 Great Coffee POOR QUALITY PRODUCT ! BREAKS OFTEN ! March 8, 2010
Joseph E. Carreira (York, PA)
I have now purchased 4 of these machines, and can say the Coffee from them is delicious... Every Cup is great and all the flavors are wonderful... The Bad thing is all of the Keurig B70's I have purchase have the exact same problem after just a few uses... I would not recommend this manufacturer... They all stop pumping the water and need to be turned on and off several times to work each time a cup is made... You can on occasion get a couple cups before the pump stops and needs to be recycled. I have replaced one unit and the replacement does the same thing... I only use filtered bottled water in them so it is NOT due to using tap water as the manufacturer wants to blame...
In Short, I love the k-cup coffee, but the quality of the machine itself is poor and not dependable.
 Major Disappointment March 6, 2010
R. Sims (Houston, TX)
I bought the Keurig Single Cup Platinum Coffee Maker after drinking delicious coffee made with it at the hair salon. After it arrived, I used it about a month and it stopped working. I drink coffee on an average of 3 times a week so over use wasn't the issue. The problem was the power on the coffee maker wouldn't stay on. I tried a variety of things listed in the instruction book includingKeurig B70 Gourmet Single-Cup Home Brewing System setting the timer and that didn't work. I turned the timer off thinking it was faulty and that didn't make a difference. I finally called the customer service number listed in the manual and they are replacing the unit. While I am hoping that the new coffee maker will work fine, I'm not very optimistic. I read the reviews before purchasing it and there were those people who had problems but there were also people who loved it. I decided to take a chance. For me, it was not a good decision. I would never buy it again nor would I recommend it to friends.
Shuts off by itself! March 6, 2010
Daisy Kay (Mount Laurel, NJ)
DO NOT BUY THIS B70!!!! Unless you want to buy a new one every 2 weeks like we have done! We are now about to take it back for the 3rd time! At first we thought maybe it was our electricity in our newly constructed house and a problem with our breakers...however upon googleling this issue, I can easily see it happens all the time! It will work fine for about a week, then just start shorting out when it tries to pull water from the reservoir! So annoying! You have to stand there and turn it back on over and over again to try and get one damn cup out of it...and it won't even fill the cup up to the selected size! It's been filling up 4 oz when I choose the largest mug size! This one is going back too. Not sure what we will get in it's place. I am a little sick of buying these expensive landfilling plastic cups! And I miss my D&D coffee!
 Great Coffee when it works March 5, 2010
Rikster (PA)
My brother bought one of these and the coffee is great. He liked the coffee so much that he bought a unit for home as well. When my brother came down to help with some work I had to have done, I bought a unit and had it delivered to his house so it was waiting for him when he got home. He liked it so much that my mother bought one once she tried the coffee. That lets you know how good the coffee can be in one of these coffee makers.
The bad side is that I have had to send back both of my units because they stop taking in water to heat. The unit at work is started to do it again, I have to turn it off 5-6 times before it takes on water and heats it for a cup of coffee. The one at home also started to act up again, and I'm not sure why these things are doing this. I can say that Amazon has replaced them before, but it is just the fact that after 3-4 units they should fix the problem at the manufacturing of the unit so that new units going out don't have the same problem.
Thanks:
Ordered my third one March 5, 2010
Marla Nacon (Henderson, NV)
I purchased my first B70 at Kohl's on mega sale on 2/1/10. Three days later in stopped working. It just kept turning itself off. Called Keurig customer service and they sent out a new unit to me. Now the second one is acting up. It turns itself off automatically. After 3 to 4 tries, it will stay on. It doesn't always brew the right size cup of coffee that we programmed the unit to give us. I just called Keurig customer service again yesterday and explained the problem. I even asked rep if there is a manufacturer's defect in this unit and she told me no. She said she would send out another one to me (third one) plus Email me a discount coupon to purchase more K-cups since we had waisted so many of them trying to get the unit to brew a larger size cup of coffee.
Today I went online to Amazon to see if anyone else had reported having similar problems and guess what -- others have had the same problems as we have. On the one hand, I am pleased the Keurig is willing to replace the unit an no charge, but am disappointed that they are not truthful about this model having problems. After reading many of these reviews, I have discovered that it is a sporadic problem. Bottom line is we will try out the third B70 when it arrives and see what happens. Keurig does not require the consumer to return the defective unit to them and I am running out of storage space with my collection of their coffee makers.
We too like the convenience of this coffee maker and would hate to go back to using my 10 cup coffee maker, but will if I can't get this new B70 to work right. In the meantime, I have quite a selection of K-cups and would like very much to be able to use them and enjoy a good cup of coffee.
I have a friend who has the Special Edition Keurig and swares by it. My friend even let me use his to try it out because he has two of them and not because one was defective, but received a second one as a gift. If this third B70 doesn't work right then I might try getting the Special Edition unit to see if it works any better and consistently like my friend's unit does. He is very satisfied with his.
Overall the concept is great and I think if the B70 unit works it will be a great machine, but not sure that I would recommend this unit to anyone.
