Works for me, nope it doesn’t

Out of the box it makes a good hot cup of coffee in under a minute. The sleek design takes up little room on the counter, it has an easy to fill reservoir and shuts off automatically. In spite of others poor reviews I am quite happy with this productThis is an addendum to my yesterday’s high praises for this coffee maker, I am returning this because after 4 brews it no longer works. It just has to work longer than 2 days,I so disappointedVer más

Sleek, quick, and easy

My (very) old basic no-frills Keurig was working fine until someone else used it to make coffee around New Year's, and suddenly it would not automatically shut off. I tried some troubleshooting maneuvers (cleaning, de-scaling, button-pushing), but no luck. I know I got my money's worth out of it. So I decided to retire it and again ordered the new single-serve very basic model. It's slimmer and sleeker, and easier to use than the old one. I ordered the dark green one (TBH I think I was just tired of black appliances) and a quick rummage found a green mug to go with. I don't drink coffee; I mainly use it to give me hot water, and I add the tea after (and this being Florida, there are only maybe 7 days a year that are cold enough to warrant drinking a hot bev). I rarely use the pod holder.It's adorable and actually takes up a little less room than the old one. It's very quick and quiet, works great. Only thing I don't like is that the cord is very short, maybe a foot shorter than the old one. So I have to use an extension cord, which I'm really not happy about. But I'm not really up to rearranging the furniture.Ver más

Confusing at first but now easy to use, buy the right refillable cups

We have had a boring black Keurig. It looked kinda chubby and bloated, so, while there was nothing technically wrong with it, I figured I'd replace it with this cuter, take up way less space model. And no regrets! All I miss is the hum, HUM, hum of the old one, to be honest.We always had to fill the old one before using it; the reservoir wasn't all that big. So this seems perfect. But the instructions only talked about first time set-up, not daily use. We have the refillable metal cup. We dump and refill that between cups, and the second cup wasn't working. First, it was because we weren't waiting long enough. We didn't know the noises and lights and delay and stuff. Now we have the hang of that.But it does require a minimum of 6 oz of water to run at all, and that is apparently more weak than I like my coffee. I am used to stopping the coffee filling with a pretty small cup. More like espresso strength, I guess. It won't run at all with too little water.UPDATE:My husband had a steep learning curve with this machine. He is using it incorrectly. He gets frustrated and does all the wrong things. I just spent some time with him and here's where he goes wrong.1. Does not add enough water.The light will flash a bit and then quit if you put in too little water.2. Gets impatient and turns the power on and off.As a top reviewer pointed out, you need a little over a minute before it starts brewing.3. Adds more water after turning it off too early.He hears it making weird noises and turns off the power button. If the lights are on or the machine is making noise, it is working. If neither is happening, you likely didn't add enough water, and now you are in a bit of a mess. In the case of not adding enough water, it seems like the water moves down from the filling reservoir and down into some kind of a heating area. You're now going to have to add more - probably at least 6 ounces, which is likely way more than you want or you'll get weak coffee - AND stay close and monitor the situation. It's important to let all the water drain out or you will leave the next person in line in trouble. Which brings me to:4. He turns the machine off when his cup is filled to is liking. No no no! Do not ever do this. You can open the lid to pause it and take out the coffee pod if you like, and then get another cup under there and let the rest of the water drain out! You must clear it every time or the next person will wind up with an overflowing coffee mess. Because I live with him, I never leave it unattended just in case he did this.Another recent learning on this is which refillable cups to get. I had a few different brands, but the Keurig compatible ones are the way to go, and this Amazon listing also has great reviews with videos that helped me understand how to use them. These don't do scary clicking in. They are brilliant. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086L7WS44/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Bad out of the factory.

I hope you'll take the time to read this one star review because it is not coming from a place of anger and is written by someone who is very confident that they know how to operate simple home appliances.Where I work, we have a larger Keurig brewer that gets daily use from at least five people, typically in rapid succession and sometimes multiple times per person. With that in mind, I considered Keurig to be a producer of reliable single serve coffee machines. I purchased this item in December of 2023 and it started getting used on Christmas day. I appreciate an 8oz cup of coffee, and was pleased to see that it happily brews up an 8oz cup of coffee with no complaint. All is well with the world. My wife, who would prefer a cup of stronger coffee, wanted to try it out at its minimum water level of 6oz. The reservoir emptied, but it refused to brew.Well, as much as that sucks, we figured that there may just be a design oversight where it *has* to be exactly 6oz of water, and maybe we were just under that somehow. I added a few more ounces of water and got it to actually brew. I suggested always making sure it was over the 6oz line, and that seemed to be the solution.In April of 2024, we hit a snag - it wouldn't brew an 8oz cup of coffee. I tried giving it a few more ounces and it once again did brew that cup of coffee, albeit weaker than intended. I chalked it up to maybe having mismeasured the cup.Now here we are in June of 2024. It once again would not brew an 8oz cup of coffee. No amount of additional water given to it would make it brew the coffee. The instruction manual says to hold the button for 5 seconds to purge the water that is currently in it, but it would do no such thing. Eventually, it did brew the water it had in it after I turned the entire machine off and back on, presumably resetting its software... But after getting 12oz of water out of it and pouring it down the sink, the next 8oz cup... Wouldn't brew.I added more water and for the first time ever, found that water was somehow leaking out of the bottom. Where did it come from? Who knows. I cleaned up and took the entire thing to the sink, pouring out what was in the reservoir and trying to see if I could shake more water out of wherever this mystery puddle had come from. There was the obvious sloshing sound of water coming from inside the machine, presumably in whatever little heating chamber it has in there, but shake as I might, I could not get the water to leave that heating chamber.So, one K-cup gone to waste and no coffee made. A shame. I did not successfully brew a cup of coffee after that. I re-read the instruction manual to see if there is something I missed, but no. We have used only filtered water in this machine, pulled through a Zero Water filter, so there is almost no chance that something is clogged or scaled, and I have no intention of purchasing Keurig's overpriced bottles of lemon juice to attempt to descale the machine.I have not yet sought remediation through Keurig, but I intend to. Regardless of the outcome, it won't change my review of this machine because I have read the one and two star reviews and see that this is a common problem. If Keurig honors their one year warranty and sends me a replacement machine at no cost to me, then what I can say is that Keurig is a company with standards and integrity, but it won't change my opinion that there is something built to fail about this particular model. If they do not honor that warranty, my opinion of Keurig will be at rock bottom and I will find other ways to make my $60 "investment" serve me.As an aside, it baffles me that there is a "minimum" amount of water that a coffee machine will take. I understand that inevitably, some small portion of water boiled is lost as steam, but you have to cook water for a long time to lose an appreciable amount. As someone entirely unfamiliar with the mechanisms at work inside this brewer, I think it may be suffering from being overcomplicated. It shouldn't care how much water it has in it - it should simply dispense hot water. Based on sound alone, these machines have a pump that ejects the water, so it doesn't seem to rely on the steam to force the water out. No one wants to spend 80 cents to over a dollar on a K-cup to get two drips of coffee, the user is not going to sabotage themselves with less water.

Every 2-3 months clean the needle and do descaling. Look over the user manual!!

I absolutely love this Keurig! I did go through the same thing as many users here have said with it not working after 2 to 3 months. BUT come to find out it’s a user error LOL You must clean out the needle that sticks in to the K pods and do a descaling every 2 to 3 months. It started working like brand new again!Ver más

Excellent smaller coffee maker

This is a handy little coffee maker. While not as fancy as the larger versions of Keurigs, it makes a great cup of coffee. The compact size makes it great for small kitchens and other small areas. I took mine to the office. It is compatible with all the usual K-Cups. The color is attractive. I have had it for some time now, and it has held up well.Ver más
