I have commented on this before..a consumers who spend 80 to 150 bucks on a brewer should NOT have to deal with an inferior product. Also they should NOT have to tear apart a brewer to reset an inferior made thermal protector. Same thing with a cheaply made plastic latch. Keurig has manufactured a lot of garbage in recent years. I know first hand. I've gone through 4 k smarts with internet in 1.5 years, albeit replaced under warranty . Once this last one goes, it's Ninja all the way for me.
I have the Elite now, happy to see it’s not on the worse list. I bought it cheap when the Keurig website was having a subscription deal. My husband likes the hot water button. I had a supreme I had bought at Costco and it didn’t last long. I’m on several different Costco Facebook pages and see people comment on them a lot about them breaking down. Good to see you for once. And congratulations on subscriber count!
Thank you for making these videos, I’ve used them several times in making a purchase decision, and I always go back to look at the descaling videos because I always forget. But, for me, my favorite Keurig ever was the Keurig 2.0. It lasted us over seven years being used 2 to 4 times a day. They just don’t make them like they used to.
I'm a Keurig fanatic, I'll don't even think of buying another brand of coffee maker. Congrats on the YT achievement and for your own coffee brand. I'll be looking forward to try it. Best wishes!!
Im happy my K-Elite was mentioned as being reliable, i have had it for years and love it, the screen is a short learning curve but the thing is built like a tank!
Congratulations on more than 100,000 subscribers! That’s awesome! Thanks for still having that soothing voice, although for this video you were very excited!
@@JustADad If you can go back to the previous style.. of just pointing things out.. ya know, not being on camera... nothing personal... just awkward :)
Hello, Just a Dad, I watched this video and wanted to say thank you a ton. At 5:41, you talked about the new update keurig did that switched the hot water rinses to cold water rinses, so no more needing to wait on cooling off. Thank you so much again. I can't say i agree with you on calling keurigs customer support, i have the keurig k cafe smart. When i did the first descale on it, i let it cool off. During the rinses, it was cold water, i thought my keurig was malfunctioning. So i called keurig. The guy said we can't help you or tell you anything about what's causing your issue until you descale again in 3 months with us on the phone, so we can figure out the cause. I asked the guy do you have a database of errors, what caused those errors, and the solutions to those errors. i got no response. I asked, "Can i please get my keurig replaced with a new 1 and send in this malfunction?" He said sure if in 3 months, this happens again with keurig on the phone." So i had to go to Target. Swap it out myself the old-fashioned way. Wish i watched this first their was nothing wrong lol, can i ask you to make a video talking more about the keurig software updates, more information about what keurigs need a cool down before rinses, what keurigs have the cold water rinses software update. You helped me learn something about my keurig thank you, sir. I always like to teach others who have taught me something. It's fair, everyone learns more and everyone benefits with more knowledge. To use the my k cup reusable pod properly, use the red ring for single needle keurigs, remove red ring for multi brew keurigs. Also, please add this to your keurig tips and tricks. When i load a fresh k cup pod in my Keurig K Cafe Smart, i push the pod all the way down onto the bottom needle. It releases the pressure in the pod. The built-in filter keeps the coffee grounds in the pod. Released pressure in the pod prevents coffee grounds from being blown up into the needle and keurig. Caused by the top needles poking top holes before the bottom needle can vent the pod while closing the keurig. No more clogged needles. I wanted to share with you the maintenance and care routine i use for my keurig k cafe smart brewer. I only use purified bottle water. At the end of each week, i use a rinse pod to clean out everything. I use eyeglass wet wipes to clean the camera lens. I pull everything off and out to wash clean and sanitize. Then, refill the water for the week. Once a month, i change the carbon water filter, and every 3 months, i descale with the keurig solution. Thank you again for helping me solve my cold water rinse issue that wasn't a malfunction. Thank you Happy brewing, Just a Dad.
Great video. Just bought a select model, a friend of mine has had one quite awhile, no issues, so i bought one. Hopefully it will be reliable. Im happy with the coffee it produces.
I have had a classic for 13 years. It is loud!!! But going strong. I want a slim for work but Im nervous that it will stop working or will leak. Ill go back and check out your videos to help me decide. Thank you for all your videos!!❤looking forward to trying your coffee, if you have decaf.😊
Great video! I have both the K Supreme Plus at home and the Classic machine at our 2nd home and you are spot on! That Classic is going strong! It’s tried and true. I thank you for this fantastic and informative video. I trust your wisdom with everything K-cup related. 😀
Have a K Supreme Plus smart and love the machine. I can say the standard Supremes do indeed have some issues, at least the early manufactured units. I have had to fix two standard Supremes for family members of mine by resetting the thermal switch.
Such a great video. I wish I had looked at this first. Just brought the Keurig duo Essentials and it was a bust just like you said. The water wasn't coming out. I called Keurig and they walked me through the steps of unclogging, but I was over it for a brand-new machine and am buying a stand alone Keurig.
I bought a Keurig Commercial K1500 in 2018 on sale from Staples for $98CAD. I have used that machine several times daily since I bought it and it has been rock solid. It's going on 6 years problem free as a work horse. I'm guessing maybe Keurig's commercial line of products are built with better components or to a higher standard than their regular machines.
I've had the K Elite now for over 3 years and have never had a problem with it. I love it. I descale it every 60 days with vinegar/water. I hope it never goes bad, but nothing lasts forever.
I’ve learned so much from you thank you I have the kiwis supreme plus & theres 3 of us that use the machine 3-6 X’s a day & the d Descale light turns on q 2 months 1st X I descaled it it took 2-3 pitchers of water but I waited over a week before I descaled it so I learned my lesson again thanks again for all your knowledge & wisdom 🙏🏻
I've had the Classic and never descaled it. I always put filtered water in it. But I gave it away to my daughter and got out of the Keurig makers, went to something else. Now I'm back to Keurig and got the Walmart K-Express Essentials and just went thru a descale this morning with it.
My kids got me a Keurig Duo for Christmas a few years ago. I had it for about 2 years until one day I was brewing a single cup and smoke started pouring out of the back of the machine. I unplugged it and carried it out of the house before it started a fire.
i have that big original KCafe and i got it for my wedding in 2019. I had to send it back because it wouldn't brew past 170 degrees F , the frother never frothed and the company's suggestion was to use fat free milk only. They did send me a replacement but yesterday found out its leaking out the bottom which sucks! I really wanted to know which new keurig would be worth my money and I came across your video. I loved the intro it made me laugh. but thank you for the information I feel so much more informed! i may pick up that k cafe barista with the detached frother based on your recommendation
Thanks for helping me replace my keurig. After reading comments here i found a insta brand single cup coffeemaker on sale on Walmart site for only $25. Of course after i click add to cart it says out of stock. But then I saw a mainstays brand one for only $20 and reviews are better than the other one or keurig. Trying it. 😊 and keeping all the packaging just in case. 😂
I have a Toastmaster "Keurig" coffee maker. Sure, it's not fancy. But it gets the job done. I also have a Toastmaster 12 cup. It also is not fancy but it works reliably. I paid $53 for both. I don't care if things are cheap as long as they work reliably.
@@JustADad If you didn't edit them out, it wasn't an oops... I highly doubt you "forgot" to edit the video. Which means the beginning was planned... which is ok... but oops?
Nice review. For me the ones I have owned that are the most reliable are the 3 K-Classic, 2 K-Elite, and 1 the K155 is a beast at making coffee. The only downfall I see on all three of these are if your running solar or off grid at night. These with the pots inside can turn off after two hours but during that 2 hours it will “sip” 730 watts every minute for 8 seconds over that 2. hours before it turns off. This could be a concern if you are/need to be emergency conscious.
I've had the K Elite for so long I can't remember. I run vinegar through it 2 or 3 times a year and it works great. The only downside which is that I wish it made hotter coffee. I have the silver K cafe with the frother and so far I really like it and it makes hotter coffee, it was given to me so I didn't have to pay $200 for it although I did have to buy a replacement frother lid which I found in the Keurig site. I also have the dual brew but I broke the pot. My parents didn't like it so they gave it back to me. I think it was too complicated for them.
I've used Keurig coffee makers for many years. My current one (K-cafe w/ magnetic frother) is acting up on occasion. The coffee is watery even in strong mode. I'm planning to switch to a dedicated espresso machine for better results. I was hoping the newer models would be better, but I haven't seen consistent promising feedback on them.
I haven't purchased a new machine yet, so I'm still using the cups. If the machine works decently after purchasing a different machine, I may use both temporarily, particularly for comparison until I run out, or give some to friends who have a Keurig.
Yes I really love keurig. But just briefly. My wife has purchased 3 in two years. I’m not a coffee snob so I’m not really qualified to say anything. Of course having said that I’m looking for an alternative to keurig. I’ve got some coffee pods and now I’m reduced to heating up water, running water thru a stainless steel strainer on top of a paper towel. It works. My wife and son use a French press. But I can’t stand all the residual coffee grounds at the bottom. But if that’s my biggest problem in life I suppose it’s all good
I knew the K duo plus had to be on here somewhere. The latch breaking was the last straw with mine. I even cleaned mine once a month with vinegar and it still got too much buildup in it as well. I have the K café smart now. Will not use anything else.
Ive had the k classic for over 10 years and have had no problems, but unfortunately I got a Duo Essentials this year for Christmas and it didn't even work! I'm going to stick with my classic 😅
So far I've ordered 2 x K-Elite models in a row that were both defective and now I'm waiting on a 3rd model. Very disappointing. Having them take the tank light out of this model was bad enough, but this new quality issue is a problem. The first one stopped working after 2 days. This new one has a catch in the handle closing that I have no idea how to fix without ripping it apart. I literally just got it delivered and unboxed when I discovered this. I'm already waiting on a replacement. If the 3rd try fails, I'm definitely telling me to avoid the K-Elite as radioactive. I'm willing to put up with that 250 count descale at this point and let the boilers go if it's going to be like this.
May I ask if you know what the water pipe/tube is made of that wraps around the heating element? It looks like it may be metallic from what I could see here and in pictures. If so, do you know if it is steel or aluminum? Does a magnet stick to it?
I have the K Compact and the problem I have is gambling on what the button will do. I usually use the middle button and it either give me half a cup or it overflows my cup. Same with the big cup button. I can make a cup of coffee and it work, next time it will overflow my cup.
I have the K Classic which is very old, I am guessing 15 years. The coffee could be hotter though. Lights flash sometimes but fix is easy. I would like to replace with one that brews hotter, but it seems new models are not as reliable from this.
I have a classic thats been making at least 2 cups a day every day for over 5 years. I have had to unclog the needle a few times. Only ever descaled it once.....working good but was wanting to get a new one because my wife wants something more 'cute'
I had a k classic but wanted smaller, slimmer, and more than 1 cup water holder. Now I'd like one thats a little shorter too. Love your channel..looking for easy reset for the slim with water reservoir??
I had a classic x13 years & it was still working when I replaced with K cafe duo special edition . They should do a classic with 5 prongs instead of 1 . Jeanne
How do you get rid of the funky Keurig taste? I bought a K-Express Essentials and have ran several vinegar rinses and several clean water rinses. I've read about off gassing but does it ever go away?
I’m looking for a 16oz serving using a reusable k-cup so i can bring my own coffee. Can i get a 16oz cup from one k-cup? Does the keurig have a setting for 16oz or would i run it twice at 8oz? Which machine would you recommend for what I’m looking for. Thanks.
Purchase three of the Keurig k supreme Plus . The Costco special edition. The first two I bought were on sale and the digital screen only showed three settings for strength and heat. the third model I bought has the five different settings that are supposed to be available. My question is is Costco in or Keurig packaging these as new models when they are older styles.
I have a Kslim which just conked out. I'm not sure if I'll replace it. I only used it for a year. Why waste money again on a product that breaks down? It's so convenient though. Tfs
I have a smart keurig. I just did a descale and I noticed during the rinse the water was cold while saying dispensing hot water ugh. Think I might try espresso next idk.
I'm a little confused....I thought you mentioned(I went back twice) the K-Classic AND the Compact as reliable......I just bought(as an extra)the compact($50-Amazon) when I found it would distribute just the hot water if you pressed one of the size options & left K-cup out. I have an Elite....lasts for years...and two others...(one with slim container left side-K Supreme..) aLso have one for iced coffee. I take notes with your videos ! Thank you for all you do. Have a lovely Thanksgiving.... you've got the special doggie treats ready...right? 🥰 Enjoy !
Mine old one was acting funny. The lights was blinking and I click the one i want but nothing came out. I kept opening it several times and pushing buttons it finally came out on the smaller cup
I’ve had 2 quite within 2 days of each other. I watched your video on how to reset the thermostat , and I was able to do that. Now I can’t get the descale to go off…😳
Keurig k supreme plus is the worst!! I have replaced mine 4 times in 2 years as it just stops working and burns something in the circuitry. It makes great coffee but completely not reliable.
We still have/use the original K-Classic for more than 7 years... Still going strong with no issues... NONE!!! Until it dies, we'll continue to use it...
I searched but did you (@justadad) ever review the Bruvi coffee maker? Its proprietary pods have 15g of coffee in them. Most videos play background music and i cant hear how loud the machine is. Appreciate your insight!
I have a K select. when I use the strong button almost no water comes out. It works on regular cups but on 8oz it makes about 6 1/2 oz Any idea what is wrong with the strong button
I suppose I'm fu*&* up, because I just bought a Keurig Duo Plus because of the feature of preparing coffee for more people without losing my ability to keep making my kcup colombian avery morning. And now you say it is the worst! Suddenly, I feel depressed 😔
it may not be but I do see lots of comments on this coffee maker, I think it might be that just because they sell so many so I would not worry too much, just keep up on descaling it.
I would like to know why the smart brewer leeks water from the cup area when brewing. There's several streams of water. Yes I've cleaned all the points
I bought the Barista Bar in early October, it worked almost a month...bought from Keurig website...they sent a replacement that I got last week, it didn't work right out of the box...supposed to be sending another replacement for the replacement for the original order! I am very skeptical...I asked if this model had issues and was told no. Have my doubts.
My Keurig K-Elite worked perfectly for 18 months until the Descale came on. After descaling, it starts, then shuts off immediately and completely. Fix?
How about the keypad, going Rouge, preference changed alone, still won't start. I've previously dealt with the micro switch on the lid and the thermostat.
I have had to return to already for faulty coffee brewing and this is my third one. But I'm still having leakage issues from the top of the pods splashing around the perimeter . Calling Karen corporate does no good because they're Malaysian call center either acts like they don't understand what I'm asking or don't want to deal with the problem and I cannot get corporate on the line to answer my questions
I had the K Supreme Plus. While it was running a brew one morning, I accidentally knocked into the water tank, and the tank lifted slightly off the base. It stopped dripping. I tried to brew another cup and it would not start up. Unplugged and plugged it in. It still wouldn't start and has never worked again.
There are videos to fix your issue. He actually talks about it in this video. You need to take it apart, it’s not too bad, I’ve done it a handful of times. You’ll need to press a reset button using a paper clip
@@natertots17 thanks for your suggestions. I already replaced it with another one. I recently started grinding coffee beans and using the reusable pod included with the machine and actually enjoy it so much more than the plastic/aluminum pods I used to buy. I kept putting it off thinking it would be a hassle but it's really quick.
I enjoyed it for a year but now the k supreme + is garbage. I only use triple bold setting, and it cuts out. It doesn’t matter how much I descale it. I was sick of wasting k cups and time descaling. Now I’ve got the ninja pods and grounds. The coffee is just ok next to the k supreme + but at least it works, and won’t cost an arm and a leg to replace when it breaks. I’ll never buy a premium keurig again.
I have the Keurig K-Cafe Single Serve K-Cup Coffee, Latte and Cappuccino Maker, Dark Charcoal. It’s leaking water whenever I try to make coffee. It’s a mess of water. Any ideas? I called customer service. No help.
My wife is on her 10th or 11th Keurig. They're all crap! Made to break.... My wife (bless her) is a glutton for punishment. Her insanity is buying the same crap product and expecting a different outcome. Me, I have a 16yr old Mr Coffee machine that works every single morning. Every morning is a good morning for me. Have a great day!!!!
The K85 Essentials is a piece of crap. We've barely had it for a year with light use, cleaning every couple weeks, descaled it often, and it just went kaput. Ninja coffee makers are going to be getting my money from here on out.

I've used Keurig coffee makers for many years. My current one (K-cafe w/ magnetic frother) is acting up on occasion. The coffee is watery even in strong mode. I'm planning to switch to a dedicated espresso machine for better results. I was hoping the newer models would be better, but I haven't seen consistent promising feedback on them.
I haven't purchased a new machine yet, so I'm still using the cups. If the machine works decently after purchasing a different machine, I may use both temporarily, particularly for comparison until I run out, or give some to friends who have a Keurig.
Thanks for sharing!
Did you try descaling to see if that helps with it getting watery?
Yes I really love keurig. But just briefly. My wife has purchased 3 in two years. I’m not a coffee snob so I’m not really qualified to say anything. Of course having said that I’m looking for an alternative to keurig. I’ve got some coffee pods and now I’m reduced to heating up water, running water thru a stainless steel strainer on top of a paper towel. It works. My wife and son use a French press. But I can’t stand all the residual coffee grounds at the bottom. But if that’s my biggest problem in life I suppose it’s all good
I knew the K duo plus had to be on here somewhere. The latch breaking was the last straw with mine. I even cleaned mine once a month with vinegar and it still got too much buildup in it as well. I have the K café smart now. Will not use anything else.
Did he mention the Duo? I didnt hear it. I have it too.
Ive had the k classic for over 10 years and have had no problems, but unfortunately I got a Duo Essentials this year for Christmas and it didn't even work! I'm going to stick with my classic 😅
So far I've ordered 2 x K-Elite models in a row that were both defective and now I'm waiting on a 3rd model. Very disappointing. Having them take the tank light out of this model was bad enough, but this new quality issue is a problem. The first one stopped working after 2 days. This new one has a catch in the handle closing that I have no idea how to fix without ripping it apart. I literally just got it delivered and unboxed when I discovered this. I'm already waiting on a replacement. If the 3rd try fails, I'm definitely telling me to avoid the K-Elite as radioactive. I'm willing to put up with that 250 count descale at this point and let the boilers go if it's going to be like this.
May I ask if you know what the water pipe/tube is made of that wraps around the heating element? It looks like it may be metallic from what I could see here and in pictures. If so, do you know if it is steel or aluminum? Does a magnet stick to it?
I have the K Compact and the problem I have is gambling on what the button will do. I usually use the middle button and it either give me half a cup or it overflows my cup. Same with the big cup button. I can make a cup of coffee and it work, next time it will overflow my cup.
I have the K Classic which is very old, I am guessing 15 years. The coffee could be hotter though. Lights flash sometimes but fix is easy. I would like to replace with one that brews hotter, but it seems new models are not as reliable from this.
Do you have a video or thoughts on the Kurig that makes the best cup of coffee?
I have a classic thats been making at least 2 cups a day every day for over 5 years. I have had to unclog the needle a few times. Only ever descaled it once.....working good but was wanting to get a new one because my wife wants something more 'cute'
Yep that’s very reliable
since you such a large selection k machines , you should make video on compatible reusable k cups and the recommended one for each machine.
I had a k classic but wanted smaller, slimmer, and more than 1 cup water holder. Now I'd like one thats a little shorter too. Love your channel..looking for easy reset for the slim with water reservoir??
Thank you
I had a classic x13 years & it was still working when I replaced with K cafe duo special edition
. They should do a classic with 5 prongs instead of 1 . Jeanne
SIR MY 2021 K CUP SUPREME SOMETIMES ONLY PUTS OUT A LITTLE WATER THEN ILIFT THEN CLOSE AND THEN IT WORKS CAN YOU TELL ME WHY IT DOES THAT THANK YOU
How do you get rid of the funky Keurig taste? I bought a K-Express Essentials and have ran several vinegar rinses and several clean water rinses. I've read about off gassing but does it ever go away?
Which one can you added a filter too?
I’m looking for a 16oz serving using a reusable k-cup so i can bring my own coffee. Can i get a 16oz cup from one k-cup? Does the keurig have a setting for 16oz or would i run it twice at 8oz? Which machine would you recommend for what I’m looking for. Thanks.
Does the 5 needle system work better the single middle needle type
Purchase three of the Keurig k supreme Plus . The Costco special edition. The first two I bought were on sale and the digital screen only showed three settings for strength and heat. the third model I bought has the five different settings that are supposed to be available. My question is is Costco in or Keurig packaging these as new models when they are older styles.
I have a Kslim which just conked out. I'm not sure if I'll replace it. I only used it for a year. Why waste money again on a product that breaks down? It's so convenient though. Tfs
I have a smart keurig. I just did a descale and I noticed during the rinse the water was cold while saying dispensing hot water ugh. Think I might try espresso next idk.
Just replaced my k mini after just about a year, as it leaks from the bottom. A little worried because I replaced it with another k mini due to price
Had issues with the K Classic but we have hard water…would not buy again…bought a k slim iced….so far so good…using bottled water though.
I'm a little confused....I thought you mentioned(I went back twice) the K-Classic AND the Compact as reliable......I just bought(as an extra)the compact($50-Amazon) when I found it would distribute just the hot water if you pressed one of the size options & left K-cup out. I have an Elite....lasts for years...and two others...(one with slim container left side-K Supreme..) aLso have one for iced coffee. I take notes with your videos ! Thank you for all you do. Have a lovely Thanksgiving.... you've got the special doggie treats ready...right? 🥰 Enjoy !
yeah the K classic and compact are very reliable. Fioana missed her dog treat. I will make sure to give her one!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Mine old one was acting funny. The lights was blinking and I click the one i want but nothing came out. I kept opening it several times and pushing buttons it finally came out on the smaller cup
I’ve had 2 quite within 2 days of each other. I watched your video on how to reset the thermostat , and I was able to do that. Now I can’t get the descale to go off…😳
Keurig k supreme plus is the worst!! I have replaced mine 4 times in 2 years as it just stops working and burns something in the circuitry. It makes great coffee but completely not reliable.
We still have/use the original K-Classic for more than 7 years... Still going strong with no issues... NONE!!! Until it dies, we'll continue to use it...
I searched but did you (@justadad) ever review the Bruvi coffee maker? Its proprietary pods have 15g of coffee in them. Most videos play background music and i cant hear how loud the machine is. Appreciate your insight!
No I have not yet
Which one in your opinion is best right now?
I have a K select. when I use the strong button almost no water comes out.
It works on regular cups but on 8oz it makes about 6 1/2 oz
Any idea what is wrong with the strong button
I suppose I'm fu*&* up, because I just bought a Keurig Duo Plus because of the feature of preparing coffee for more people without losing my ability to keep making my kcup colombian avery morning. And now you say it is the worst! Suddenly, I feel depressed 😔
it may not be but I do see lots of comments on this coffee maker, I think it might be that just because they sell so many so I would not worry too much, just keep up on descaling it.
I prefer using a traditional coffee maker
How many Keurig machines use that multi stream technology?
I would like to know why the smart brewer leeks water from the cup area when brewing. There's several streams of water. Yes I've cleaned all the points
What kind of k cup are you using?
@@JustADad it has done it on all different kinds Keurig brands mainly
I bought the Barista Bar in early October, it worked almost a month...bought from Keurig website...they sent a replacement that I got last week, it didn't work right out of the box...supposed to be sending another replacement for the replacement for the original order! I am very skeptical...I asked if this model had issues and was told no. Have my doubts.
That just sucks. I hope you get a better unit than the ones you had.
wow, I was hoping it would last longer, thank for update
I still have a Vue and no problems
My Keurig 2.0 lasted me 7 years without ever descaling it
My Keurig K-Elite worked perfectly for 18 months until the Descale came on. After descaling, it starts, then shuts off immediately and completely. Fix?
How about the keypad, going Rouge, preference changed alone, still won't start.
I've previously dealt with the micro switch on the lid and the thermostat.
It's a k920.
I have had to return to already for faulty coffee brewing and this is my third one. But I'm still having leakage issues from the top of the pods splashing around the perimeter . Calling Karen corporate does no good because they're Malaysian call center either acts like they don't understand what I'm asking or don't want to deal with the problem and I cannot get corporate on the line to answer my questions
My keurig is flowing with any water 💦 can u help yes I did all the descale and all it’s not working please help me
I still have mine since we bought it brand new 12:20
I think we acquired it around 2017. But not for sure exactly.
I had the K Supreme Plus. While it was running a brew one morning, I accidentally knocked into the water tank, and the tank lifted slightly off the base. It stopped dripping. I tried to brew another cup and it would not start up. Unplugged and plugged it in. It still wouldn't start and has never worked again.
There are videos to fix your issue. He actually talks about it in this video. You need to take it apart, it’s not too bad, I’ve done it a handful of times. You’ll need to press a reset button using a paper clip
@@natertots17 thanks for your suggestions. I already replaced it with another one. I recently started grinding coffee beans and using the reusable pod included with the machine and actually enjoy it so much more than the plastic/aluminum pods I used to buy. I kept putting it off thinking it would be a hassle but it's really quick.
I enjoyed it for a year but now the k supreme + is garbage. I only use triple bold setting, and it cuts out. It doesn’t matter how much I descale it. I was sick of wasting k cups and time descaling.
Now I’ve got the ninja pods and grounds. The coffee is just ok next to the k supreme + but at least it works, and won’t cost an arm and a leg to replace when it breaks.
I’ll never buy a premium keurig again.
I have the Keurig K-Cafe Single Serve K-Cup Coffee, Latte and Cappuccino Maker, Dark Charcoal. It’s leaking water whenever I try to make coffee. It’s a mess of water. Any ideas? I called customer service. No help.
QUESTION: Can I just ignore the descale light and run a cleaning soultion thru it (K Supreme) every couple months? I don't mind the descale light on.
I was wondering too!
Maybe, but I think I have read that your coffee make may stop working. I can not confirm this,
I just bought the keurig 1500 and the coffee taste like hot water absolutely no coffee taste. I’m sending it back and getting the elite.
K duo given problems. Stopped pumping water.
Well, thanks for the information. I'll stay away from Keurig.
My wife is on her 10th or 11th Keurig.
They're all crap! Made to break....
My wife (bless her) is a glutton for punishment. Her insanity is buying the same crap product and expecting a different outcome.
Me, I have a 16yr old Mr Coffee machine that works every single morning.
Every morning is a good morning for me.
Have a great day!!!!
Get the elite it is a much more reliable coffee maker
Keurig is a great way to make over priced mediocre coffee. Go pour over or french press if you want better coffee for less money.
The K85 Essentials is a piece of crap. We've barely had it for a year with light use, cleaning every couple weeks, descaled it often, and it just went kaput.
Ninja coffee makers are going to be getting my money from here on out.
So basically just buy a coffee maker.
What a pointless waste of 35 seconds; just get on with it already!
