My new Keurig died after less than a month. The associate at Costco told me a lot of the same model

[Floyd R. Turbo]

are being returned. Even with my receipt she scanned it’s barcode to ensure that I bought it there. Apparently people are trying to return ones they purchased elsewhere that are out of warranty.

They only had the same model in stock so I got another one. Hopefully it lasts longer!

Just in case, I took out my old Cuisinart and bought some ground coffee.😁

1. Costco

now is able to look at all your purchases. They couldn't do that before. If an item is not on your record of purchases then you can't return it.

2. Bummer

Keurig kinda wiggled its way into my life in the form of a gift. We thought we’d just keep it around for kids to make hot chocolate or for when company comes and they might want a flavored coffee or maybe tea, but we started using it on the weekends when we were both home. My wife started using it every day, and our regular machine ceased getting used. I decided to start using the regular machine again, but that only lasted for a couple of months. One weekend, we made coffee using Keurig and haven’t looked back. That’s been about a year now. It’s a safe bet that we’ll replace our Keurig if it goes on the fritz. It’s just too darned convenient.

3. Do you have a idea of how much the coffee costs for Keurig vs. regular machine?

4. If you buy a reusable coffee pod, you can use any coffee you want

That’s what I do. Using a Keurig is so convenient because I only drink one cup per day.

[brer cat]

6. Thanks! That is good to know.

My sister and I make two separate pots in the morning because she drinks de-caff and I drink full caff. It's a waste of space on the counter.

8. Why don't they make a 1 cup coffee pod (like a tea bag) to use in a Keurig. I have

a reusable pod but you have to rince the grounds out which clogs your drains. Why not a disposable coffee bag?

[niyad]

10. There used to be coffee companies that did just that.

[niyad]

11. I just googled "single serve coffee bag". Lots of options.

[ironflange]

15. You can get reusable pods that come with little basket filters

I have some, and they're great. For instance:

18. Thanks for the information. I didn't click on your link

when I read it this afternoon. Then at 9pm I go to Amazon.com, what comes up but the disposable coffee filters for
Keurig. Anyway I will order some.

[ironflange]

19. Glad to help

23. Many (MANY) years back my

Aunt brought coffee bags from England. Apparently they are commonly used over there.

[EYESORE 9001]

7. I haven't done a true comparison in awhile

Yes, it costs more, but as I mentioned, convenience wins out. I’m willing to pay that price, despite not loving the part about paying more.

21. We got a small one for the office...

because we don't have a break room with a sink to wash out the pot. I didn't realize they made pods for tea and we have one tea drinker who loves it. I've been experimenting with all kinds of pods and it's been fun to use. It's not used every day though and we recycle everything we can. Our big coffee drinker now works from home and I'd say there was much more waste when he was in the office!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

13. This is my fifth counting the one that just died. The first two quit after a couple of months.

The one the most recent ones replaced lasted 11 years. 🤞🏻

[LPBBEAR]

5. We had one years ago....

and got rid of it after we realized how really wasteful and proprietary it is. Making coffee in little plastic cups is a really bad idea.

[getagrip_already]

9. You used to be able to use a filter basket and use

Your own grounds. But I think they changed that in later models.

I only have an old single cup machine I keep on a boat. I don't have space for a full size and pressing isn't practical. But even on that one I can use a filter basket.

[Ocelot II]

12. You can still do that with the new ones.

I got a new Keurig recently (same model as the one mentioned in the OP, hope it keeps working!), and it came with a filter basket. I grind whole beans and use the filter basket, save the used grounds for compost.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

14. The pods I use are compostable! ☺️

[Conjuay]

24. Ours was 'neh'

But it sounded like a bulldozer, not a coffee maker. When it died (Also a short lifespan) I purchased a “Clever Dripper” Heat water, pour it in, and wait four minutes.
Spend those four minutes browsing DU.

Kurieg also is “One strength fits all” in other words - weak coffee.

[debm55]

16. I think there is a defect in them. We bought one about a month ago and the water storage unit is

leaking water all over the place.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

17. 🤬

[we can do it]

20. Pour over. No plastic waste, better coffee.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

26. Too slow!

[we can do it]

29. Works every time. Doesn't wear out.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

30. Too slow!

[we can do it]

31. You have a Cuisinart that uses fresh coffee - use that.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

32. Only in case of an emergency! 😁

[Chakaconcarne]

22. Sounds like maybe you should drink less coffee?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

27. Blasphemy! 🤬

[Trailrider1951]

25. Since it's just me and I only drink 1 cup a day, I use a Moka pot

This little thing here:

https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Stovetop-Espresso-Flavored-Delicious/dp/B07VFXP37D/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=1HXNUYFKNIVB9&keywords=moka%2Bpot&qid=1687474429&sprefix=moka%2Caps%2C194&sr=8-3-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

It makes about 1/2 cup strong espresso which I dilute with boiling water to make a full mug of regular strength coffee. I use regular grind Columbian coffee, and it makes great coffee in about 3 minutes. No filters or other waste, just the grounds.
