Very disappointed with this model. Water container small, cups sizes small, water not as hot as it should be. It's clear their cheapening the machines. I've ordered a different model in the hopes it's better.....if not, going to have to look for another brand....So disappointed as we've been such fans of theirs.....

Very nicely packaged, easy (relatively) to assemble, and works quickly...
Be sure to read this:
---------------------------------
1. Make sure you set-up the filter inside the water container properly...
2. I use bottled water to fill the reservoir-It does fill with the "in the door" water dispenser on my fridge, but it's awkward
3. When you are ready for coffee, be sure the unit is ON and the silver handle is up, exposing where the cup goes...
4. Let the water heat up (light comes on) and THEN drop in the cup and close the cover(silver handle down) and
5. Make sure your cup is under the spout and select the appropriate size cup button...Seems a no brainer but in the AM
you could easily forget and have a cup overfill.
Also-Since there's a fixed amount of coffee in each cup, I'm ASSUMING that if you make a small cup, your coffee will be stronger than if you make a large cup, since a large cup will have the same amount of coffee but more water, hence it'll be more diluted.. and vise versa...
Pros:
Ease of serving multiple people
Easy to try different coffee varieties(hot chocolate, tea, etc)
Coffee stays fresher longer in the sealed cups, than if you bought a large container of
beans or ground coffee
MUCH less mess to deal with! Regular coffee makers leave a mess of grounds behind that sometimes get everywhere
Almost never any grounds IN your cup...Just pure coffee
Cons:
Expensive...I paid $98 for the unit and nearly $40 for a 40 pc variety pack-So it's over $1/cup, which is at least double the
cost of ground coffee, but of course, still less expensive than a coffee chain..
Space-Takes up quite a bit of counter space-Esp since I bought the Mind Reader "Anchor" Triple storage drawer and the machine
sits on top of it...I have to pull it out from being under the cabinet so the "lid" doesn't hit the underside of the cabinet when I open it
to insert/remove a k-cup
Noise-It does make some noise, I believe it is the pump that is used to push the water up to the k-cup..But not really any louder
than any other coffee makers..OK, maybe a little louder

The Keurig arrived defective/damaged. Waste of time and effort. Have to ship it back. If you think yours has arrived damaged as well (my first clue was that it doesn't stay open, but it also sounded wrong when filling with water) you can check how they are supposed to be at a place like Bed Bath and Beyond. The K55's in store seem fine. This one was not. I would not buy from this seller.

I had a Mini Keurig (Model K15) which produced lukewarm coffee, frequently blew grounds in the coffee cup or on the counter, and quit working entirely after 2 years. This machine (Model K55) takes up more space, but the coffee is nice and hot, and the water reservoir conveniently holds enough for five cups before refilling. So far, all the coffee grounds are staying in the pods where they belong. This appliance is mostly plastic and has a cheap look to it, but for the price, what can one expect? If it lasts more than 2 years I'll be very pleased with it.

Same as my other unit I gave my sister, except this model has a water filter, which I absolutely love and the water container comes out to fill, which my other unit didn't have so it makes it easier to wash and clean... bonus!!

We got out first keurig second hand because someone was throwing one away because they got a new one. I would have never bought one new before but now we can't love without it. It makes coffee and tea making so much quicker and easier. We bought this version for my parents and in-laws after we fell in love with ours. None of us needed anything super fancy so this basic model is great. My husband loves being able to make a cup in the morning even if he's running late because it's so fast and easy. My mom loves it because for the first time in 50yrs she doesn't have to make my dad coffee because he'll do it himself with the keurig.

Been using Keurig for about a month and like it but was noticing a low humming sound. At first I did not know where it was coming from...the outlet, refrigerator, lights. But finally determined it was from the Keurig. When unplugged, humming stopped. Researched this problem online and found other people had this problem. Some notified Keurig and were given another coffeemaker. I called and was told that there is no safety issue (which was my concern) with the Keurig and it was not necessary to replace unit. Even though they say there is no fire hazard, I unplug unit after each use.
I have no complaints about the quality and function of my Keurig....just the humming noise.
Addendum: Forgot to mention that the machine is turned off and hums. Humming doesn't stop until unplugged.

Great buy and very simple to put together when it first arrives. You'll be brewing your first cup of coffee very soon. Make sure to wash out the water tank with soap and maybe run through one or two cycles of hot water being dispensed. First couple of times I've used it, there was a slight plastic taste to the coffee. However, after throughly washing the water thank with soap that flavor completely went away. Will probably have to refill the water tank every 3-4 full size cups.

It's pretty great actually. We use it every day. The only small criticism is that the coffee it produces is a little on the weak side. That may not be the fault of this device in particular, but rather the general approach of Keurig and their K-Cups (of which we've tried several varieties, all with the same "problem"). I suspect either the K-cups need more coffee grounds, or their generally too coarsely ground (which my be required for the device to function)
