My %*$@%& Keurig broke.

Make positive sure your old one is really dead first. Mine plays dead periodically, then gets over it and works fine a few days later.

Unfortunately, my experience with them was completely different. Mine kept cycling through the programming stage, and wouldn't brew. I called Keurig and they looked up my machine. It was one month past the warranty. The woman  told me that "this is a known issue, and there is no repair for it." I said that since it's a known issue, it's obviously a defect. The woman agreed with me, however since my warranty had expired, there was nothing they could do but give me $20 off a new one if I bought it directly from them. Well, with a coupon from Kohl's, I could get one MUCH cheaper than the price she offered. In addition, why would I want to spend so much money on a coffee maker that was only going to last a year?

We found that giving it a good whack with a closed fist would stop the cycling so that you could push one of the brew buttons. It actually started working normally after about a month of whacking. It now comes on at random times, but I just turn it off when I see the lights on. When it finally dies, there's no way in heck I'm buying another one. 

I just "retired" my Keurig and went back to my ancient Krups coffee maker. It was one of the original ones that makes the coffee directly into an insulated carafe-it's probably 15 years old but it makes the BEST coffee.

My keurig was getting wonky and I decided to not replace it. 

It would be worth a call just to see if Keurig will help with your machine. They have been really helpful when I have called and twice sent me new replacement machines.

I went through three Keurigs before I read a tip about not removing the water reservoir to refill it. Carry water to it using a pitcher. It has made a wonderful difference in the machine working and eliminating problems. The one we have now is the Crusiart Keurig and it has been working for 2 ½ years now. I also have it plugged into a surge protecter, which is another tip that I read.

Ha! This describes mine to a T. The display would light up briefly when I turned it on, but then nothing. I called customer service and after the rep I spoke to went through the 'menu' of questions on her end, told me nothing could be done, it was out of warranty and I could purchase a new one through them at a 'discounted' price. As someone else mentioned, I think I could get a better price on sale elsewhere.

Between this and the cost of the kl-cups, I'm seriously considering just sticking with the stovetop percolator I bought last year.

I will admit, I am not a coffee drinker and I do not have a Keurig. But if so many people have problems what's with all the love for them? Just curious more than anything.

It's the convenience that I like. I like my coffee fresh brewed and not to sit in a carafe for awhile. DH, on the other hand , doesn't care. He gets up about 2 hrs earlier than I do and makes brewed coffee.

We gave up on keurig. I think it's ridiculous that they can't make a reliable machine by now.

We're currently trying out the Bunn single cup brewer. It takes k-cups, pods, and loose grounds but doesn't have a reservoir. Maybe that's why it's still working!

I have one that is almost 2 years old now and I read the pitcher tip when I got it. I always do this and have never had any issues. It seems to be a good tip for whatever reason.

  My Mom went round and round with Keurig wanting to have her maker replaced. It was only 6 months old when she started to have problems with it not brewing. They kept wanting her to take her machine apart and do this or do that. She did or she would call my dh over to mess with it. Finally, they replaced it and after a few months the second one stopped brewing.  She gave that one away and told them to fix it or have it replaced.



She replaced it with a vintage Sunbeam Vacuum coffee maker  that she bought at an estate sale that makes great coffee.

Huh, I never heard of that. But it's interesting because mine acts up if I use the filtered water from the fridge. Or so I thought. I mainly use bottled water because our filtered water is gross, but thought my Keurig worked better with bottled water. If dh fills it up with filtered water he takes the reservoir off and brings it to the fridge. I will have to see if using a pitcher will help. Thanks!

I've wondered for a long time now how I got so "lucky". Our original Keurig Platinum (large reservoir, 3 cup sizes) has been going strong since day one in November 2009. I may have to run out and buy a current one for backup because I'm going to be really P.O.'d if mine finally crashes and burns and I can't use my favorite coffee (prefilled pod or refillable).

OP good luck on choosing a replacement. I will likely never go back to a standard coffee maker again. Being able to make coffee to my liking while my husband does the same? Just too perfect to go back. Thanks for the heads up on the new version coming and the potential issue with incompatibility with current pod designs.

This just happened to me. I have the none fancy original model keurig. The kind that had 2 sizes to choice from.
It was $120 4.5 years ago and it has had a lot of heavy use.
It made a tea for me and then it didn't work again.
And hour later there was a new one in its place for $90, then I had another tea.
I love my keurig
