Have you ditched your Keurig?

Yes dh is the only 1 who drinks coffee in the morning... and he hates the kuerig so he is back to his mini mr coffee.. its a 4 cup model... he only fills it half way... he likes it better n its cheaper... so yay!

I have a Keurig at work that I bought in January. The descale light came on a few months ago, so I did the descaling process- twice because the light stayed on. It's still on now. As long as she keeps working, I'll descale her every few months and keep using her til she dies. I named her Lola because she's a beautiful aqua blue/green color.

We ditched ours because our water tank kept get slimy and growing algae. It was a fairly new machine and we are clean people, LOL. DH and DD only brewed one cup each per day, so apparently the water was not getting used fast enough. We have well water, and the machine sat in partial sun on the counter.
We went to a single cup maker with no water tank. DH has to pour a cup of water in every morning, so it's not instant. But other than that, he uses the same cups and has no complaints.
I will admit, now I cringe at places that have a K machine with a tank that sits and does not get used often.  Like the ones in the classrooms at my church.  Once a week.  Ewwwwwww.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with a Keurig that has the descale light on regardless of how I clean it. I ignore it.

My bigger complaint is the last two machines spit coffee all over the counter.

I'll keep using them, since I only drink 2 cups of coffee a day. They can be within 30 minutes or 2 hours, so brewing even a small pot doesn't really work for me.

I am a Nespresso girl , the pods are not cheap but the coffee is excellent and live is too short to drink bad coffee.

I just bought an Instant Solo Single Serve by the Instant Pot people but I haven't taken it out of the box yet, partly bc I am traveling for my brother's surgery. But it's also a celebratory purchase bc I am pending a promotion that should come with a move to an actual office and I intend to set it up there.

If you have the non Vertuo Nespresso, there are many compatible pods that can be used. I use Peets and I order from Amazon. I can often get them for About .60

We do pour-over almost exclusively, I think it has the best taste. I also drink my coffee hot hot hot. I heat my cup with hot water from the faucet first. My pour over water is heated to 201 degrees.

Our first Keurig had the descale light problem so I returned it to Costco and got a another one free. That was probably at least 8 years ago. I use distilled water and have never had the descale light turn on.

my last keurig lasted 11 years. I'm on my second one now BUT I think I am going to order the single solo mentioned for the office.

I just replaced my at least 15 year old Keurig with a new model. They were on sale at Costco and mine was getting all gross so I splurged.

So far, I love it. I can control the strength and temperature which I couldn't do on my old machine.

I haven't heard many good things about the newer models but if it gets me through a few years, I'm ok with that.

I hate to break it everyone but this happens to EVERY coffee maker. That’s why I’ll never use one. I stick to my Melitta pour over where I clean the cone every day.

I ditched my Keurig years ago. I have since been using a small Bodum French Press that I just adore. Yes, I love my coffee hot too, so I heat my water on the stove with in a water kettle until it is rapidly boiling. That works for the first cup but by the time I get to the second cup I must admit it is cold. For my second cup I just reheat that one in the microwave. 

We've only had ours for a little over a year--I bought it with the intention of taking it to work/church so I could use it there and so could others, but it never left my house. DH makes regular coffee every day, but I like the Keurig for making a cup of iced coffee on summer mornings or to add a little more flavor to the brewed coffee if it was accidently made a little weak. My boys love the ease of making hot chocolate (even though I know it's a more expensive way).

The descale light came on a few months ago and when I finally did the descaling process, we thought it killed our machine because it wouldn't turn power on. We googled the issue and DH found a solution that involved taking the cover off in order to find some button to push to reset something. He did that and managed to get the cover back on so it's working just fine...not sure I'll do the descale again...
