Buy newest model, not used! And expect watery coffee:
I researched the Keurig before buying a used one on E-bay so I knew, being used, it must have one of several known problems but I took my chances since I couldn't afford to buy a new one. Actually, by the time the auction ended, I was praying someone would outbid me but they didn't. Luckily, the problem it had is only a minor annoyance: it suddenly turns itself off. It's annoying because it takes a few minutes to heat the water when you first turn it on but unless you are in the middle of a brewing cycle or... more info
The think leaks water everywhere:
I had one of the lower-end models for quite a while, and loved it. I decided to get this fancier machine and donate the older one to a friend. I am so disappointed in this machine. From day 1 it has leaked water all over the counter every time you use it. And the vibration as it is pulling in water to make a cup of coffee is so violent, that the coffee cup actually will "walk" off the machine unless I hold it in place. A search on Google for "keurig leaking" shows that this is a common problem.... more info
End Product Is Great, Hardware Not So Much:
My wife purchased the B60 model for our home in December of '09. After 2 months of use it stopped working as it was designed - pump failure. I returned it and decided to upgrade to the B70 model. After only three days of use the B70 began having the same issues as the B60, the pump would run for about 2 minutes and the unit would shutoff. Again, I returned the brewer and replaced it with another B70 unit. For roughly two weeks our third brewer worked flawlessly. Now, we're returning it for a fourth.... more info
Great WHEN it wants to work:
This B70 'Platinum' brewer was a wedding gift - - - excuse me, the FIRST one of these we got was a wedding gift. I am now on my 4th B70, and the new replacement (having arrived two weeks ago) is now not working properly. Don't get me wrong, I think this is an ingenious idea, and when it works is absolutely fabulous. I love the different K-cups that are available, and have purchased many different blends. Problem is, these things break down so quickly that there is no way I could ever recommend purchasing... more info
