" - keeps saying "Not Ready." Finally gave in and ordered a VUE. Hope it lasts longer!
I am the main user, my husband will use it for hot chocolate occassionally. I have recommended this machine to strangers who are looking at them in the store as well as to friends. My big complaint right now is that my machine has stopped functioning again. It seems the life span is two years. I am on number 3 and am starting to debate whether I get another. I follow the instructions, I only use filtered water and have gone on-line to repair. I've got to think about getting #4.
Pros: Fast, Stylish, Multiple Settings, Do Not Waste Coffee, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Easy to use
Christmas 2012 will mark the Keurig's 2nd year of use. As long as the brewer is purged with some white vinegar every 6 months the brewer stays reasonably quiet and keeps the brewing time under one minute.
Pros: Durable, Multiple Settings, Easy to use, Fast, Stylish
This is my second machine that lasted a year. The warranty ended on 11 Oct 12 and the machine died on 30 Oct 12. It is a good machine as far as making the coffee hot and a full cup but as far as being durable, not even close. After the first one died, Keurig sent me a new one and I ended up buying one right after my first one died. This will be the last Keurig machine that I will use and when this one dies, I will go to a different company.
I love the ease of Keurig coffeemakers and was excited to find that the new one was BPA-free. I tried the pot (cleaned it first per instructions) and all my cups of coffee tasted like plastic! Followed Keurig's instructions re: using vinegar to remove the taste. Still plastic taste. Then we looked at the reservoir and realized it was made of #6 plastic (Same plastic as the old fashioned Styrofoam cups that most resturants no longer sell heated drinks in b/c the chemicals in the plastics are released once heat hits the Styrofoam!) and that the reservoir lid was made of #7 plastic! Keurig indicated there were no replacements available made of other types of plastics. I'm returning this coffeepot as I do not feel it would be safe to use. I find it hard to believe that at $150 bucks per pot, Keurig cannot make a pot using safer plastics.
Pros: Easy to use, Fast, Multiple Settings, Stylish
