I don't drink tea, or hot chocolate either. So really, I have no reason to purchase one.

Yep. I use mine for the cup of hot water and just use regular tea bags. Makes the perfect serving size everytime. LOL

I just put mine in the closet, and pulled out my old Mr Coffee. For tons of reasons it did not work for me. I have the single cup kind. I will give you examples

1. I add a creamer that is sweet, or sometimes milk and stevia, but I don't like it to sweet and often I do not get it exactly right, so with the pot I would be able to add a little more coffee to make my cup less sweet. Not possible with the One cup machine.

2. I found that I was hanging around my kitchen longer than normal waiting to finish that half or third of a cup so I could make a new cup. Normally I would have topped off the coffee and headed up to my office

3 I like a large cup and even on the setting that allows for the most water it would not really result in a large cup. Overfilling it would often result in water pooling out of the bottom of the unit.

4 I drink decaf which limits where you can buy it, it is more expensive and forget about finding flavors.

5. I bought the four pack of fillable cups that they sell at Joanns' they did not let enough water through, so my husband drilled a few holes in them, still did not work that great.

I will say I did drink less each morning, since often I would not want to bother making a second or third cup

6. I bought the fillable cup sold at Kohls for the machine, that worked for a while, and now regardless if I use the prepackaged coffee cups or the refillable one it sporadically only fills the cup half way.

7. If you want just a scooosh more from your already used coffee pod it is a challenge. If you only add a little bit of water to the machine, it seems not to sense it so it will not run through, you have to almost completely fill it to just get a little extra coffee. So I would add a bunch of water, stand there with my cup to get the little extra, then have a second cup ready to catch the rest of the light collared brown water

It really became comical and a big waste of time each morning with me trying to think about ways to out smart the machine because I wanted to add a little more to my current cup or get a big cup. So I finally gave up and went back to my old coffee maker. I think that this machine would work best for someone that drank just one medium size cup, drank it black and never tried to top off their current cup.

Has anyone ever forgotten to put their cup under the machine after turning it on. LOL I did that several times and what a freaking mess that is, especially early in the morning when you are not fully awake and the dog is in a hurry to go out.

Don't think I've ever done that yet. lol But I can see how it would be a mess.

Shelby&Seymour · 12-03-2013, 10:01 AM

I knew I could count on my Yt friends with this one!!! I think I may consider a bunn... Or something without a carafe..

mimimomo · 12-03-2013, 10:08 AM

I've been wanting to get a Keurig for the longest time & almost got the K75 for $110 which includes My K-Cup & 60 K-Cups from Costco for Black Friday. But I read all the mixed reviews from amazon, how it breaks down, Keurig said it only lasts 3 years max, pump problems, not brewing right (only half a cup) etc...didn't get it. They also had some good pointers, like using no water filter & use bottled water instead, cleaning the machine w/vinegar (descaling), something about tweaking the pin that goes in the hole of the My K-cup filter if the coffee is not strong enough. I know what they're talking about bc that happened to me when I used my aunt's keurig, the coffee was not brewing right, guess I needed to pull down the pin or something.
If you're going to get one, get it from Costco since they have the best no questions asked return policy. Hope it goes on sale again, that was a really good deal, it's back up to $149 again.

More times that I care to mention! But, the little bucket thing that you sit the cup on caught the mess, Thank Goodness! But, I still love my Keurig. I'm a one cup a day, no topping off coffee drinker, though.

we must have a different machine, mine just has a flat surface where you put the cup so it is not forgiving. This is sort of funny (now but not at the time), one very groggy morning, I forgot to put the cup under the machine, and did not notice until the whole thing brewed, so it dripped all over my counter and into the draw and cupboard below. I was desperate for my cuppa decaf

so before cleaning up the mess I took the machine and moved it to a dry area in the kitchen. I filled the little reusable plastic cup with the coffee and started walking toward the machine, my foot caught on the rug so I stumbled a little, the top was not down on the cup so the grounds flew all over the place. So now I have a dripping wet mess on one side of the kitchen and ground coffee all over the other side of the kitchen and Lola is running through it all thinking it must be a treat. My day was off to a rough start

Now that you mention it, mine has the bucket too. Forgot about that.

LOL LOL!! I wish I could have been a fly on the wall for that one. I think putting that thing in the closet was a good idea! LOL!

Yeah, the little bucket is optional. If you use a tall cup you can not use it and just sit the cup on the counter. But, only if you like to walk on the wild side.

Yes you are right. I take it off to use my tall cup. Ima wild woman!!

jeane · 12-03-2013, 01:48 PM

Use my k cup. That way you can use your own coffee beans or ground coffee. I would not be without mine. I drink between 2 -5 cups a day

Christinee · 12-03-2013, 01:49 PM

Shelby&Seymour · 12-06-2013, 02:43 AM
