I have read some of the posts on here where the brewer inadvertently stops working. The first one I purchased quit after 2 days. The replacement stopped working after 2.5 weeks and acted the same way--just wold not make coffee. If this happens to you, the problem might be (I discovered this by accident and I blame Keurig for not putting some note or instructions in the paperwork) the piercing needle is plugged with debris or coffee grounds. The unit detects excessive back pressure and stops. All one needs to do is get a paper clip and open up for one piece of wire to insert on either side of the needle to remove and debris. After doing that, the unit worked fine. If you call Keurig, they will send you a device to clean that port as well. If your unit tries to make a cup then stops short of filling the cup, try this first.
This is what made me a fan of coffee. Perfect one-cup for when you need it instead of a pot you'll end of wasting. In the long run, you'll save money, so this is an investment. I use the re-usable cups, not the Keurig brand but a compatible one. Got a 4 pack for around 10 bucks on Amazon.
Since I started using this Keurig my skin has cleared, my IQ has doubled, ive gotten a new job,and i ran a marathon with no training. I attribute all of these victories to this coffee machine. It's ability to make a simple cup of coffee has turned my life around. In this dark dark world where there is war, disease, and tea drinkers, it can be easy to loose motivation to get out of bed in the morning. However, since getting the Keurig, i have motivation to start my day. As i sip the coffee, i feel it slice through my veins and i usually grow about 3 inches every morning. No longer do i have to live like the Pilgrims did and make an entire pot of coffee and wait for it to brew. I can make a single cup now that is either small, medium, or large. Actually, i usually skip the middle-man and stick my head directly under the spout and let it pour directly into my mouth. The keurig also provides emotional support as i have found it is a great listener. I have conversatons with her and she communicates back by blinking the blue lights at me. Not only does the Keurig make a heavenly cup of nature's nectar, but she is also my best friend.
Haven't used it yet, but came in a nice, undamaged package promptly. Protective packaging inside, also included was unsweetened iced tea (3pack) and coffee and hot cocoa (4pack) the product itself has no scratches or esthetic issues. Tape was even folded over for easy removal from product . Overall satisfied for a first time Keurig buyer :)
My wife and I purchased the Keruig K55 many years ago and have loved this model since. It lasted at least 10 years until the other day. We have used and enjoyed it for about 10 years now until the other day when it stopped working . No matter which cup size we selected, it would only make the 6 oz. size and just barely that.
We cleaned the unit as suggested by the manufacturer as we have always done previously, but to no avail. So we decided to purchase a new Keruig machine. We were debating between the same K55 model that we have had for so many years and the Keruig K-Select model. We went with the K55 model again because neither of us drinks a 12 oz. cup of coffee and we were so happy with this model for so long. So we purchased a new K55 model on 12/1/2017 and it will be here on 12/3/2017 This coffee maker is the best and always makes a great cup of coffee.

I got this as an upgrade to the smaller mini Keurig, which I used for about 2 years.
Pros - Fits a travel mug. Don't have to measure water out with every cup since it has the tank. Best part is that it automatically dispenses the right amout of water based on the size you select, which I find results in a more consistent tasting cup of coffee. Tastes better than the smaller one I had.
Con - Brewing time. This claims to have a 1 minute brew. That is misleading. If you keep it on at all times it is fine, but I only make one cup in the mornings. When you turn it on it automatically starts heating the water in an internal tank, which takes about a minute. Once that's done you can brew a cup, which also takes about a minute. Total brew time for the first cup of the day is about 2 minutes, which is longer than it took my mini keurig. Not a huge deal, but I was looking forward to it being quicker, and it's not. Again, if you keep it on and brew multiple cups it would just be the first cup, all others will take about 1 min since the internal tank will have the water already heated. Knocked it down a star for this.
Very nicely packaged, easy (relatively) to assemble, and works quickly...
Be sure to read this:
---------------------------------
1. Make sure you set-up the filter inside the water container properly...
2. I use bottled water to fill the reservoir-It does fill with the "in the door" water dispenser on my fridge, but it's awkward
3. When you are ready for coffee, be sure the unit is ON and the silver handle is up, exposing where the cup goes...
4. Let the water heat up (light comes on) and THEN drop in the cup and close the cover(silver handle down) and
5. Make sure your cup is under the spout and select the appropriate size cup button...Seems a no brainer but in the AM
you could easily forget and have a cup overfill.
Also-Since there's a fixed amount of coffee in each cup, I'm ASSUMING that if you make a small cup, your coffee will be stronger than if you make a large cup, since a large cup will have the same amount of coffee but more water, hence it'll be more diluted.. and vise versa...
Pros:
Ease of serving multiple people
Easy to try different coffee varieties(hot chocolate, tea, etc)
Coffee stays fresher longer in the sealed cups, than if you bought a large container of
beans or ground coffee
MUCH less mess to deal with! Regular coffee makers leave a mess of grounds behind that sometimes get everywhere
Almost never any grounds IN your cup...Just pure coffee
Cons:
Expensive...I paid $98 for the unit and nearly $40 for a 40 pc variety pack-So it's over $1/cup, which is at least double the
cost of ground coffee, but of course, still less expensive than a coffee chain..
Space-Takes up quite a bit of counter space-Esp since I bought the Mind Reader "Anchor" Triple storage drawer and the machine
sits on top of it...I have to pull it out from being under the cabinet so the "lid" doesn't hit the underside of the cabinet when I open it
to insert/remove a k-cup
Noise-It does make some noise, I believe it is the pump that is used to push the water up to the k-cup..But not really any louder
than any other coffee makers..OK, maybe a little louder
In love with my new Keurig! I sought after this specific K55 model because my dental office has one and I think the coffee taste great coming from it.
It came with 4 kcups to test out. I love that you can put hot cocoa pods or even just brew hot water to come out with your tea bag of choice. Brews 6, 8 or 10 oz so you can choose cup size accordingly. I was able to buy reusable kcup pods as well, so I can brew my own grinds as needed.
It's a little noisy when it takes water from the reservoir but I can't hear a thing if my husband is up before me using it. I have not had issues with it spitting or splashing water around.
The water reservoir and drip tray are removable. There's a auto-off option which shuts the machine off 2 hours after the LAST cup was brewed, not 2 hours after powering on. There's a light that will come on when more water needs to be added and there's a light when the machine needs to be descaled of hard water build up.
Even when the drip tray is removed I cannot fit my 18 oz flask so I need to brew it into a mug and pour it in my flask for on the go. Overall I am satisfied with this model and the low price I paid here on Amazon!
Absolutely love this machine! Easy to use, easy to clean & maintain. ...fantastic!
Been using Keurig for about a month and like it but was noticing a low humming sound. At first I did not know where it was coming from...the outlet, refrigerator, lights. But finally determined it was from the Keurig. When unplugged, humming stopped. Researched this problem online and found other people had this problem. Some notified Keurig and were given another coffeemaker. I called and was told that there is no safety issue (which was my concern) with the Keurig and it was not necessary to replace unit. Even though they say there is no fire hazard, I unplug unit after each use.
I have no complaints about the quality and function of my Keurig....just the humming noise.
Addendum: Forgot to mention that the machine is turned off and hums. Humming doesn't stop until unplugged.
