Keurig B60

I like the convenience of getting of cup of coffee or tea whenever you want without making a whole pot. Also having the different flavors available for a change of pace. However, I've about had it with… the mechanics of these coffee makers. I've had 3 Keurig B50-B60 model coffee makers in less than 2 years. Each one breaking down. This last one, the B60 I bought in June 09. I use filtered water, descale it when needed and use the recommended filter that you place inside the water resevoir holder (changed every 2-4 weeks depending on usage). However, the machine gets clogged, sputters, doesn't work when you press the coffee button, drips only...or just plain makes alot of noise and nothing happens when you press for a cup of coffee. Personally, I'm tired of paying $150 for a coffee maker that last 6 months or less. It's bad enough the k-cups are not the cheapest. But I buy them because I like the coffee. NO MORE...I'm seriously thinking of going back to the POT. Any suggestions on how to make it work? Went to the Keurig site, but they only want to sell you coffee, not help you with their inferior product.

This was a treat that I bought myself. I am glad I did. K-cups are great but a word to the wise 1 k cup does well in the small and middle size cup serving but is weak in the large one. Therefore I can see… no point in buying a machine that offers a larger size of cup. I do use their filter and the my k-kup - great for t bags and coffee bags available on ebay and Amazon. I have reused the k cup with my own coffee with the cap that is available. Best deals for K Cups are Amazon subscribe and save and Bed, Bath and Beyond with a coupon. Nice machine.

I can't deny it really does make a great cup of coffee when it works, the best. But every single one I've bought (3 in 5 years) I've had to get replaced, Keurig has been very good about replacing them, but… come on, every single one. The replacements work about the same so when you start doing the math, don't wince. I'm looking for a replacement brand and would love to hear a recommendation, I still plan to drink k-cups.

We bought the B60 about 3 months ago. We love it! I tell my husband almost everyday how much I love it. Yes, it may cost a little more per cup then a regular coffee maker but its cheaper then Starbucks or… even BurgerKing coffee. Its so fast and the clean up is a breeze which is what we wanted. We wanted a cup of coffee at our fingertips with no mess. This is it. No filters to clean, no coffee to scoop, no glass canister to clean. We pop in the k-cup, add water if needed and enjoy!
