Side by Side Comparison of: Mr. Coffee vs Custom Variety Pack vs Keurig vs Generic

Nice looking machine w/ high end options - cup size options are a great feature and the machine is easy to use and set up (just plug in and add water. Reservoir holds plenty of water, i haven't overfilled (there's a max fill line) but do not see an issue if you go above the line. It is removable if you need to take it to the water source. I use filtered water to prevent excessive deposit buildup in the water lines and hope this extends the life of the product as that has been the downfall of my previous single cup machines. Warning- the first several uses will have a slight plastic taste to them but this goes away over time. It has an interesting feature where it dries out the kcup after brewing, not necessary but at least you're not tossing soaking wet/dripping kcups. I got it in red and it's really nice looking.

This is an excellent single serve coffee maker. I personally have owned a Keurig brewer and I have had no problems with it, but naturally it is a more expensive coffee maker. I was seeking out a less expensive option to use at school. Having multiple people use it, and having in a public building, we did not want to spend a ton of money. I bought another name brand single serve brewer and the coffee maker was experiencing hardships in brewing an average sized k cup. This popped up on my amazon for recommended items, and I am SO glad it did. This brewer is just like a Keurig. It uses the Keurig name and it holds a good amount of water in the reservoir so you don't have to fill after each cup. I have successfully brewed multiple k cups with ease. The water heats up quickly (quicker than my name brand Keurig) and the coffee came out hot and delicious. I wish I would have purchased one of these for myself rather than spending the money on a more expensive item. I highly recommend this coffee maker for single cup coffee lovers.

Bought this for my husband for a Fathers Day gift. I had looked at so many and initially had planned on buying the Kurig brand. After reading lots of reviews on the Kurig brand, the most common complain seemed to be that you had to buy their k-cups which are more expensive. I read where there were ways to bypass that but really didn't want to have to rig it up to work. So glad I found this one!! It was cheaper than the Kurig brand ones and it does just as good. He loves it! We have used so many different brand k-cups as well as the k-cup you can get where you add regular coffee to it. He probably uses that the most but when we had just a regular coffee maker he was always making a whole pot but only drinking a cup or 2 so a lot got wasted not to mention the time it took to brew a whole pot. Now a container of coffee last so much longer because he makes a cup at a time and he loves that he is able to brew a cup within a minute of walking out the door. He says the coffee seems much smoother. The only cup is has not fit is his Yeti so if he wants to use that he just brews in a smaller cup and pours it in the Yeti.

So far so good. Ordered this for work with a group of co-workers. Probably makes about 10 cups per day of coffee. We don't take out the water pitcher from the side to refill from the water cooler, we just use another pitcher to refill reservoir. That would be my biggest criticism of this design is that it is difficult to remove and replace the water reservoir. No problem if you just fill it with another container. For some reason the Blue colored machine was cheaper than the others. Check the different colors for price variation. I save $10 by buying the blue colored k-cup brewer.Takes longer than a regular Keurig to make a cup of coffee. Takes about 2 minutes from the time you push the button till you can safely remove your piping hot coffee and cup from below the dispensing spout. For the price and convenience everyone is very happy with the purchase. For a bold cup of coffee I'd recommend the Green Mountain Dark Magic. A personal favorite.My Daughter has one of these in her home, about 6 months now. Still working great for her as well.04/14/2016 - Update - Had this at work, probably used about 6 times per day during weekdays. Quit working. Makes noise like it's brewing but it isn't sucking water in anymore. Maybe it's hard water or maybe it just died. Will look for some recommendations on how to make it work again but it's dead for now.04/16/2016 - Took a toothpick pushed it up into the metal piercing needle that pierces the k-cup. Coffee grinds fell out, continued to do so until more coffee grinds fell out. Fixed it! Brewed several times without a k-cup, lots of coffee grind came out in first two cups, third cup clear. Works great now. Weird is that someone pushes clean water out through the machine daily as they make tea. Note to myself not to leave coffee pods in overnight or over the weekend. Dry up and block the hot water from pushing into the k-cup.

Works great. Solidly built and at a reasonable cost. I knew I didn't want the new 2.0 system. For one it's too expensive. Secondly it takes special k-cups. The new 2.0 kcups have some kind of copy protection scheme. You can't just use any kcups. The new ones have some kind of sensor in the foil--meaning the company gave Keurig a kickback for the right to make the 2.0 kcup. I suppose Keurig is worried about "unauthorized" kcups on the market. Of course it just came out and people have already circumvented the "DRM". Sorry, I don't need a coffee pot that is locked down tighter than an iPhone. C'mon Keurig!!!That's what drew me to the Mr. Coffee. It takes any kcup and even the "My K-cup" for use with my own coffee. It's perfect in the morning to make a quick cup of coffee on my way out the door.

We had been using a small single-serve maker that uses the Senseo pods, which we love as well. The problem is if you need them on the spur of the moment, they aren't easily attainable. Local markets do stock them, but in very small quantities. Anyhow, we waited as long as we could to join the Keurig bandwagon since according to reviews, these machines are very unreliable and expensive.I knew my wife was very interested because of the ease of use and all the different flavored coffees in ALL of the stores. I saw the price of this machine on Amazon and thought why not. It's reasonably priced so if it breaks in 6 months, at least we scratched the Keurig itch. So far we have no complaints.I really enjoy the 40oz. water reservoir. With the Senseo we had to pour measured water in each time. I love being able to pop a k-cup in and just hit a button and have a cup of great coffee a minute later.Some basic overall points:1) If you are like me and need your coffee steaming hot (hate lukewarm coffee and tea), what I've found is that the coffee produced is hot enough if you're drinking it without cream or milk. If you do add those things then you will likely need to nuke the coffee for 30 seconds or so to make up for the cold creamer.2)There is no off switch. The machine keeps water at a constant temperature. Obviously, if this concerns you electricity wise you can unplug the machine when not in use and it doesn't take long for the machine to heat the water.NOTE: Here's an odd tip. If you do unplug the machine as I do, when you go to make a cup make sure you plug the machine in and turn it on first before loading the K-cup. If you try to grab a k-cup and load it before plugging machine in then it won't begin to brew when you hit the start button. You then have to open the cup holder and close it again before brewing.3) Very easy machine to use. This isn't one of those Keurig machines with the blue screen with all the options. On this one you have a button to pick size of cup you want (6 oz, 8 oz, etc) and the start button which turns machine on when it has been unplugged and begins the brew cycle.4) If you care about such things, it's an impressive looking machine on your counter top. I also have the spinning chrome k-cup holder that holds 30 or so cups in it sitting right next to the machine on the granite counter top and it's like having a coffee house in your kitchen. This is a very solid looking machine with a decent sized footprint. Again, I'm coming from a small senseo single serve pod machine so maybe that's why this one stands out as so large and bulky to me.5) One final tip. If for some reason the machine doesn't spit any coffee out once you've started the brewing process, check the bottom of the k-cup. On one of mine the hole punched on the bottom of the cup ended up not being large enough and I guess the pressure of the backup forced the machine to stop the brewing. That's only happened once to us so far.At the end of the day I'd recommend this machine. It's reasonably priced, has performed well so far, fits any size cup, easy to use, etc. Based on reviews for these type of machines and how often they break down, I'd be happy to get a year out of this one based on the price. We shall see.

Very pleased with this product! Ordered it as a gift for my dad and he's so excited. I read some reviews where pods were busted, they had multiples, and that there wasn't enough "variety" in the variety pack. My experience was not like this. I ordered the normal coffee variety pack since my dad's not a huge fan of tea, cider, or decaf. I got exactly 40 k-cups and each one was different! There are some multiples of brands but no flavor is the same. I did get one great value cup, which I rolled my eyes at, but 1 out of 40 isn't bad!Packaging was great. I ordered other things also so this came in its own box within another box so it was definitely secure. The second picture is how they arrived, all jumbled together. The first picture is just a small sample of the different varieties I received.I ordered this sampler pack for Father's Day. Ordered it a week before Father's Day and it didn't arrive until the week AFTER so about two weeks total. The shipping itself was relatively fast but it took forever for them to "process my order." The shipping time wasn't a huge deal to me but just be aware.I would definitely consider ordering these again since they're a great price and a fantastic variety!

I purchased this for a holiday gift exchange with my co-workers. Everyone always fights over coffee in my office, so of course they fought over this gift. I am personally not a coffee drinker, but this 40-count pack did not last long. It was only there about a week before we needed another supply. I did ask the co-worker who ended up with this sampler, and she said that she enjoys strong coffees. Apparently there were several.

I have ordered a variety pack of coffees like this before for myself which I liked very much. I ordered this one for my granddaughter who is away at college. I thought her mother gave her a K-cup coffee maker and have learned today that it is just a regular Mr. Coffee type of brewer. I told her she could just open the K-cups and pour them into the filter in her coffee maker but she said it was too large. I told her to pass my gift off to someone she likes at school with a K-cup maker. They are great little coffees and someone should enjoy them.

Now I have this coffee drinking daughter who is just adventurous enough to want to try anything once. My boss gave me a Keurig machine, so I decided to surprise her with it. To make her smile, I ordered to of these sampler packs. One that contained the flavored coffees and the other that contained just regular brews. I opened the box and found 40 different flavors of coffee. I was quite please or should I say she was quite pleased. There were flavors I didn't even think you could make as a coffee flavor. Flavors: Cocunut, Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Apple Pie, Fudge, Hazelnut, French Vanilla, and so many more. The list is endless. No laughing, I am writing this and my mind cannot even remember all the flavors there are Now out of the two boxes purchased, I can say that I did not have that many duplicates, so if you are a coffee adventurous, this is the way to go. They were cost effective, and well worth the deal. I went on other sites and these cups cost so much more. So for you thrifty shoppers, you'll definitely like the costs.

I chose this variety pack because I saw several in the picture that I wanted. While I got a decent variety, I didn't get the ones I wanted. The box says coffees, teas, and hot chocolate. Got no hot chocolate or tea. In my pictures I show which cups I didn't receive from the product's headline photo, and what I actually got. I'll take the gamble again though and see what I get next time!

I've gotten other samplers but this was by far the best one. It was a nice mix of plain coffee with light and dark roasts and then lots of flavored coffee! I love that I received coffee from companies I've never heard of. I also got some crazy flavors ( cookie dough and mocha fudge) I received this the next day after I ordered it with standard shipping. I'll buy again! Thanks!

I bought this for the office.I wanted something inexpensive, a decent reservoir, not picky about 'genuine' K-cups, and inexpensive...yes, I said that twice!This fits the bill.I have the Kuerig B70 at home, and there's a Kuerig 2.0 at work I don't like to use. That's pretty much what I'm comparing this to.The pros:It's cheap.It makes a mighty hot cup of coffee.It looks nice.The cons:It's fairly slow, both in brewing and reheating. If this is for a breakroom, don't bother.It's noisy. The pump runs a lot and makes quite a bit more noise than my Kuerig B70, but roughly the same as the 2.0. It doesn't rattle windows, but it'll take a while to tune it out. A lot of the time I hear it running, but it's not brewing and it's not sucking water from the reservoir. Not sure what that's all about.It makes a hot cup of coffee, so if you enjoy coffee but not melting your face off, you'll have to wait a couple more minutes for the cup to stop glowing.A very, very stupid short cord. It's about a foot long. They say it's for safety, but you pretty much have to use an extension cord, which is inherently more unsafe than just the supply cord, whether in the kitchen or the office.I was on the fence about returning it, but it suits my needs. I don't care about the noise or the speed. I just don't want to schlep through the whole building for a cup of coffee just to have the Kuerig 2.0 tell me it doesn't like my coffee and go on strike. Kuerig really blew it with that one.If you want an inexpensive K-cup machine, and you aren't looking to impress anybody, and you aren't in a hurry, you should look into this one.I really like the Cuisinart too, however every Cuisinart branded item I've purchased died before its time, especially their coffee makers that grind coffee beans. Mr. Coffee has a good reputation.Recommend.

After having 3 Kuerigs, all dying within 18 months after careful care/cleaning/de-scaling; I gave up on buying another Kuerig by brand single cup Brewer. I am a coffee snob, and was doubtful this would would meet my rather high expectations.The coffee maker arrived today. I cleaned it first with 10oz white vinegar, and a full water reservoir. I ran all the water/vinegar mixture until it blinked for more water. Filled the reservoir back with just clean and filtered water, and ran it all through again to ensure the vinegar was out of the system.Time for the first 'real' test. Filled reservoir back up with filtered water. Put in a k-cup pod of Green Mountain Dark Roast (what I drink @work, so I had a benchmark). Hit brew. Coffee came out. Was at a good temperature, and tasted *almost* as good as the coffee @work from a commercial class Kuerig (which has been replaced 4 times in 3 years... another reason why I was giving up on Kuerig by brand name...)Only downside is it seems to take a little longer to heat up and brew than my Kuerigs did. Granted, it could be because I brewed at least 8 cups in a row, but it did brew once it heated the water.So, bottom line: It is a good Brewer. It makes hot coffee. The coffee tastes like coffee, and not hot brown water.It costs less than a comparable Kuerig. Time will tell as far as it's reliability goes, but I have decent expectations for it.

This Mr Coffee, actually works longer than any of the other Keurig coffee makers, under different names, I have used. The others, the water pumps, all went out within 1 year of purchase but this just keeps going. Only 1 complaint, and that is, it has to draw up and heat water between each cup of coffee. The others I had, had a resevoir of at least 2 cups of hot water, ready to go, so that more than 1 person could get a cup of coffee, at one time without waiting. So each cup of coffee takes nearly 1 minute a piece. So if you are alone, or only need one cup of coffee at a time, this is great, and less expensive. If there are 2 of you, someone will be frustrated.

Several friends of mine have the Keurig Brand single cup brewer, which they all paid over $150 for. I will admit the coffee did taste good but I felt the brewer was just to much money for me. Than I saw this Mr. Coffee brewer powered by Keurig, on Amazon, for about half the price. So I figured since Keurig had their name on it how bad could it be? Besides I could always send it back. So I purchased it about a month ago and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. The Mr. Coffee brewer looks almost exactly like the Keurig with all the same features on it.At first, I used the 6 k-cup assortment that came with the brewer and I was impressed with how good some of the brand name coffees tasted(Green Mountain, Starbucks, Neumans) and how quickly it was produced. I like a strong cup of coffee so I found out that the 8 oz cup setting was perfect for me. The 6 oz is to strong for me and the 10 oz was a little to light. So far, the Starbucks Pike Place Roast is my favorite k-cup.I also purchased the little bucket assembly for using your own brand coffee instead of the k- cups( which can be pricey). I used Chock Full of Nuts and Folgers coffee in the little bucket and they both really tasted good ,better tasting than my 12 cup Cuisinant .I didn't give the brewer a 5 star rating because it does take several minutes for it to recycle to get a second cup of coffee right after you made the first one. The Keurig is faster !!!Also, Mr.Coffee suggests that you leave the power on all the time. In fact, you really can't shut the brewer off unless you pull the plug. But, there is a quick setting that you can use that will make the brewer shut off in 2 hours after you use it.I leave it on all the time. So far no problems.Bottom line, a great cup of coffee from a very good coffee brewer at about half the price of the Kuerig..

Initial impression is that it is a solid machine, the mechanism to load K-cups is straightforward and seems to create a solid, flat seal with the K-cup. Brewing speed is slower than my previous Keurig - about 30-45 seconds between each cup where the Keurig was ready in about 10-15 seconds. On the other hand, the water temperature is definitely hotter on the Mr. Coffee brew; I need to cool the drink a bit before sipping whereas the Keurig was drinkable immediately after the brew. I see the hotter water as an advantage of the Mr. Coffee model.Power saver mode can be enabled (shut off after 2 hours of non-use) or disabled (always on) by pressing and holding the power/brew and cup selector buttons for 5 seconds. The water reservoir seems smaller than it could be. The reservoir allows for 4 10-oz cups which leads me to fill it about 2 times a day in my house. Part of the reservoir space is lost due to the inset created as a handle so that the tank can be more easily lifted and held while filling it.I do miss the feature of a timer - being able to automatically turn on the machine and let it pre-heat in the morning so that I can quickly make a mug of coffee for the road on my way through the kitchen, then shut off 10 minutes later. The brewer turns on automatically when the brew head is lifted to insert a K-cup and the brewer is ready in about 1 minute. Turning the brewer off manually requires holding down the power button for 5 seconds. If you don't wait the full five seconds, a brewing cycle starts (thank goodness for the drip tray!).All-in-all, it is handy and it has the basic functionality of the Keurig models, including the ability to use the "My K-cup" system for your personal loose tea or ground coffee. This machine, like so many small appliances, is made in China... (sigh). The price is good, but personally, I would be willing to pay an extra $20=$30 if it was a quality product with a "Made In The USA" stamp on it.I've cycled through three Keurig machines in the past 3 years; the most recent Keurig developed a pump leak and shorted out the power supply, So, I'm anxious to see how the Mr. Coffee brand with Keurig "technology" holds up in the long run.

After burning through two fairly high priced Keurig k-cup brewers, I looked around for a replacement by a different brand. "Mr. Coffee" has been around a long time and because they have established licensing for Keurig k-cup brewing and have marketed this model brewer at a much more reasonable price, I decided to try their product. I'm glad I did. Both Keurig products failed at the stage where hot water is to be pumped through the k-cup...they just failed to pump. (I use only filtered soft water in my brewers.) This unit has a pump for that stage of the brew cycle that sounds far more substantial than those in the previous Keurig product. It hasn't yet stood the test of time, but as of now I am extremely happy with the choice. The only complaint is with implementation of the loading mechanism: it feels flimsy when opened to remove/insert a k-cup. Also the water reservoir has lower capacity than the previous brewers I've owned. Otherwise I'm very happy with the brewer and would recommend it to friends without hesitation.

Received 9 Light, 10 Medium, 11 Bold & 10 Flavored. It does feel like a true variety pack.No starbucks or cinnabon but at least one of every other style shown in the picture. No duplicates.EDIT: I have seen a lot of reviews saying the black cups are not compatible with their Keurig.I have a K15 and have had no issues using the black cups.

This is a really nice mix of good and well known brands of coffee. No off brands and I love that there is such a great mix. I would give this 5 stars except for the 3 pods of pumpkin flavored coffee that comes in each box (I have ordered this mix 3 times). I do love me some pumpkin flavored coffee during the fall season but for the most part I don't. I am saving those for fall. If there was a way to have those replaced with something else when I ordered this mix would be purchased more often.

A nice variety of coffees. The only real complaint is that some of the k-cups seals have came undone; which makes a mess and no coffee. Regardless, it is definitely recommended for people who are interested in trying different coffees to find new favorites. It has saved me from buying a pack of Crazy Cups; which I found out I don't like the taste of from this sampler.

I subscribed to have this delivered every month. I really enjoy getting different flavors to try. Most are quite good, a few excellent, and of course, a few blah.One negative I have is I don't use a Keurig brand coffee machine. Mine is an off brand that requires you to manually shut the door onto the K-Cup. This has never been a problem until a few of the EkoBrew k-cups in this package. They require a bit more force to get the pin to push up from the bottom and puncture the k-cup. Not a huge deal, but I wanted to mention it.

This is a pretty good coffee sampler pack. I have it on my Subscribe and Save and get it every other month as a filler to my standard coffee. Most of the coffee pods are the ones pictured, but not all of them. I actually don't mind it because it is a variety pack after all. This particular sample pack does not include teas or hot chocolate. It is caffeinated coffee only.I know that it has been mentioned before, but about only half of the coffee pods work with the Keurig 2.0, which is what I own. If this is an issue for you, do yourself a favor and buy a freedom clip which is available here on Amazon.

Great variety of coffee, some of them don't work with the new keurig. What I did to remedie this problem was take a bit of the covering off of a keurig 2.0 cup and place it where the reader is, this tricks the machine and allows it to brew.

This is an updated review. I have owned *SEVERAL K-cup & Keurig-licensed machines over the yrs! Having purchased this unit in March of 2016, I was thrilled that at 1/3rd the price of my actual broken old former Keurig brand K-cup Machine, that *this* Mr. Coffee unit seemed to be more robust and sturdy, as well as the sound and noises that this unit made were "healthier and more robust" than my prvs Keurig and Cuisinart single-serve k-cup units. *Those* machines seemed to wheeze and work harder at the task of brewing a good cup...*now* it's the end of September, 2016 and the unit died over a month ago, refuses to push water threw to brew... and I have done *everything* the Mfr. says to do to clean and unclog the unit. kaput! I bought this thing when it was first offered at a good price... like $57 ... now I see they're asking you for circa $80... I'm not sure that *any* of these single-serve-brewer-machines, as a group, can *EVER* BE RELIABLE, the technology/design/durability factor, after well over a decade, just isn't there. In 6 months-to-maybe over two years: plan on buying areplacement, REGARDLESS of whose unit you buy!

This is the second one of these I have gotten, the first one leaked during the brewing process, so I let them know and they replaced the unit. The replacement process was easy and they shipped my new coffee maker right away. The only problem with this unit is I can't seem to get it to turn off. It does not turn off automatically and pushing the 'off' button does not work either, so we are forced to unplug the machine when not in use. If there is some trick to turning this thing off I would be glad to find out!Otherwise I like the machine, it is easy to use and makes a great cup of coffee, every bit as well as my old Keurig.

I had high hopes for this little machine. It is compact, uses a variety of single-serve cup options including K-Cups, and Mr. Coffee is known to make a decent cup of coffee. But after almost a year of use, I have to say I've been very disappointed in this machine. Here auare some of my issues:*The water reservoir is very small and needs refilling often*The machine can get very hot while powered on and there is no auto-shut off which is a bit of a safety issue*Takes a very long time to heat up and be ready to brew*Doesn't make a very good up of coffee using standard K-Cups, about standard with Keriug*Very loudIf you're looking for a basic little machine, this is it, but for the money, I expected more. I have finally decided to bail on this for my office and I am switching over to a Nespresso machine instead.

It leaks out the bottom; the tank doesn't seal right and every couple days we have to lift it up and mop off the water. I wouldn't buy it again. Otherwise, it makes pretty good coffee, looks nice on our counter and is easy to use.We have decided to return it and Amazon is going to send us a replacement unit. Perhaps this one was merely defective for some reason. If the next one works better, I will return here and give it an improved rating.Updated on 1/22/15. Amazon has great service, we returned the one that leaked and got our new machine very quickly. The new Mr. Coffee BVMC has not leaked, at least so far. It is my impression the coffee comes out a little warmer, the water now steams and it didn't on the first one that was returned, and the coffee seems to taste better. I'm upping my rating to 3 stars. It would have been 4 but the first one didn't work right so I'm making a deduction. In summary, this machine makes pretty good coffee quickly, it is very convenient, looks good on our counter and I now consider it a good purchase.My wife and I both like San Francisco Fog Chaser and I really like eight o'clock, the original. Fog chaser is envrionmentally friends, relatively inexpensive and has a taste we both enjoy. We think it is a good buy with this machine. I buy the eight o'clock at my local Farewary Store where it is cheaper than on Amazon. Hope this helps someone.

Many people have had trouble with these, where on the initial use it just keeps saying that it needs water. The problem is that these pumps need to be primed first, and the machine isn't doing it. Mine was doing exactly this, so here's what I did:1. Remove the reservoir.2. Fill the small cavity where the reservoir drains into the coffee machine with water.3. Now you need to help get that little bit of water into the pump (prime it) so that it can start pumping. To do this you need to apply some pressure while pressing the brew button. I did this by using a turkey baster with the bulb removed. I placed the large end of the baster over the cavity, pushing down to make a bit of a seal, and blew into the other end while pushing the button. You should hear the sound of the pump change, which indicates that some of the water is getting in there. The pump is now primed and should be able to work on its own.4. Replace the reservoir, and push the brew button again (maybe a couple of times if needed).Presto! Now it works.Hope this helps!!

I read on many reviews that the machine was defective straight out of the box....specifically the Fill Water light wouldn't stop blinking. I decided to take a chance and buy it anyways. Sure enough, I was one of the unlucky ones to get a defective machine. I have asked for a replacement and will update my review after I receive a working one but these are my thoughts on the machine so far:Pros:-Great price-Solid (doesn't seem cheap)-Removable base to accommodate taller cups-5 different k cups included as samplesCons: (besides the obvious not working part)-In my opinion, the water reservoir seems annoying to put on/off. I plan on leaving it on the machine and using a pitcher to refill.-Awkwardly tall. Fits on counter under standard cabinets but I need to pull it out in order to open the dome for the k-cups.-Removeable base (to accommodate taller cups) seems extremely cheap compared to the rest of the machine. I like the concept of this piece but its such cheap, flimsy plastic I worry about how it will hold up after regular use (especially with hot mugs on cheap/thin plastic).-Not-very-user-friendly interface. There is a button for Brew/Off and a button to toggle between the cup sizes. There is also a light to show that it is heating up as well as when you need to fill the water reservoir. I know I'm getting what I paid for I just wish it was a little more special in the button department.Again, I can't comment on the actual brew performance or quality of coffee until I receive my (hopefully working) replacement. I will update this review at that time.

I actually subscribed to this Keurig K-cup sampler so that I could get a variety of favored coffees. Now all I seem to get is regular coffee which I could just buy in the store! I wanted to sample the different flavors from the different manufactures not always get 100$ arabica/columbia. Just wanted coffee, no teas or hot chocolate or decaf. It's always delivered on time but please, more favors to sample.

I was excited over the mixed box of coffee to have in my office. I was really disappointed when I had a certain brand of coffee explode in my Keurig. I thought it might of been the Keurig so I brought some of the brand home to try there and holy cow, a week later I still have coffee grounds coming out of places I didnt know existed. My home and office Keurig are now coffee ground coated and almost impossible to get it all cleaned up in those things.

Buyer Beware! (1) some coffee's "best buy" dates were more than one year ago. (2) 20% of sampler pack was NOT coffee - tea, fruit beverages. Bottom line: it gave me a chance to sample many different brands, and I did find one that I really liked, but I'm wondering how many more I would have enjoyed if they hadn't been so far past their "best buy" dates.

I was not expecting so many weak coffees. Some tasted so bland I had to throw it out.

I purchased this with the hope of trying a lot of flavored coffees, but I would say less than half the box was flavored and rest was just a mix of light, medium and dark roast with heavy emphasis on the dark. Also, none of the black pods like the one pictured below would work in my brewer even though mine is listed as a compatible brewer. The bottom needle would not pierce the cup. Naturally, a good bit of the special flavored ones were in black cups and they are useless (I tried multiple black ones, none worked). I'm not sure if I will order these again.

You need to know that with the new Keurig 2.0 system that some of copy cat cups will not work in this system. About half will not work so if you own the new 2.0 do not order this Sampler Pack.

I've owned 2 of these machines in just over a year, both have leaked water out from under the reservoir tank.Had the first one replaced only to have the next one begin leaking in the same manner.After some research I found that the return nozzle that returns water to the tank is too short and allows water to run behind the tank. This can be "helped" by turning the return spout 45 degrees toward the rear of the machine, however it does not cure the problem. It will still get water behind the tank and eventually start over filling the spill tray and leaking water onto the counter.I would think that Mr Coffee would fix this issue since it's a relative easy fix ... just make the return spout a little longer so that it prevents water from getting between the tank and the machine.

I bought this Mr. Coffee machine a year ago. I rarely used it for 6 months, until I started working from home. Then I started using it to make 5 or 6 cups of coffee a day. It is now leaking water from underneath. I would not recommend this machine. I'm buying the Keurig which is actually a couple buck cheaper. I will give it 2 stars though because​ when it did work, it worked well and made a great cup of coffee. The plastic side pitcher to hole the water comes out easily for filling or just refill with an additional pitcher as I usually did.

After reading the reviews and feeling more and more dissatisfied with my Keurig brand brewer, and the price, I thought this would be worth a try. 6 months later it's DOA, it just pumps water out the bottom. I'm waiting to hear back from Jarden - I tried the online chat which is a huge waste of time - it's buggy and kicked me off in the middle of a chat several times. A few times I would get to the #1 spot and it would say there were no agents available try again later. The agent did tell me the brewers ARE WAY OLDER THAN THE PURCHASE DATE. We will see if it's an issue for the warranty.I'm kind of glad it's dead, I never really liked it as well as the real thing. Mostly little annoying things. Like when you buy a pair of cheap sunglasses. They work but...It took too long to heat up, it was such a tease - it sat there looking ready to brew but as soon as I needed a cup it would have to heat which took way longer than the Keurig ever did. It has a setting to put it to sleep or something but that wasn't the problem, I tried both options.Our coffee maker is on a side table so the cord needs to be able to reach a standard height outlet from a standard height table, it's about 2" short. Every other coffee maker we have had for 15 years can reach. This detail - saving 2" of electrical cord probably saves the company thousands, and let's them sell this model for a few bucks less. If your coffee maker is directly in front of an outlet, then no worries.In summaryDead after 6 monthsSlow to brew (even after the water is hot)Slow to heatThe styling is OKThe cup size selector is a thumbs down - especially for a blearry eyed sleepy person trying to get coffeeThe cord is ridiculously shortI will not buy this again. If they warranty it out and send me a new one, I'll keep it as a back up.

I miss my Keurig!!!! A friend recommended this product, she has one, after my Keurig broke down after almost 7 years. I bought it but then my Keurig started working again so my Mr. Cofee sat for a month until I finally had to say good bye to the Keurig. This product is ok here are the issues I have with it.....1. Takes way too long to heat the water up to brew!2. I keep getting coffee grounds in my coffee, yuck!!3. The cup sizes available need to be larger.4. The K-Cups seem to keep a lot of water in them.What I like about it.....1. Price2. Takes the same K-CupsIt took me about 10 minutes, maybe a little longer this morning to make my to go cup of coffee, WAY, WAY too long!!! I posted a picture of my to go cup I use, in the Keurig, I used the same K-Cup, brewed twice and I was good to go.....this machine, I think I used 2 K-Cups so I brewed it 4 different times and the water had to keep reheating, I didn't think it would ever be done! I was about to say heck with it but I need my morning coffee!!If you can get a Keurig, I would and if I didn't wait so long to open this item, I would 100% return it but it isn't able to be returned, boohoo!!!

This is the 2nd Mr. Coffee BVMC-KG6-001 I have owned. Each lasted less than a year. The first one was a gift and I loved it! Less than a year later it died. I ordered a new one and was once again very happy! I do love my morning coffee; having it ready quickly and easily is such a bonus! However, now there's an issue with this one. It leaks from the bottom! Reviews say that's an issue, so I'm going to keep using it until it dies or the water that goes in immediately goes out ~ whichever comes first. However, I won't order another one. I long for the days when a product was so well made that it lasted a good long time making it worth the money spent. Spending $80 a year on a machine is wasteful! Now that I've said all of that, I think I'll post a positive review about my Kindle e-Reader and Mr. Coffee cup warmer! See? Mr. Coffee can make something that works well and lasts. Just wish it was my coffee maker!

We bought this in December, and LOVED it.By early March it was behaving oddly. If you pushed the button for a 6 ounce cup, sometimes you got 6 ounces, sometimes 4 and sometimes 2. It didn't really matter what button you pushed, there was no telling how much coffee you'd end up with. It also never turned itself off, which it's supposed to do it you don't use it for a while.So we read the cleaning instructions, and for a week or two it was better? But then it went right back to random amounts of coffee.Today is April 23rd, and it quit working this morning. It tries to pump, and all the lights are on, but nothing comes out. We've tried everything, including troubleshooting online and in the owners manual.Amazon won't take a return -- we've had it too long -- so we've contacted the manufacturer. There's a one year warranty on it? Not sure what we're doing about tomorrow morning. . .

Mostly junk coffees you'd never find again, if you even wanted to. Green Mtn samples pictured but not a single pod in the box, others I wanted to try as well, but none in the box. Mostly no name crap. Once was more than enough of these.

Fun assortment of kcups that I will probably never buy again. I've never heard of most of these brands. One was great valu, which I recognize as a generic grocery store brand. Out of 40 kcups, 9 are flavored. The rest are a mix of dark, medium and light roasts (no decafs). I'm excited to try a few of them. It seems like a good way to sample a bunch of new brands, but next time we'll stick with one we know we like.

The Variety Pack I received included very little of the advertised coffees and a lot of unknown blends. If this wasn't purchased for my work office, I would be returning to seller. I don't recommend this sampler pack, it's filled with undesirable coffee.

I ordered this variety pack on the basis of the flavors pictured. Of the 40 cups, nine of them were what was advertised. The rest were plain coffee of one blend or another. Amazon gave me a refund but if you're looking for flavored coffee or you're interested in something specific, you probably want something else. In the picture, the cups in the box are flavored. The ones on the counter aren't.

I usually get these shipped routinely, but for some reason this box for every 2 pods I brewed I would actually get a cup of coffee. the Pods would explode when brewing. Making a huge mess all over my kitchen that I had to clean not once but generally twice before I had my first cup of coffee. This is not a good moment and way to start a day. All I can figure is that it was a defective box of pods where the glue seal was compromised perhaps because of inconsistent temperature regulations. I am hoping this does not happen with the next box, if so I will stop using this box variety and buy at the store.

I was excited when I received these because of the great variety of good coffee! The package also had no teas or decaf (thank God because decaf coffee is a morning ruiner). However, I was displeased to find that several of these cups don't work in a Keurig 2.0 brewer! An error message pops up that these pods were not made for Keurig brewers, and it will not brew.I did come up with a fix and tricked my keurig, by peeling a label off of one of my used k cups and putting it over the non-keurig pod (so the keurig can scan the little bar code), but this is certainly inconvenient and not something I'm looking forward to doing every morning.So all in all, would not buy again. Great variety, but not worth the fuss with a Keurig 2.0. Disappointed.

Lasted for 3 days, 6 cups of coffee. Warranty not honored by Mr. CoffeeReceived BVMC-KG6 from Amazon on October 5 2016.Stopped working on October 7 2016.I called Mr. Coffees Warranty number and talked to their Service Representative.They asked me for the number found on one of the prongs of the power plug.It was G146, I was told that this product is over one year old so is no longer Warranted.I discarded the original packaging that this came in as it did work the first day out of the box.Does Amazon allow returns if the original packaging/box it came is gone?This also came with a box of 5 Keurig Brew cups past their expiration date.A sticker on this box has a best used date of July 25 2015.

Don't do it! I've only been using this product a year and a few months and it has started to leak. The tubing used to recycle the heated water into the plastic tank is too short and causes a 'waterfall' between the plastic tank and the unit when it fills. The result is water all over the counter.Amazon won't help; I've been told to contact the manufacturer and was told there's only a 1-year warranty on this particular brewer.Guess I'll line my counter with towels every time I use it and cross my fingers...

I have purchased two, Mr. Coffee Single Serve Brewers within the last month, one from Wal Mart and one from Amazon. Both quit working within a few days of purchasing them. Neither made more than 5-6 cups of coffee total. I used bottled water and k-cups in both so I do not believe it was due to any fault of ours. With both brewers, the pump comes on but it doesn't pull any water from the reservoir into the machine, so nothing brews. It's also not a case of us not setting them up correctly, I know that because they each brewed a few cups before they quit working. I think they are faulty machines. I don't recommend them, at all. I guess I am back to searching for a decent single-serve machine.

I've had the maker since May and it has failed already. The Add water lite is always on and you can't brew when that is true. I went to the hotline, but their suggestions did not work. I'm still trying. It is too late to return it, but I'm hoping for a refund of sorts.

We had this for less than a year before it started leaking. When I say leaking, I don't mean a trickle, I'm talking a full on lake! We really liked the different settings, he likes his coffee stronger, I like my cappuccino weaker & the kids like their hot chocolate right in the middle.

Do not buy this machine.I have owned several keurig brand machines over the past few years, and it has been my experience that they last about a year before dying a slow, loud death (and yes, we de-scale the machine with vinegar on a regular basis). After my last one kicked the bucket, I decided to try a different brand machine. This one had good reviews for the most part so I took the plunge. It was a mistake. Within a couple of weeks it quit brewing. The brew light comes on, and when you push it, it begins heating the water. But no water ever comes out. We figured out that you could remove the K-cup and try again and water would come out, and then you could put the K-cup back in and brew a cup of coffee. While it is inconvenient and irritating to have to baby a new machine like this, I decided I could live with it. And then, 6 weeks after purchasing this blasted machine, it has quit altogether. The brew light comes on, the water sounds like it is heating, and NO WATER comes out- even with the K-cup removed. I am beyond frustrated. And of course, since it's been over 30 days, I can't return it to Amazon. I suppose Amazon thinks appliances only need to last for 30 days??

I wish I read some of these reviews before purchasing. Half of the Keurig pods in the box won't work on the Keurig machine. It's the once with an indent on the bottom. It has to be flat to work! Totally disappointed that I had to throw half out.

I can confirm that these absolutely do NOT work with Keurig 2.0 machines. I purchased a Keurig K250 very recently and have gone through several of the K-Cups in this variety pack and not a single one has worked. The listing here is completely false when it says it works with 2.0 and this purchase was a complete waste of time and money.

**BUYER BEWARE AS NOT ALL CUPS WORK** Ordered product and several cups not compatible with Kurig. Also duplicates in the box. Will NOT order again. Did see others with same problems in reviews.

This is awful coffee. I tried five and they were awful. They taste more like horrible instant coffee; some were sour, others bitter, all weak. Do not buy this product. Fortunately , Amazon gave me refund.

Im am highly dissatisfied with the variety that I received. In the picture that they use start bucks, Cinnabon labeling. Which I thought I would get because of course this is a variety pack so I wasn't expected them to be all that. But still nothing from either of the ones I actually wanted. I was just really disappointed in the actual variety that I received.

I was not happy with this selection. The box says it is a selection of coffees, flavored coffees, herbal teas and hot chocolates. I received 7 flavored coffees, (3 of which were vanilla flavored) 3 breakfast blends, and the other 30 were medium and dark roasted. NO herbal teas or hot chocolates at all. I was expecting a chance to try different kinds of available products! I will not be purchasing this again and suggest anyone else to reconsider ordering this also!
