I've been using the cheapest Keurig machine for I think four years now without issue. Roughly five cups a week go through that thing, and it never fails to work. I use unlicensed biodegradable k-cups.
I initially bought it as backup for my Aeropress, but eventually switched to using it full time and keeping the Aeropress as backup instead. I use a French press while camping.
They don't seem to sell the model I have anymore, so perhaps all the models available today are garbage, but the one I have is notably not.
- lovehashbrowns 4y agoCan I recommend some of the ninja machines? I have the dual brew one which supports kcups but the machine itself doesn’t give a hoot if you use branded kcups or reusable cups. And it can brew regular coffee as well. The one thing I like about kcups is how stupid simple the whole thing is while I’m in the middle of something like work. So this machine lets me be a caffeinated monkey during work things and I can also brew regular coffee when I’m okay with a slight distraction. It’s been working a whole lot better than the cheap-o keurig I initially bought which comes with a tiny water reservoir enough for one cup of coffee only. Most stupid thing I’ve ever seen. Why am I going for convenience but I also have to refill the water reservoir every time I want coffee?!
- pwinnski 4y agoI am personally not in the market for anything, because what I have works. I like the idea of adding water every time I want to make a cup of coffee. It’s what I do with my French press or aeropress after all. I have the possibly-mistaken impression that machines with larger reservoirs need to be cleaned more often, to avoid bacteria in the reservoir.
