Great for one or two people!
August 9, 2016
Just the right size for me in my office at work.For more than a couple of people the water reservoir would empty too quickly I'd think, as it only holds 40oz (just enough for five 8oz cups).It requires the reservoir to be refilled when the water level gets to where only 8-10 ounces remain. This means you can only make 3 or 4 cups before you have to refill it. Fine for just me, but not practical for more than one or two people to share.
I love this brewer...consistentlygives a great cup of coffee...
March 24, 2016
This Keurig Brewing System is great. When our old one broke we bought this one. Our old one you had to fill your cup with water and pour it into the top of the brewer. This brewer has a water reservoir that holds enough water to make about 6 cups of coffee depending on the strength of the cup you brew. It gives you the option to make a 6, 8 or 10 oz cup. It also comes with a carafe so you can just make a whole carafe of coffee at once if you want. I love that it gives so many options. We use this brewer constantly each day and always get a consistently great cup of coffee. It uses K-Cups and they come in many different flavors. I would definitely recommend this brewer for anyone who likes a great cup of coffee.
Great system!
March 16, 2016
I've been using the classic Keurig single-cup system for years so finally getting the 2.0 was a huge upgrade for me! At first glance, the system is much sleeker than the old system I had. The water reservoir has a filter and even a little light built in (for ease of seeing water level or for ambiance, I am not sure which!) The display screen is a touch screen where you can adjust whether you want a little or slightly bigger single cup, or even the selection where you brew a whole pot of coffee! The carafe setting, which lets you brew a whole pot, produces enough for three good sized cups of coffee, maybe 2 if you are using a travel mug size. Like the other systems, you can brew just hot water, but it does ask you to confirm that you just want hot water before it dispenses. The preheat cycle is a bit faster on this system than my old one, so I was pleased there as well.One thing I would caution: Be careful how you position the pot when you brew a whole pot of coffee. I didn't position it right once and got a bit of leaking as the pot brewed. You also have to use a bit of force to get the carafe sized K-Cups all the way in to ensure that the lid closes completely. (Again, not doing so will also cause some leaking.) Despite these issues, I am very pleased with the system and will probably use it every day until it simply can't brew any longer!
I just love it. I think it is the best Keurig ...
February 13, 2016
I just love it. I think it is the best Keurig system out there. It uses both K-cups and the Karafe size K-cup as well. You may also use your own favorite grind in both sizes. I find it the best of both worlds. This unit dispenses both 8 oz and 10 oz size cups of water so one can make cup-a-soup with it as well.This Keurig Coffee Machine does nothing but add to the beauty of your kitchen. It makes preparing coffee a breeze.

February 11, 2016
It's a shame this product is getting such bad reviews, it does exactly what it says it does, brews coffee. I had the K45 and I like the K350 better. It's more quiet, has strength control, multiple cup sizes, a pot and it looks better.I will note that this one does not have a clock and you cannot change the LED color in the water tank, that is only in the better models, I didn't realize this at first but it is my fault for not reading the entire description.If you're worried about what kcups and can and can't use, don't. Just go to ebay and type in Clever Clip, it's $5.99, you clip it in the machine and solves the whole issue. I know I know, corporate greed or whatever people want to call it, I get it, but they obviously didn't care too much or there wouldn't be such an easy way around it.All in all it's a pretty nice machine for $99.
This reusable cup works beautifully with the 2.0!
January 18, 2015
This review is for everyone that wants to brew there own coffees, or teas in the new Keurig 2.0 machine. I was frustrated like everyone else with the Keurig 2.0's requirement to use there proprietary single use disposable cups.BUT! I discovered the solution to using your own loose coffee of Your Choice without doing anything special to trick the machine.I found the "Perfect Pod EZ- CUP 2.0 which works beautifully with my Kurig 2.0. These cups use a disposable thin filter which slips inside the reusable plastic cups. I found this product at Bed, Bath & Beyond for 14.99, comes with 25 filters. The disposable filters are 4.99 for a 100. I have been using these for a week now, and have had about 30 cups of MY coffee with joy, and no problem with the 2.0. Very clean to use these. When your done brewing your cup, just pull out the disposable filter and throw it out. It's ready to load the next filter, and your next scoop of coffee for your next cup.There are other cups that say they fit in the 2.0, but they don't work. This one works! Works for K cups & 2.0 Brewers!No more Green Mountain cups! The skew number on the packaging of these 30816 16129.This cup is a pink cup. Be sure to get the right one. Bed Bath & Beyond skew on there price tag is 1032112. (See attached picture.)Hopefully this helps you with the Keurig 2.0.

Still working great 3 years later
December 17, 2015
All the complaints are true about this coffeepot, but I still love it. It does not keep the coffee cup hot and the lid does not open when I press the button. I just press the button with one finger and depress the back of the lid at the same time and it opens every time. I bought it 3 years ago and will buy again when it dies. I used to have a one cup Mr Coffee and it lasted me for many years, I just loved it. When it died I bought another and it died within 3 months. Then I bought a Black & Decker and that died in two months. When I found this I figured it too would die within months but the price was reasonable so I took my chances and it's still working three years later. I have three cups of coffee daily and one cup machine is just perfect for me..
made to a great temperature every time
April 6, 2015
Wow I gotta say I was surprised. One full cup of coffee, made to a great temperature every time. I use this to make coffee the old fashioned way but this makes my espresso while I prepare other stuff.

My only gripe (but I've since fixed it) is that the mesh filter inside is NOT enough to get a smooth roast, there WILL be coffee grounds in it no matter what. However, I bought 99 cent paper filters for normal machines, wrapped it around the mesh filter, added my roast and voila! No more grounds as it's now double filtered. I literally have no complaint so far, this is awesome for the price!
Works better than Kuerig
October 5, 2014
I bought this to replace a brand new Keurig that I stupidly paid a HUNDRED dollars for thinking since I only made ONE cup of coffee per day it would last me at lease 20 years considering the high price and the fact my last coffee maker cost ten bucks and lasted 10 years! Well, the Keurig started having problems during its 3rd cup and died on it's fourth cup! I bought this because it said you could use the k kup pods. well, whoever said that was an idiot, they don't fit, BUT because I had 50 K Kups left, I tore one open and poured it into this little machines basket and VOILA' a great tasting cup of coffee even faster than the stupid Keurig! Now, if it lasts me ten years I'll be happy!
Excellent for hot tea
December 21, 2013
I had almost stopped drinking hot tea because I hated using the microwave or stove top to boil water for one cup of tea but this unit is perfect ... just remove the mesh coffee basket and within 90 - 120 seconds you have a cup of hot but not boiling hot water. It is just the right temp to drink without having to wait for it to cool off. I usually put the teabag in the cup but I saw that other reviewers put it in the mest basket. It is a slow drip so not the best option for things that need hot water added all at once, like oatmeal, but I can heat the water into a measuring cup and then pour directly into a hot cereal or hot chocolate powder. The thing I miss most on it is there is not viewable water reservoir as coffee makers have so you have to measure the water before pouring it into the reservoir. An auto shut off would be helpful also but even if I forget there is not water inside to worry about boiling away. It is one of the best spontaneous purchases I've made in a long time...well worth the price. So far I have no complaints about any feature.
Worth more than what I paid for it - very good value.
July 19, 2012
This is the perfect solution for anyone who enjoys on-demand fresh brew, an occasional cup or who has no counter space for a larger unit. We already owned a 12-cup, much more elaborate electric coffee maker when I started searching for a Father's Day gift for my husband. He really likes coffee but not every day. And, he's the only one in our home who drinks it.
Everything comes in a sturdy box suitable for gift wrapping. I gave it to him with various bags of gourmet ground coffee. Had I thought about it, I might have added a personalized mug, just to make the gift more special.
The coffee brews in just a few minutes to the perfect temperature - no waiting for cool down. The white ceramic mug is a nice value-add; now my husband has a mug just for him. He likes the size of the mug handle - lots of room for man-sized fingers. The mug has no markings or label. You can add the amount of water for brew strength and the serving size you prefer. There are level marks inside the water reservoir - 8, 10, 12 and 14 ounces.
The reuseable metal mesh basket filter is generously sized as well. There is more than enough room for extra grounds. This is an open-top filter and is not replaceable with k-cups nor similar disposable coffee pods.
Even though it comes with a mug, the drip area is spacious; any mug will easily fit. The unit is short enough to store on a shelf inside our kitchen cabinet. There are three rubber feet, each about the size of a pencil eraser. These keep the coffee maker up off the counter a little bit and also deter skidding around. The entire unit is on the light side. The metal basket filter, filter housing, removable drip tray and grate survived our dishwasher. The mug survived our dishwasher and microwave. The coffee maker is black and grey plastic. The black electric cord is 27.5 inches long, including the plug. There is no cord keeper. This unit does not turn itself off. Everything is made in China.

Good, but not great...
May 23, 2016
I'm not a morning person, having to make a pot of coffee in the morning is a monumental task. The Keurig is great because I can slap in a coffee pod, press a button, and have coffee... No fiddling around with water, filters, coffee, measuring, etc...However, you would have thought that Keurig would work on improving features of their product instead of merely trying to prevent people from using 3rd party k-cups... My typical coffee mugs hold anywhere from 16-20oz of coffee... The largest size you can brew at once is 10oz... So every morning I have to go through a brew cycle, open & close lid, and go through another brew cycle... Just like on the old model keurigs...At first the coffee didn't see hot enough, but I always turned the Keurig off when I wasn't using it. I discovered when turning it on, even after it says it's ready to use, wait a minute or two more and you will have a hotter cup of coffee. I can only assume the water is still absorbing the heat from the element inside.Other than that I've really had no issues. I have had a couple k-cups that were over-filled or something wrong with them where they wouldn't let coffee flow through, but that is not Keurig's fault. I like how easy it is to remove the pod area to clean it.If Keurig really wants to make a better product they will ditch the DRM with the K-Cups, allow a user-adjustable water temperature setting, and also allow a user to select a coffee cup size up to 20oz (or more) in their usual 4oz increments... The tiny coffee cup sizes are pointless, who drinks 2oz of coffee???
My first Keurig
April 25, 2016
This was my first Keurig. I've liked it so far and Keurig's customer service has been great. The only thing I'd say I've learned is that I use more water than I'd expect. On an average day, I have 2 cups of coffee at about 14 oz each. That said, I empty about half of the reservoir each day. Not a big deal but think I'd rather have a larger capacity on my next one. The only other thing I wish it would do is offer the option to brew a 14 oz cup of coffee using the standard sized K cup. That may sound like it would make weak coffee but I end up running a 10 oz, then have to open it up and hit another 4 oz to fill my coffee cup. I use the reusable K cups and it tastes great, just wish I could select 14 oz and let it make a cup rather than having to open it up, close it again and have it brew the last 4 oz's. Overall, I'm happy with it though. Seems to work great and looks nice on the counter. Definitely happy I made the move from my regular old coffee maker.
Clogs up too frequently.
January 5, 2016
Bought this for Christmas. We may return it. It makes good coffee, 1 cup or a 4-cup carafe at a time, but after only 4 or 5 cups have been brewed, it clogs up so badly with grounds that the coffee gets cold by the time it finishes brewing.Keurig includes an orange gizmo with a little bladder that can be used to flush out the clogging grounds with warm water. That works, and the brewer returns to normal every time (so far), but this is way too much trouble for a product that's supposed to provide speed and convenience.We are using this device exactly as instructed, with K-Cups from the variety pack sold by Amazon. I can't tell yet whether some types of K-Cups are causing the problem, but I'll soon find out ... if something changes our view, I'll be back and update my review or post a new one.UPDATE: Feb 11, 2016 -- after 5 or 6 clogs had to be cleared, the machine no longer seems to be clogging up at all ... I don't know why that is ... same machine, same-branded pods, etc. But now it's working well. I'd give 5 stars now, but I'm holding off to see if the clogging problems come back(!).
I love my Keurig
December 17, 2015
I love my Keurig, the first one I had lasted 7 years. I got this one and I like it, but a few things I don't like is: It only uses Keurig k cups which is terrible because I buy the mixed cups and they are not always from Keurig, so I can't use them now in my Keurig, It doesn't get as hot as the old one and you can't set it like the old one. The Carafe that came with it is awful, does not keep it hot at all, cheap plastic. I think it takes away from how great the Keurig name of quality is. I heard people comment on how loud it is but that is not that bad. All in all I am glad I got . I got mine from Amazon and was very happy with timeline on shipping and delivery. Amazon is wonderful!!!!!!!
A great new product for our kitchen!
August 17, 2015
We finally decided to purchase the new Keurig 2.0. We were hesitant because of the mixed reviews we have read. However, with that said, we like it (or the majority of it). With the Keurig 2.0 we love the feature of brewing an entire pot of coffee. For my husband, that is a need some mornings. :) I like how easy it is to make a cup of hot water. Anytime you close the machine without a pod it automatically prompts you asking if you want hot water. This is also a great feature for the kids...we let them use this feature to make instant oatmeal. We also love the digital screen. It is so easy to use and choose the different cup sizes. The one down side to the new machine is that the largest cup you can make is 10oz. Our former Keurig would allow us to make a 16oz cup of coffee. Outside of that, we love our new Keurig 2.0!Thanks Keurig, for the free pods for this review.
Great machine
August 13, 2015
Great coffee machine for two people to share. My wife and I got this so we didn't have to waste full pots of coffee in the morning. The carafe is perfect for the both of us, and we bought an after-market k-carafe to use our own coffee grinds, which works great. I can understand how people are upset by not being able to transition older k-cups to the 2.0 models, however we find the 2.0 variety packs to be amazing. The only complaint is that the base/drain plate does not securely lock into the machine, and can be easily moved if it is bumped.

Not bad at all
April 11, 2017
Great for what I needed it for, a cheap since serve coffee maker for a trip to Vegas! Small enough to fit it the luggage, allowed me to have fresh coffee first thing in the morning with out having to go to a coffee chain or restaurant
I like to brew 1 cup at a time
March 25, 2016
I'm the only coffee drinker in our home. I like to brew 1 cup at a time. Love my Kuerig but felt guilty about the waste and cost of the pods. I tried a pour-over but the coffee was too weak. I bought this little thing on a whim based on the reviews. This little machine is perfect!. Simple, easy to clean, and brews a great cup of coffee. And so cheap. They could double the price, and still sell me one. My only suggestion they add automatic turn off, in case the fool using it forgets to turn it off. (That would be me)
Decent for the Price
June 5, 2015
This coffee maker is a great little one shot coffee maker for the price, and although I have been using it for about a week, I can see why it has received its great ratings.

Pros:
Inexpensive (reason for 4 stars instead of 3)
Simple
It Works

Cons:
Doesn't hold a lot of coffee (2-3 Tablespoons depending on the grind)
Steam that comes out of the top, can and will cause severe burns if not careful.
14 Ounce Water Capacity
5.5" Cup Capacity (With Drip Tray Removed) (No Travel Mug)
Slow to brew

Since I have received this coffee maker I have changed my daily routine, I get up take my shower get dressed, then I start the coffee, while I wait for the coffee, I brush my hair and teeth, finish getting ready and put my shoes on. It take a good 5 mins to brew 12 ounces of water. I usually fill the coffee maker up with 16, then noticed that 2 ounces leak out as part of an overflow measure. However after five minutes I only have 12 ounces of water, 2 ounces continually remain in the coffee maker. (Reason for wanting to give 3 stars)

All in all its a good little coffee maker for the price. I can't say I would spend more then $10 on it though.
Great product for the price.
August 19, 2014
I've had this coffee maker for just a few weeks, but have been using it quite regularly. The coffee maker comes with a white mug, but you can use your own if you so prefer. It does not make the greatest cup of coffee, but it's ok. I use it at work and just store it in the cupboard. Very easy to take out, make a cup of coffee and put it back in the cupboard. It's not the fastest maker out there, but works for me. I love the fact that coffee comes out hot, not barely hot. Keep in mind, after you finished making your cup of joe, that there will be hot steam coming out when you open the top to wash the filter. Either wait a couple minutes before opening it, or be very careful - you don't want to get burned! Most of the time I have to press the button (to open the top) several times before it actually opens, but never had to pry it open with anything. Last thing I want to mention is that there is quite a bit of residue in the bottom of the cup when I use this coffee maker. I haven't tried it with a paper filter or coarser coffee grind - I just don't drink the coffee to the last drop - leave a bit on the bottom. Other than the faulty button and the residue on the bottom of the cup - I don't have any complaints!
1-Cup like it ought to be
April 5, 2014
I've had this little coffee maker less than a week, so you'll get no valid information about longevity from me.
However, it makes a *good* cup of coffee & *quickly*.
In addition the brew basket lifts in & out easily, cleans up the same way.
Oh, and on the No Auto Off issue, though I'd never recommend leaving it turned ON,
appears that leaving it ON a minute or two -but not three- will not burn out the heating element.
As it finishes brewing, mine makes rude noises, Whusssss KaPoW! there's no mistaking the fact that
Your coffee is ready .....NOW.

UPDATE - 5/8/14 - I was reading other reviews, yes, there is a problem with top lid lifting by itself
when you press the "open" button. Looked at it, it's spring loaded, and is supposed to pop-up by itself.
Open lid, use the button, see plastic part that holds the lid closed move back & forth.
It's a little too long, doesn't retract far enough, especially once you've brewed coffee and
it expands from heat (??). I took my tiny keychain knife, and wittled maybe an 1/10" off the length.
Still not perfect, but better, I may have to take off another 1/16.
Oh... have managed to forget & leave it on for 30 minutes after brewing stopped, did not harm the machine.

Update 12/18/14 -- Still working fine with daily use 1x to 3x a day.
BTW - In case you didn't notice, there's a secondary basket beneath the nylon coffee filter that wants cleaning regularly.

Don't throw out the declogger piece
April 26, 2017
Product works for the most part. Mine hasn't broken yet, with daily use multiple times a day. The only issue I continue to run into, is that the nozzle that punctures the foil on top of the k cups seems to get clogged very easily. It comes with a "declogger" for lack of a better term--an orange plastic device that you fill up with water, and use it as a suction cup to clear the clog. It's a good thing I didn't throw it out because I didn't know what it was at first. You can also push a k-cup down before closing the top, which sometimes relieves the vacuum that I think sucks the grounds up into the nozzle. Yes there are some k-cups that it doesn't register, but sometimes if you repeatedly open/close the top it stops caring whether or not they're "keurig approved". You can also cut the foil off of an approved k-cup and just place it on top of the non-approved ones.
Original Keurig maker was much, much better
December 11, 2016
I admit I enjoy Keurig coffee makers and my original one finally went kaput. I bought this one and ended up having to give away nearly $200.00 worth of K-cups because even though these K-cups state "For use with Keurig coffee makers" they would not work as the new one would not recognize the K-cup. If you buy another brand of K-cup other than Keurig coffee make sure there is a "purple" outline on the K-cup or this one will not allow you to use it.

September 14, 2016
Spend the extra money on a better Keurig, The emblem reader is annoying and we had to tape part of the NON-KCUP KCUPS to the sensor so it would brew non keurig branded coffee.It every once in a while would freeze up on the touch screen and have to be unplugged and replugged back in, this has had moderate use and the machine is now stuck on the power screen and will not function anymore.
Not a good office Keurig
December 17, 2015
I ordered this Keurig for my office to replace an old one that broke. I like that it has a couple of extra modes, you can choose strong coffee and there is even a hot chocolate mode-and it's amazing! I don't like that you can not set a timer for auto on/off. It automatically shuts off after a while and then you have to turn it back on and wait for the water to heat up again. I had a timer on the old one so it would turn on at 7:45 and shut off at 5:15 automatically. I haven't tried to brew a non-Keurig k-cup yet, but I'm not too worried, apparently all you have to do is place a clean k-cup lid on top of the off brand cup and the scanner will read the Keurig brand.
Keuring or not at all...
November 9, 2015
Disappointed that the base even removed does not allow for a "to-go" type mug to fit under it...this system only takes Keurig K-cups; so don't try to use any other brand you get an "oops" message that says the cup is not an authorized product...not the easiest to set up and get the size cup, etc. that you want...not horrible but just okay.
Beware of the coffee restrictions with this new brewer :(
August 30, 2014
I love the Keurig brewers but this machine is a big disappointment to me due to the fact that it completely controls and dictates what kcups you can and can't use with it. It absolutely won't accept the inserts so you can use your favorite brand of coffee; it won't accept many of the kcups currently on the market that actually may be one of your favorites (like Tim Horton, Gevalia, SanFrancisco Bay, Cameron's, etc) because they have not been approved by Keurig even though they will work in all the brewers by Keurig up until this 2.0 model and won't even accept Keurig approved Kcups purchased before about July since it will only accept those who say Keurig Brewed on the top of the cup. This brewer reads the lids - I was told if I put an "older" approved kcup in the machine it would say "oops" and I could call their 800# presumably to be able to be talked through an option that might let me use one of their approved coffees. This feels like a giant control effort to prevent people from enjoying their brewers unless you also use their coffees. Sooooo - if you happen to like a brand of coffee they don't approve of you will have to choose between their new brewer and all it has to offer or your coffee. I chose my coffee; there are a good many brewers that will still let me use my favorite brand of kcup that I don't need their new brewer. And given time, I expect the other coffee makers will also offer what this one does (like the option of making either a single cup of coffee or a 4 cup carafe of coffee with their new kcup size) without dictating what coffee you enjoy in it. It seems that Keurig would prefer to sell these brewers to anyone who wants one, while enjoying the approved coffee to those who choose to drink it, or will actually let people enjoy their brewer and their favorite coffee even if Keurig doesn't approve of their coffee. I expect there will be others who did what I did - bought the machine only to realize this after I got it home and quickly realized I'd have to give up my favorite coffee to keep it, or throw out 95% of the kcups I had that were purchased before about July of this year. I returned it - don't tell me what coffee I can like, Keurig - the other makers of single serve brewers that accept your kcups don't tell me what I have to like to use their brewers. They will be the ones who sell their brewers while yours get returned and they will be glad to let me enjoy my favorite coffee in them.

Buyer Beware
April 11, 2016
Works as described and brews a decent cup of coffee, using ground coffee of your choice. Will brew from 8 to 14 ounces.
Observed 2 problems, one of them serious:
1) There is a lingering metallic taste, even after several recommended flushing and vinegar procedures. This seems to be typical of Chinese produced items. There is also a strong "plastic" odor when the unit is hot.
2) As noted in other reviews, the cover tends to be forcefully ejected from the unit. This occurs when the unit is used 2-3 times in a short period of of time. Evidently, the heat produced softens the lid, allowing the small hinge pegs securing it to the base to pull out. A spring-loaded plunger, depressed when the lid is closed, then launches the lid off of the unit with a force that could cause injury.

November 15, 2015
I like the idea of this product more than the actual execution. I bought this when I moved in with someone who didn't drink coffee, and I needed a quick and inexpensive replacement for my 10 cup maker that was broken in the move. I would always make more coffee than I needed, and I thought that a one-cup model would cut down on waste and would result in fresher coffee every time. While that was the case, there were other issues that are leading me to return to a more traditional model.

Pros:
-less waste
-one cup is quicker to brew than ten, so it is technically faster
-small footprint in the kitchen-it doesn't require a lot of counter space
-reusable filter
-inexpensive

Cons:
-messy. The filter requires dumping and washing after each use, and grounds can get everywhere. Also, grounds get inside the water well inside the unit, as well as under the filter holder. I usually have to take the entire unit apart and wash it, lest there be grounds and sediment in my coffee
-you are limited on the size of the cup of coffee you can brew. No filling a 16oz travel mug with this machine
-the machine is slow brewing. It takes approximately three minutes to brew one cup of coffee...which is a lot if you are on your way out the door in the morning
-coffee quality. There has been sediment in every cup of coffee made with this machine, no matter what type of coffee I use.

If you don't make coffee a lot, I would recommend this item. If you are like me, and everyday drinker who enjoys several cups, stick with more traditional methods.
Good cheap coffee maker.

It makes a good cup of coffee. However, there are a couple of design flaws that bother me. First - the power ON/OFF switch is located on a side at the bottom of the unit. That makes it impossible to use it with only one hand. You have to hold the coffee maker with one hand while pushing the switch with the other. It will make more sense to position the switch so it faces upward. Second - occasionally, the top lid pops up and separates from the unit while coffee is being made. I guess the hit and plastic expansion has something to do with it. Overall I am satisfied and when this unit will finally break I will get another one....you simply can't beat the price.
Great for the Price! But...

To be honest, I would like to leave five stars for this nice little coffee maker; In fact, I like it so much that I bought a second one for home a few days after I bought the first for my office. The water seems to come out at just the right temperature and so it makes a great cup of coffee! The reusable filter is very easy and convenient to use and clean. That said, the electric cord is so short (24 inches) that I had to spend more money for an extension cord for one of the coffee makers, and I really wish this little machine came with a timer to turn itself off. I am afraid that someday I will leave it on all day, and that's not good. I would have gladly paid extra to have these added conveniences and safety measures and the great cup of coffee that this little machine turns out.
heating element burned out
April 21, 2015
For the first two weeks, this little machine worked just fine. It took about 7 minutes to brew each cup, but otherwise it made some decent coffee. Then, one day, I may have waited a minute or so too long to shut off the machine, and the heating element blew. I'm replacing it with a similar model from another company which has an auto-shut-off feature.

Nope. No way. Terrible.
November 4, 2016
We have had this less than 6 months and it has been nothing but problems from day 1. The whole 2.0 system is flawed, I recommend sticking with the original.Good luck finding coffee that fits in the compartment.Good luck not descaling every 2 weeks.Good luck actually getting a full cup of coffee.Also, I hope you have time to wait 30 minutes for the very last drop to come out.BOOOOOO.

July 31, 2016
I've had this coffee maker less than a year. From the beginning, the digital display would occasionally go blank and I'd have to unplug the machine then plug it back in and the display would start working again. Recently, it quit working all together. When the power is on, the display is lit up but blank. I can no longer reset and get it to start working again by unplugging the machine. It's been plugged in to a GFCI outlet the entire time I've had it.
Tricky
January 26, 2016
Had to return it to Keurig because it stopped working after making about 10 cups of coffee. But, Keurig was great about it.They sent me a new unit quickly and two boxes of free coffee for inconvenience. Very, very nice customer service on their part. The new one direct from the company works fine. Also, you can't use all style K-cups in it (but, you can jerry-rig it to make it work). I think as long as you purchase quality products from Bed, Bath & Beyond or Keurig you will have no problem. More coffees are coming out to work in the 2.0 system. I wouldn't buy them from Amazon, I think they must throw in old-style products in their mixed blends. I'm better at it now, careful what I buy for the system. No problems.
I really wanted to like this product
January 8, 2016
I really wanted to like this product, I had one of the early Keurig’s and used it daily. Seeing that they added the carafe I thought would be a good addition. Unfortunately they went a bit too far with the restrictions and the machine itself isn’t even close to the quality of my original Keurig. It seems they took away from the quality of the machine to invest in optical sensors to restrict you from using other brands of coffee. I can understand Keurig wanting to protect themselves but there is a tipping point where I am uninterested in spending my money for their protection. I would estimate this brewer last about a year and will start to have usability issues. At that point I think I will be done with Keurig. In addition the ease of use isn’t there like it was before. Having to constantly select different brew types from a cheaply made touch screen is annoying. Overall disappointed and giving two stars (vs one star) because I will continue to use this brewer until it breaks. My recommendations for anyone that likes Keurig and wants the ability to make a pot of coffee is to buy a separate machine that is properly designed for brewing larger amounts.My message to Keurig would be to go back to the single brew that you were successful at and drop the restrictions. If your pods are properly priced and are better than your competitors you don’t need to concentrate so heavily on proprietary restrictions.
be prepared to buy all new k cups.
May 13, 2015
My old Keurig finally broke and I had to replace it. Not too long ago the local grocery store had a mega sale on k cups and I stocked up. The new Keurig is much nicer than my last model where I had to pour the water in each time and it only made one cup at a time. I think I paid around $150 to $200 for the old one several years ago. This unit is a big upgrade at a lower price but the big minus is that it is not compatible with the old k cups and I had to get all new ones and at the grocery store I had trouble finding ones that say they are compatible with the new system. So for now I ordered a bunch directly from Keurig it was a pain.
A gimmick...and not a very good one at that!
September 8, 2014
I didn't purchase my Keurig 2.0 on Amazon. I received it as a gift. I thought, however, that I'd take the opportunity to review this product anyway because it wouldn't MATTER where I purchased it....it would be just as much a piece of crap. I had a Keurig...a nice one, with lots of features that I liked. For example, I could use any kind of K-cup out there and I found one that I really, really liked. I can't use that one anymore. Keurig has made the new 2.0 so that you can't use the little cup that held regular coffee. And it has to be an "official" k-cups because the new 2.0 reads the lettering on the rim of the new ones. As far as the carafe? It's a good idea in theory to have a little pot that will brew (supposedly) up to 6 cups of coffee (even more on some of the fancier, more expensive models). But in reality, you can only get a little over 2 regular sized cups of coffee from the carafe. Any more and it would definitely be too weak. The 4-cup setting is really pushing it...in my opinion. And I don't prefer especially strong coffee. In addition, the K-Carafes are expensive - anywhere from $16-$20 for 8 K-Carafes (which is approximately 18-20 cups of coffee.It's a gimmick...and not even a very good one at that. Keurig is trying to dominate the K-cup market and whoever buys this machine will be sucked right into it. I'm on the fence about returning mine, but I haven't quite decided yet.

Lid is stuck and coffee is burned
December 6, 2016
Took it out of the box, set it up, made a coffee, too burned, ick. Same coffee I've been using for a while. Decided to try it again, I can't get it open! The little button on top of the machine is supposed to unhinge the top so you can fill with water and new coffee....nope. Stuck. Brand new. I jiggle it, stick something under the lid, it opens, sighhhhh. Try another coffee, it is burning the coffee. It brews too high. There aren't any adjustments on the machine. Done. Not a good machine.
The other thing I don't like is you can't see the lines in back to ...
September 1, 2016
I bought it because of the low price & because I want it for hot water to make tea. The first one came and the button on the top worked maybe twice then never opened again while pushing the button. I use my fingernail under the lid lip while pushing the button (it's supposed to open automatically when you push the button). I sent that one back thinking it was just a fluke. I got the second one a couple days ago. Same thing, push the button the lid is supposed to open automatically. Worked about 2 times then nothing. This maker does not do what it's designed to do. The other thing I don't like is you can't see the lines in back to know where to fill the maker for the amount of water you want. It's not a very good maker I'm sorry to say but guess you get what you pay for. If you want a cheap maker for coffee or tea & you don't mind using your fingernail to open the lid or having to guesstimate how much water to put in so it doesn't overfill or under fill then this is the maker for you.
attractive design, smaller footprint, reasonably priced....but flawed design/manufacturing and very slow.
January 21, 2016
I wanted to like this coffee maker...attractive design, smaller footprint, reasonably priced, etc. However, It is very slow (takes about 6 minutes to make a cup of coffee using room temperature water from a Berkey water purifier).

After using it, there are some design/manufacturing flaws that warranted a return. You push DOWN on the button on the top to open it, which is supposed to release the catch and a spring pops open the top. However, on my unit, that was rarely the case. Consequently, I had to insert a paring knife between the lid and frame to open it. In addition, the elliptical shape of the front was such that the filter holder could not be removed for cleaning without again inserting a paring knife. It's not clear if mine was just defective but I'm guessing that this is a design flaw that causes many/most units to experience similar problems.
Defeats the purpose of easy clean. It also brews slowly
December 4, 2015
The picture (buy the whole package---mug and Kcup coffee..is very misleading. It does not use kcups. Regular coffee with a reusable filter. Defeats the purpose of easy clean. It also brews slowly...very slowly. I know why the low price.
READ DESCRIPTIONS CAREFULLY
April 14, 2015
I purchased this coffee maker to use when traveling and I'm sure my problem is my own fault for not paying more attention. The ad on Amazon.com shows 30-count K-cups "frequently bought together" with this single serve coffee maker. I therefore assumed that K-cups are used in this machine. THIS COFFEE MAKES DOES NOT USE K-CUPS. I am very disappointed because the most important feature was that I could use K-cups which I have used for years. Now I have to either purchase ground coffee which I do not want to do or donate the pot to charity and purchase a different coffee maker. There were no return instructions in the package and, besides, it's very heavy and would cost too much to send back.

As I said, it's my own fault so I'm stuck. At least I can use the K-cups I bought in my Keurig at home.

The $29 Smart Phone of Coffee Machines
February 9, 2016
I don't like having to make six different decisions every morning just to enjoy a cup of bland coffee that brews at a temperature that barely registers as warm. And that's the trouble with the Keurig... even what it's supposed to do well, it doesnt do well.You turn the thing on, wait for it to preheat (which admittedly is quick) and then lift the lid and insert K-cup or K-caraffe. Then you get to decide to brew 3 oz, or 4 oz, or 10 oz, etc. then decide if you want it "strong." Finally after it gets done making noises like some zoo animal having diarhhea, you get to enjoy a cup of coffee that's right around 85 degrees F.So after a month I went back to my french press. It's worth the time to boil water over actual coffee grounds that steep. It takes less than 10 minutes start to finish, and my coffee tastes as good as anything you'd get at a coffee shop.This machine basically appeals to people who like gadgets and "tech" more than they like good coffee.
Lasted 4 days
September 25, 2015
My 1 1/2 year old Keurig top piece broke off, so I ordered a new K350 2.0 Was excited to try it out, found out it won't accept some older Keurig brand pods, says "not compatible" even though they have the Keurig stamp on them.The one star rating is that the pump stopped pumping. Had six regular size pod coffees and tried 2 of the Carafe size over a 4 day period. Water tank was always close to full, so was not a priming issue. You can normally hear the pump running during the coffee brewing and discharge cycle, but on day 4 it just quit pumping or making noise. Unplugged, reset settings, etc. but got nowhere.Returned it to Amazon, and received full refund. That's the reason I love Amazon and am a Prime Member!
Can't use refillables on this b**ch!!! Don't be deceived!
August 12, 2015
I HATE IT!!!. If I could give this a -5 rating I would do that. This 2.0 was the third Keurig my family has had and I loved the other two. This one sucks! 1.) The description says it's "designed to read the lid of each K-Cup or K-Carafe pod to brew the perfect beverage every time", and "Just look for the Keurig logo on your favorite varieties of K-Cup and K-Carafe pods". IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT WON'T TAKE K-CUPS WITHOUT THE KEURIG LOGO. That means if you want to use other brands that don't have the Keurig logo OR refillable K-cups you're out of luck. It just won't brew it. AND...if you have questions to go to www.keurig.com\oops. EXCUSE ME??? OOOPS??? AS IN "OOOPS I GOT SUCKERED"??? That infuriated me. I will NEVER buy another Keurig again. 2.) The lid to the reservoir doesn't' t have a nice little window to pur the water into, you have to take the whole lid off. Hate that. 3.) The reservoir is NOT lit up like the one I have now. Hate that too.I spent an hour of my life cleaning and setting up this stupid thing, tried to brew a cup of Maxwell House Decaf and got this cute little message that told me to use a K-cup with the Keurig logo. Go screw yourself! And Amazon??? Shame on you for the deceptive description. I will pay much closer attention to the negative reviews next time. You're not the only kid on the block selling lemonade.
Don't buy this.
September 17, 2014
Terrible. Cannot use many of other brand k cups. Cannot use the use your own coffee adapter. None available for the cup or carafe size. The carafe: can't use it to make a pot of hot water; doesn't not keep coffe warm, not insulated. The carafe size coffee k-cups ??? Very expensive. No value in this machine at all.
Stay away from mandated K-cups!!!!!!!!
September 1, 2014
Huge disappointment. The first 2 reviews are dead on. Only specially stamped K-cups can be used for both single serving and carafe. Their own Keurig brand of re-fillable K-cups don't work. Ridiculous. There are so many wonderful roasts out in the world to try. Secondly the carafe isn't thermal; therefore your coffee will be cool when you go for 2nd cup. I am sadly going to look for another brand of coffee machine.
Say goodbye to Keurig K 2.0!
September 1, 2014
Keurig is trying to do to coffee pods what printer manufacturers do to printer ink cartridges with their upcoming Keurig K 2.0 brewer.They developed a system where their new coffee makers will refuse to brew other coffee pods that don't pay Keurig for "licenses", with a system that produces a bogus error message when you try to brew someone else's coffee pods.Well, I think my first and last Keurig machine is on the kitchen counter now. Digital Restrictions Malware isn't cool, and I won't buy another coffee maker from them if this is how they're going to behave.How environmentally responsible is it of Keurig to make all existing pods that were made before July not work because they don't have a pattern on the lid that the brewer recognizes?To be certain, this method of DRM is trivial, and other companies will figure it out quickly and might produce compatible pods. There's at least a couple of problems with that.Keurig might sue them for it, claiming that the coffee pods violate the DMCA. Stranger things have flown in courtrooms. Even though the coffee DRM is ridiculous, it's still DRM, and might be covered by the DMCA. The fear of this might create a chilling effect that causes companies to pay Keurig "protection money" to avoid the specter of a lawsuit.If people buy the coffee makers anyway, and then work around the DRM, Keurig will say something like "See. They buy the coffee makers anyway.".They could decide to do something worse next time. Next time, Keurig could decide to use RFID tags in every pod. They cost about a penny each right now, and the price is still falling. If they can up the price of each coffee pod by 10 cents, it will still be profitable. They could make it more obnoxious by disabling the tag after the coffee is brewing, burning it out so you can't re-use the tag to fool the coffee maker later.Keurig's customer service number is 1 (866) 901-2739. Why not tell them what you think? If you've already bought one of these things, maybe you could consider returning it. If you haven't, then please don't.

Buy cheap and you'll be buying it again
April 29, 2015
Great price! Unhappily, it brewed just one cup of coffee and then died. No fanfare, no explosive exit, just dead. I watched it a while, hoping it would burst into flame or do something snappy. No luck. Just dead. I may or may not return it -- I mean, the hassle of trudging to the post office and then dealing with government employees versus the loss of $16? Nah. I'll use it as a lawn ornament and when people ask, What in the hell is that? I'll be able to say, That's what you get for being a cheapskate: one lousy $16 cup of coffee. They, in turn, will say, Wow, that's almost as bad as Starbucks! Lesson learned. Once again.
Same problem with first and second machine
March 15, 2015
I had the same problem with two different machines. The first one I bought, I couldn't get the kid to pop openusing the button unless I also wedged a butter knife in there. So I had Amazon send a replacement. Now I am having the same problem with the second one. I will press the button over and over different ways (not that there are that many ways to press a button) and it just never pops up unless I wedge something in there. So now debating whether to return this one too avoid the hassle since it was cheap and just keep using it with a butter knife popping it open every time.
Flimsy build, stopped working before 1 cup was made.
February 5, 2015
Flimsy piece of junk. When it arrived I could barely remove the basin that holds the coffee. I had to PRY it out.
Then started to make a cup of coffee and it quit squirting water at about 3/4 of the way thru the cup. It then continued to spurt sporadically but no more hot water to speak of. I then let it continue for a few minutes and gave up.
Packed it up and sent it back. Very flimsy build although it LOOKS good in the photo online.
Price was great expecially since it included a nice coffee CUP! Too bad it didn't work.
plastic smell and taste
December 27, 2014
We returned this coffee maker because it smelled so strongly of plastic and thus the coffee tasted horrible. We tried running it with plain water 6 or 7 times but it didn't do any good. The smell of the coffee maker and the finished coffee was obnoxious. We returned it and bought a different one.
I'm disappointed!
January 10, 2014
This is not what I expected...The unit is short and does not accommodate taller mugs. It does not seem sturdy or well made, and most importantly, it does NOT have an automatic shut-off so the reservoir remains hot until manually turned off. This is a potential fire hazard...I'm returning it!
