I would not buy this again. I bought mine just over a year ago and it died about 2 weeks after the one year warrenty expired. Looking at the new Vue system but the K-CUPS cost twice as much.
Pros: Fast, Easy to use, Stylish, Accommodates All Cup Sizes
We use this machine about every other day from one cup to multiple cups. After about a year, it was only brewing the coffee no more than a few teaspoons at a time. After cleaning the needles and descaling the machine; it started to work for about 5 months when it started not brewing again. After doing the extra cleaning again, it worked for about 2 1/2 months, now we only get about a 4oz cup of coffee. We have tried everything again to no avail, so we are going to get a different machine. Not sure what I am going to do with all of my k-cups. My father has had the same problem with 2 of the machines he had.
In home use 3-4 times a day. Have had 2 Keurigs, both broke down before a year. Expensive for the poor construction. The last one leaked out of the bottom and sprayed coffee from the spout.
I love this coffee machine and the Keurig product. I can make me one cup of coffee when I want it. I can get just a cup of hot water when I need it. This makes my life so much easier and it is very easy to set up. I wish that I could select two of the sizes at once to make a bigger cup of coffee or I wish the selections were automatically bigger. 6oz and 8 oz does nothing for me. However, if I could push the 6 and 10 at the same time to make a 16 oz?!?!? That would be amazing. That is the only thing that would make this product better.
Pros: Stylish, Easy to use, Fast, Multiple Settings, Durable, Accommodates All Cup Sizes
This Keurig simply stopped working after about 8 months. We used it to brew about 4-5 cups a day. We called to see about getting it serviced, and the rep said she would FedEx a new one! Wow. That is excellent customer service! I'm now a Keurig fan for life. I wish other companies would learn this lesson.
I purchased this product about a year ago. We have several people in the office that drinks coffee all during the day. It is easy to use with no mess of coffee grounds and makes a cup in just a minute. I did have a problem with it (not turning on). I called customer service discribed the problem and they sending me out another new unit @ no charge. They understand the importance of good customer service. Thanks
Pros: Stylish, Easy to use, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Special Edition Brewing System is designed and UL approved for household use. Keurig recommends customers use Keurig brewers consistent with their intended use.
First, I will say I love the coffee that the Keurig brewers put out. However, the machines just don't last. I'm the only user in our house, brewing about two cups a day. The first machine lasted a year and half. Here I am at a year and a half on machine two and it just died again. Needless to say my crummy back up machine (a regular old-school brewer is still working after 6 years) For what you pay for these things you should at least get 3 years out of them. There is a reason the warranty is a year. Sorry Keurig you let me down again.
