The second negative is not one I've experienced but one I was warned about. If you want to save on your power bill, make sure you use the on/off button or the auto on/off feature. However, a lot of us (including myself) throw half the pot down the drain because we just don't drink that much. The solution to this, if you don't want to buy the cups, is to buy the Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter in which you can put your preferred ground beans.By the way.
First, unlike many appliances that are power savers in one way or another, this product is constantly on. A friend of mine had splurged and bought herself this coffee pot. At the bottom of the refillable reservoir is a rubber gasket that may eventually fail the more times you remove the reservoir. Our problem has been that he wakes up so much earlier than I do (4 a.m. This single cup serving is the perfect solution for him while I can continue to brew a pot for myself when I wake in the morning. I chose this one over the other Keurig models because of the 9.5 oz button that the others lack.
That review is probably what tipped me over the edge of my decision making.A couple of weeks later I was telling my husband about this coffee pot and he was impressed. She was showing it off to me and I thought it was pretty neat. There are only two negatives about this product that I've found. I can tell I've made a great choice. The day it got here, he promptly brewed four different cups of coffee. After reading the reviews of all the coffee pots and different coffees, this is what I ended up choosing as a Father's Day gift for him. The downside of that is that it takes 5 mins or so for the water to warm up once you turn it back on. I've avoided this by using my retracting kitchen sink nozzle to refill it instead of removing the entire thing.
But I was dubious about the upkeep cost (the k-cups). vs. It keeps (I'm guessing) 10 ounces of water in a warming reservoir so that when you push that brew button, it is ready to go. It is technically cheaper to get a normal coffee pot and brew from regular grounds. We use it every day. and it is not worth it for him to brew just a cup for himself in the morning or brew an entire pot that sits there for 4 hours burning. kudos to the reviewer that broke down the costs for regular coffee, k-cups, and going to a coffee shop. 8 a.m).
I use my regular brewer in the morning and the Keurig for later in the day when one cup is just what I need. Have tried five different coffee blends in the Keurig system and find the coffee that's delivered to be hot, fresh and delicious. The convenience and lack of waste are big selling factors for me.
This one went back to Amazon. I tried all the different blends and they were all horrible.Convenience, indeed, does have its price and I'm not prepared to sacrifice flavor for convenience. If you're interested in a quick and easy cup of hot brown liquid, look no further. If you truly enjoy a good cup of coffee.keep looking.
While I still use my regular coffee maker during the week I use the Keurig for an extra kick in the evening or on special occasions. Keurig also has an offer were you can purchase two boxes of K-cups and get 2 free (plus free shipping). This coffee maker is outstanding. Using an extra bold K-cup you can open/close the Keurig and brew a small cup using the same K-Cup if you need to water down the coffee and it also fills up any extra large mug you may have.
Its very convienient to make 1 cup of coffee with no muss or fuss but don't throw out the 12 cup coffeemaker for when company's over. The K-cups are somewhat expensive but if you don't mind paying a few cents more for speed, convienience, and a good, consistant cup of coffee then this machine is for you. Overall I'm pleased with this machine. I also like being able to have a cup of hot water instantly for tea etc. Enjoy. It has a number of features that have a practical use and not just gee whiz junk that you set once and never change. Its EASY to setup and operate and works well.
