Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had this Kuerig since January of 2019. Since I had enough time to use it, I decided to write a review now. First, the instruction for this Kuerig is simple and to the point, which is what I like. However, like others I had problems with brewing after just a few months. After countless google searches, I was able to figure out a lot of the problems that occurred. So to help others out let me save you the headache and explain some troubles you will have and how to fix it. So the first thing to understand is the Kuerig will definitely clog if you have hard water. This will result in half filled cups, no water coming out, and in the worst case, water flowing back into the reservoir causing the water to overflow the Kuerig spilling water all over the place. To fix this, fill the reservoir half way with white vinegar, and fill the rest of the reservoir with water. Get a large mug, and I mean large. Because when you brew the vinegar-water mixture, it will remove the calcium build up in the water hose, and this will cause any trapped water in the hose to come out, producing more water than what you added. So make sure it’s a large cup or mug. Then add clean water to the reservoir and brew again to remove the vinegar-water mixture. Keep in mind you may have to do this more than once. The second issue you can come across is the Kuerig will work but coffee won’t brew, and all you get is water. This is caused by clogged needles. Just remove the cup that hold the k-cups and wash it out with soap and water. I also found that the reason this happens is because my husband would leave the k-cup in the Kuerig after brewing, and by the next morning when it’s time to brew again, the needles will be clogged. So make sure to remove the k-cups after brewing. Overall, I like the convenience of this machine. We had a regular coffee maker for a long time, but never finished all the coffee. With a coffee maker, it was always a trial and error method when finding out how much coffee to add, which always ended with us wasting coffee. Using this prevents us from wasting coffee, and when we switch to the reusable k-cup, we also save on wasted plastic. In other words, we are pretty happy with this thing.
