🤬Just returned a second Keurig coffee maker to Costco🤬

[Floyd R. Turbo]

That’s two in about three months that quit working after a few weeks of use. At least I got to use up the free K-Cups that came with the machines!

Keurig K-Supreme Plus Special Edition Single Serve Coffee Maker

1. I recently bought a coffee maker made by the Instant Pot folks

Works like a Keurig but the coffee is better and hotter. $79 on Amazon. Uses the same pods.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

2. Nice to know! I'll check it out when the one I got today dies! 😏

8. Sadly, Instant Pot has gotten so much rip-off compeitition that it reeally needs the business

so I'm glad to see some of their other products being mentioned. I love my instant pot, bought a second one for my sister and want them to continue to succeed with that and other products, like the coffee maker you mention.

[Freddie]

15. They also make a "fancy" pod coffeemaker

That also makes espresso and steamed milk.
My daughter LOVES her Instant Pot and uses it all the time. She got me one for Christmas the other year and I haven’t done much with it yet except for the totally awesome hard-boiled eggs. Will never make them any other way.

3. I still grind the whole coffee beans

So that involves a grinder, french press and microwave to heat the delicious concoctions to stir into the brew. Seems to work well together for years.

5. Me too. Love the smell of freshly ground coffee.

I need to wait for my partner to be out of the house since she hates the smell of coffee (but oddly can go into a Starbucks).

Takes about 5 minutes to grind and french-press.

I'm also convinced that most of the benefits of drinking coffee are just in the aroma - not scientific, just a gut/nasal feeling.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

18. Takes too long! Anyway, my daughter liberated my French press and grinder!

4. I returned a perfectly good old school coffee make because I was an idiot. I couldn't program the

thing. The display was messed up. I did exactly what the manual said but couldn't read the display.

They had this film thing over it that displayed 12:00 and I never noticed. So, whatever the real display was showing me was overlayed with that. DOH! LOL

[sinkingfeeling]

11. Now that's a funny story.

[brewens]

17. I always had good luck with their stuff, so I ordered another one assuming it would not

be defective. It wasn't. As soon as I had the same problem, I realized it was me. I peeled that thing off and it was fine. I should never have even had to read the freakin' manual!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

19. Yikes! 😬

[Floyd R. Turbo]

23. 😬

6. While I have a much loved Nespresso espresso maker, when I want drip coffee, I do a pour-over

I've had so many varieties of coffee makers, but I can control every aspect of it, make as much or little as I want, and most importantly control the temperature of the hot water. And it is CHEAP (except for the bean coffee, of course.

But, if you want it quicker and at a second's notice, buy one of those Japanese (Zojurushi) 3-4L Hot water boilers/dispensers. You can select the temp to maintain the water and they are insulated (for holding) so the electricity they use is minimal.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

24. Good idea!

[multigraincracker]

7. I had a great Bunn coffee maker

that finally wore out. So I bought a brand new one because I really liked the old. New one sucks.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

25. Bummer!

[Chainfire]

9. Gives new meaning to a "ingle serve" coffee maker.

You got a bonus using it for two months. (some people would complain about anything)

[Floyd R. Turbo]

26. 😏

[Laffy Kat]

10. We have a Keurig coffee maker at work and it only works about half the time.

I can't figure it out. It's just a piece of shit.

[Freddie]

16. They get clogged from hard water deposits

Always use distilled water in ours. My daughter has wrecked 2 of them (so far) by using their well water which I’m sure is even harder than the public water we have.

[Laffy Kat]

20. That's not gonna happen.

No one is going to purchase distilled out-of-pocket and the clinic sure won't. It's fine. I'm trying to cut back caffeine anyway.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

27. Prior to the most recent two I had one for 11 years. Prior to that one I returned two in a six month

period. It’s really hit and miss with them! 🤬

[Niagara]

12. I'm sorry to hear about the rotten luck with the Keurig, Floyd.

Mr. Coffee coffee maker works fine here.




Although, we do have to replace every few years since we're so hard on them.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

28. Had a drip one years ago. It was still working fine when I gave it away.

[Auggie]

13. I love my French Press

No electricity needed. And it's cheap.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

29. Takes too long! 😥

[usonian]

14. If you grind your own beans, try a zevro.

Incred-a-Brew



The coffee sits in the cone (there's a mesh filter at the bottom) for however long you like (I do 4 minutes), on the counter.

and when you drop it on a cup or mug, that opens a valve and the coffee flows down.

Super easy to clean. Even easier, I lost the mesh filter (it does pop out for cleaning) and use a paper filter.

So, just toss it. Don't even have to rinse grounds out of the cone (kind to septic systems)

That said, I am incredibly foggy in the morning and use a cheap-ass Keurig knock-off which has lasted years, and will continue to do so.

Because it's as complicated as a clothespin.

The Italian Roast k-cups at Safeway/Vons are really good.

[BlackSkimmer]

22. Where did you get that?

I love coffee, and I think I've tried every possible contraption known to man.

Right now I'm back with my French press, but I love new ways of making it.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

30. Sweet!

[pansypoo53219]

21. my free gevalia pots did better, but my 'new' vintage stove top drip-o-later is the best.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

31. 🤗

[pansypoo53219]

32. which emoji is this? i don't text. why the luddie coffee pot + no cell phone.

NO WANT APS!

[Hekate]

33. If it weren't for Costco's incredible return policy, I'd have given up on Keurig long ago...

As it is, I use it till it goes fratz (only a year, more or less) then take it in for a refund and buy the new edition.

I think this is my 4th one, and may be the last. It’s still working, so I have no excuse to take it back — but I’ve never been able to get rid of the lingering pungent odor of factory oil and it’s been many, many months. That’s just not right.

Lately I’ve been grinding beans and rediscovering the wonderful aroma of coffee by the pot.

But Keurig sure is convenient.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

34. And, you get some free coffee! I've never had a problem with factory oil odor!

[Emile]

35. I switched to instant coffee. More flavor and doesn't

taste like over roasted burnt coffee beans.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

36. We keep some on hand just in case!
