john *.?-!.* cub owner · Dec 25, 2014

For any of you coffee drinkers that have bought the overpriced Keurig units, there is a recall on one model

imagine that, a coffee maker that makes HOT
coffee... maybe i should go and buy one

rustyfarmall · Dec 25, 2014

Way over-priced. Computer chips that fail, and it makes just one cup of coffee at a time. Why would anyone want one?

We have a Bunn. It will make anywhere from ONE cup, up to ten cups, and it will do it in just 3 minutes.

Bob Bancroft · Dec 25, 2014

I didn't know such a thing existed until just a week ago when a neighbor showed me one he has in his new shop. I guess maybe it might benefit me,(not a coffee drinker) as he says it will make a hot chocolate.

I too use a Bunn. Not cheap either, but by far the best in MY opinion.

How does the hot water get out to cause a burn? Marilyn gave our granddaughter one for a graduation present last spring. (NOT my idea!)

We were getting along just fine with our old coffee pot that made 10 or so cups. Then my wife bought one off of the shopping channel (I would like to ban that from my tv, but I enjoy the wife fixing my meals, and washing my clothes, which would come to a stop if I had that cannel removed)I really don't like that thing. l am just putting up with it until it breaks. I have my old pot ready. Stan

I like my Keurig, but as the preacher told me, "to each his own", said the farmer as he kissed the cow.

I agree, the Bunn was not cheap, but neither are those other brands at $40 a pop when they last only 6 months or less.

Paid $100 for the Bunn we have, and that was probably 10 years ago. It just sets there and makes 2 pots of coffee every day. Never gives any trouble.

Just when you get to thinking that
every thing useful had been invented.
Some one comes up with something
totally useless. We got one for
Christmas. It is fast. And they gave
us enough of those little packs to
last a year! Kinda like our local gas
station. 50 cents higher than every
body else. But does sell some. Vic

If I recieved one of those for Christmas, I would probably put it in storage for a year, and then re-gift it.

We have one and I actually like it. I do not drink coffee but I do drink hot chocolate. The wife drinks maybe a two cups of coffee a day. So this fits us. She can make her coffee in the morning FAST and IF I want hot chocolate I can make it.

Now if your like my Mother is and drink 10-12 cups of coffee a day then it would not be the thing for you.

J. Schwiebert · Dec 25, 2014

My wife got one about 2 years ago and it failed. They gave her a new one, Good thing I kept the old box as you had to return it in the box. Then she had problems with the one they gave her to replace it.. Instead of giving her money back they replaced it with a different brand. So far so good.

Ultradog MN · Dec 25, 2014

My wife has one of those though not that model.
Uses the little packs of ground coffee.
I tease her about it a little as her coffee costs about 40 cents a cup if she buys the packs in boxes of 80 or so at Sam's club.
I figured it out that mine costs about 8 cents a cup making it the same way I've made it for 30+ years - boil it on the stove.
She had to have some of mine a while back when the power was out.

JayinNY · Dec 25, 2014

I have a old GE coffee maker, I love it, We also got a keriig
given to us when my daughter was born thinking it would be
faster but the thing doesn't really work that well sometimes it
only makes half a cup of coffee I use these little plastic
baskets and buy coffee in bulk instead of the little K cups, now
that swmnbo is gone I put the GE pot back out, and the old
perk kind! Lol

Cliff Nelson · Dec 25, 2014

My wife has one of the recalled ones. When it runs the water through the cartridge, for some reason it splits the cartridge open. Hers never sprayed water out of the machine but the water and coffee grounds went all over inside the machine. Just found out about the recall and haven't got it fixed yet.

Bill in IL · Dec 25, 2014

Have had one for the last year. It's been pretty nice since I
only drink about a cup a day on the weekends. Not sure If I
want to bother with the recall.

Wemedeeres · Dec 25, 2014

Just bought my wife one for Christmas, it's one of the bigger ones, came with a carafe so you can make one cup or a whole pot. We have a Bunn and love it, but I only drink coffee at home on the weekends and it seemed like a waste for the wife to make a full pot, fill her travel cup and dump the 3/4 full pot out. Other problem WD had with the Bunn only being used on the weekends itd boil some of the water out during the week and it'd only make a half pot.

Brian Schmidt · Dec 25, 2014

Thanks for the info John. My wife has one in the
recall. Got it two years ago at Christmas. She
loves it. Never had the described problem. We
went ahead and registered it and they will send a
"repair kit". Will see what that's all about.

She just makes one or two cups of coffee a day.
She uses the basket and her own coffee. So it's
no more expensive to use than a regular coffee
maker. And she can have a cup any time she wants
one.

Thanks again John for the heads up. Gotta love
YT. Good people taking care of one another.

oldtanker · Dec 25, 2014

We have one and I like it. We have a regular pot too. ours gets used when kids are here for hot cocoa and in the evening when the pot is empty and I want another cup of joe.

The last photo looks like the right kind of rig for the job.

CenTex Farmall · Dec 25, 2014

Another example of using the right kind of tool for the job.

El Toro · Dec 26, 2014

We have another model Keurig for 10 years and had no problems. It saves on coffee by only making one cup. Hal

RodinNS · Dec 26, 2014

I have one of the larger Keurig's now for about a year. I love it. It doesn't seem to be effected by this recall...
I don't see what all the carping is about with these things. I find it works great. I make a cup at a time as required instead of sucking on heartburn maker from a jar or keeping a pot of brewed coffee burning to cinders on a Bunn machine all day long.
I just got the mesh filter for my Keurig and use canned coffee. Costs about 8 cents a cup that way.. I couldnt' stomach the price of the blister packs and I probably wouldn't have this thing if I had to use the blister packs...

We've got a Braun (at least 15 years old) that is similar to the Bunn. We only make coffee on weekend mornings. I grind the beans and pour in enough water for about 6-8 cups per the lines on the glass coffee pot. I do that first thing when I go into the kitchen. By the time I get the bacon going, OJ made and my eggs fixed, the coffee is done. Maybe 3-5 minutes. That 6-8 cup measure will get my wife her 2 mugfuls and my 1 mugful with a little to spare if I want a warmup. Keurigs are nice (but expensive) and I might consider one when our Braun bites the dust. I just can't see replacing something that is working fine, doing the job, just to get the newest fangled gadget out there.
