 green algae September 5, 2010
pgchang2000
Hi!
I have used Philips Senseo coffee maker for over 5 years and never have to worry about green algae.
Guess what with this unit, I thought I just need to add water like my old Philips Senseo. I was wrong.
It leaves water mark inside water container and guess what, it even had green algae like my gold fish tank.
I use this machine regulary and I guess the water tank never gets hot like Philips and with clear plastic container with sunlight, it had a good chance to grow green algae. BTW, I use filtered water for this coffee maker.
I think Keurig need to do something about the clear color water container because this is big container and shouldn't be clear color in the first place.
If I need to constantly remove water and clean the water container, then they shouldn't make this unit.
or they should make the water container gets hot like Philips Senseo or have some sun light block.
You probably need to check you water container on the bottom to see if you have any green algae. It was not easy to notice that we had green algae.
My unit is only two months old and I shouldn't have this problem.
 Quick, Convenient and Great Coffee September 5, 2010

I received the Keurig B-70 Platinum Brewing System on points earned through a credit card. That unit was a disaster. Within a couple of months, the water wouldn't flow without a lot of recycling, jiggling and various adjustments on my ever frustrating part. I called Keurig customer service and after trying several fixes suggested by them and failing, they sent me a brand new unit. Much better service than I am used to from most venders today. The new unit they sent me has been working perfectly for the past 6-7 months and has produced great coffee. The system itself is a great concept. This particular model affords me the options of cup size (thus strength) and temperature, it's quick and there is a great variety of coffees and teas available. I only drink about two cups a day, so it is really convenient not having to waste coffee from a brewed pot.
A breakfast-time robotic companion September 3, 2010

I don't drink a lot of coffee, but when I do, I like the experience as much as the coffee itself. For instance, when I need a coffee and I go into the gas station to buy a cup, I enjoy listening to conversations between landscapers in Spanish. I equally enjoy holding the door for the mother of an infant who is talking loudly on her cellphone.
Out around town, I like to take in the outdoors while drinking my coffee, watching the cars try to parallel park or watching the birds chase a squirrel. You know, I enjoy the little things.
So, what do I do when my wife tells me she wants to buy a coffee maker which brews only one cup at a time and the cups can cost nearly $1 each? I look for the experience. You see, this isn't a coffee maker, it is a beverage creation station from the future. It lights up in a science fiction-esque blue glow. A quick flick of the handle reveals a brew cup holding station which is home to two very sharp teeth. The machine emits a number of wonderous whirs and gurgles when it starts up. Technology has advanced to such a degree that you can even choose the temperature of your beverage down to the single degree.
If the Jetsons were alive today, they would be impressed by our single cup beverage machine from the future. With five choices of beverage sizes, the only thing it is missing is a robotic smile to greet me each morning. Some day we will have our coffee delivered to us by robotic butlers or cybernetic genetically controlled monkeys, but until then, I welcome this robotic glowing single cup brewer into my household.
I fixed a potential problem September 1, 2010

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

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.
