Great for individual servings
Took awhile to convince my husband this was a good thing. Now he's totally sold and our poor little "regular" coffee maker is feeling neglected. Whatever Keurig you choose, be sure to get the My K-Cup so you can use any type of coffee you wish. This is the thing that sold us on the unit. The K-cups are fairly expensive themselves, but the fact that I can still buy my own gourmet, locally roasted coffee and grind perfectly to use in my Keurig has me tickled pink.
We purchased one which came with an assortment of 60 K-cups as well as the My K-cup unit. Really enjoying trying the different flavors that came with the unit. When using the My K-cup, it took a few tries to get the right grind, but once you find that with your grinder, you're all set. I saw several comments by others that the coffee was very weak, and found the following Amazon reviewer's suggestions very helpful: [...] Perhaps not the greatest solution long term, but until Keurig can fix the design flaw of the My...
Keurig Burnt Coffee taste? Simple answer.
I just got this machine & my Coffee tasted burnt. My water temp was at the higest setting 192. I thought that temp my be too high,so I set it to lowest setting of 187 & my coffee is perfect & still hot enough for plenty of half & half. The burnt taste is gone. This setting may differ in all machines,so if your getting a burnt taste with your machine,try different temp settings. You just got to find your "Sweet spot" :)
Returned two B70 units so far
This is a great machine - but only when it's working properly. I've had to return two units to the store I bought them from (luckily they (starts with "C" and ends with "ostco") have a GREAT return policy). The two units eventually stopped working right and couldn't pump out the water or the right amount of water... and yes, I did try descaling them. The last one that I just returned today was descaled TWICE to try to get it back into working order, and each time I went much further than the descaling instructions called for... not only that, I always used filtered water to begin with.
Even the new one I replaced it with seems like it is not working perfectly as it still seems to struggle to get the water out or get the right amount of water out. We'll see... I'll give it 6-9 months of life before I probably have to return it too.
So I only feel comfortable giving this unit 2 stars because of the reliability problems I've had with them.
It's...
