 I fixed a potential problem September 1, 2010
phil danza (Land O Lakes, FL, US)
It wasn't long after I got my brewer that I started having problems with minimum coffee dispensed & not enough water pumping through. I descaled it a few times with no luck. Then I took the water container off & to my surprise, the tiny filter was clogged with a slimy substance & not letting any water through the pump! I cleaned it out gently with a toothpick & a q-tip. Since then, I have not had any problems that a good descaling could not fix. (I use the machine a lot too)! I bet this is why most of these pumps are failing. Descaling will not get rid of this problem. You have to do it manually & check it every so often. I've cleaned mine out twice so far. I use filtered water only in the machine & I've had it about a year or so.
 It Will Break Your Heart September 1, 2010
Mark (Michigan, USA)
Purchased a B-70 to replace a defective older model. (Keurig sold me the replacement at a very slight discount). The B-70 worked for 2 years, began stopping after expelling about 1 ounce of water. Only way to proceed was to unplug unit, plug it back in, turn unit on, press the brew button causing another 1 ounce to dispense, then repeat entire process. Tried clearing out both needles, but didn't help. Had regularly descaled previously, but couldn't further descale because unit would only dispense about 1 ounce. Only had used filtered water in machine. Called Keurig customer service. Rep, without any justification, accused me of not properly taking care of machine. Offered new machine at very slight discount (same price as sold at Costco). I refused offer. Told rep of my dissatisfaction with machine that retailed for $170 lasting 2 years. She could care less. Rep asked what I thought Keurig should do. Told her that Keurig should either replace machine or sell new machine to me at reasonable discount. Keurig customer service rep actually laughed at me. Folks, this machine makes decent coffee and is extremely convenient. However, the B70 will invariably at some point break your heart. I'd look at something else unless you don't mind aggravation down the road. Don't just listen to me; do a Google search on the net to read about the truly unbelievable level of problems experienced by purchasers of this machine.
Six months and then it dies... August 27, 2010
Albert G. Mcmullin (Lawrenceville, GA)
Like most of those who have posted, I bought this model about six months ago. True, it makes a GREAT cup of coffee but clearly there is a problem with these things lasting more than six months. We use(d) this coffeemaker on average three times in the morning. That's it.
My problem is the pump quit working. I have not yet contacted Keurig but I wonder whether the GREAT coffee is worth the hassle if these things need to be replaced every six months...?
 This is NOT the Keurig Platinum. August 27, 2010
Charles Sullivan (Burlington, VT United States)

The advertised product is not the Keurig Platinum: it is the Keurig Select. I know because when talking with tech support, they verified the type of unit by serial number. In addition, the Keurig Platinum has additional options which are not present in the advertised model. For example, the Platinum offers 5 cup sizes while the Select only offers 4. Notice that in the provided photo that there are only 4 cup sizes shown. This is the Select, not the Platinum. What's worse, it is being offered at the price of the Platinum! There is something seriously dodgy going on here. I have contacted the seller, but have not received a response yet. For a product this expensive, I plan to get extremely serious with them if I don't see some action.
Now I will review the Keurig Select. Basically, let me sum up what everyone else is saying, because it all applies to me too:
1. After a couple of months, the machine will become inconsistent. It will go through the motions and the motor inside will be spinning, but nothing will come out. After pressing the "Brew" button again (or for the third time), it will finally start flowing...and it will push way too much water through.
2. If you use the My-K-Cup, you need to give it the finest grind you can give it. Espresso grind is preferable. I use a KitchenAid ProLine burr grinder with settings from 1 (very course) to 8 (extra fine). I quietly switched it from 8 to 7 a few weeks ago, and the next day my girlfriend mentioned that the coffee tasted really bland. She did not know I had changed anything; the difference was that pronounced.
3. If you want stale, weak coffee that that tastes like it has been run through the same grounds three times, be sure to use K-Cups. Especially the Green Mountain Coffee brand. I love my home state of Vermont, but apparently we should NOT be trying to make coffee.
So here's why I give the product three stars instead of one: Keurig's customer service is very good. They offered to replace my unit for free when it started having problems, and they even replaced it with the higher Platinum model because they were out of stock on Selects. They answer their phones promptly and they speak English. In addition, their product is pretty decent when it is working correctly.
This is a good company, and although they have a bit of work to do on their product line, I plan on giving them another chance in the future.
 Not reliable August 27, 2010
T. Roth (Washington)
I thought this was the best thing since sliced bread....until the brew size stopped working, I am on my second machine and the same thing is happening after only a few months with the replacement and now the temp. is not very hot. Great idea but they need to work out the problems!
