Great review. Thank you. I just bought it at Walmart for $79,. Price was rolled back from $99. Easy to use. Very satisfied. Enjoy.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Thank you and I'm glad you got it on sale! Enjoy☕

[@anderman82]

If you want less than 8 cups you can just press the cups button to stop brewing. Also, if you press and hold the cups button for three seconds the burner will turn back on for an additional 2 hours

[@rochelleb973]

Thanks for sharing that. I'm a k cup person and hubby is grounds. Now I know I can keep his warn lol

[@renadamTWELVE]

@anderman82 I came here because I just bought this model, cleaned up, plugged it in, no power. Can't find a power button. No instructions referencing a power button. Ideas?

[@keepwatchpray6403]

Great! Thank you!

[@kianioliveira6337]

It is handy!

[@d.n.5259]

Great review, my wife showed me this today because I've been complaining that I miss my old coffee drip maker, but still like using kcups once in a while. This is perfect and simple. Will keep us both happy. I will be picking one up today!

[@AliciaLynnYT]

It is really nice to have both options, I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!

[@mlawless87]

Thank you for the review! It was really helpful. Off subject my husband wants to know what shirt you are wearing. The black skull with the beard shirt.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi, Michelle, the shirt is from the company Grunt Style. They make some great shirts! Thanks for watching!

[@moonagedaydream9786]

I plan on using the coffee pot for tea on one side n k cups for coffee.

I just purchased the Kmart Keurig K Essentials. So far so good! I can't seem to find a reusable filter that fits for the K cup side. Would you know where I can get one? Thank you!

Here is a link to the ones we got from Amazon. amzn.to/3HNumPC I don't know if the Kmart version is different, but these fit our K-Duo! Hope that helps!

Hi Beth! It has been really nice to have that coffee pot option! Thanks for watching and I hope your weekend is going well!

[@michellescozyhome6290]

Hi, guys! Great review. These are really cool. I have had a standard Keurig for a long time now. I just use it for my tea. I just love the convenience of them. We have a Ninja coffee maker for the coffee drinkers in the family. This is nice that it can do both. But, time is of the essence when my coffee drinkers need their caffeine fix!😆😆 Fantastic share sweet friend. Happy Friday. Hugs and blessings to you. Have a beautiful day sweetie.🥰❤️❤️🦃🦃🎄🎄

[@cynthiajfannin7986]

I have lots of keurigs and I have the ninja coffee maker but I hate the design of the pot!

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi Michelle! The convenience is what I love the most about Keurigs! I love that this one does pots too but it is a little slow and I agree, time is of the essence when you want your caffeine fix! 😄 Thanks for watching sweet friend, I hope your weekend has been going well!🥰💛🌞💜🍂

[@tamaralopez1156]

These were 79$ at Walmart back in October and my daughter surprised us with one we absolutely love it

[@AliciaLynnYT]

That's a good deal on one of these, I hope you continue to enjoy it!☕☕

[@caratsoups]

sad that i missed the deal. it was like that last week for me and when it was 2 days before mother’s day it went back to $99

[@andrewpizzino2514]

Saw that to my surprise when I bought mine 👍

[@ericaclark7522]

Which side of the spoon did you use? Is it programmable?

[@AliciaLynnYT]

This one is not programable. I have one listed in the description box of the video that is though.

[@marshyburrows1094]

I like the fact you waited a month to finish this review with additional information from use... appreciate the Farmers Brothers coffee tip as well. A water temperature would have been my only suggestion Thank you

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Thank you! As far as the water temperature, it isn't adjustable on this model like it is on some Keurigs.

[@NB-sb6vj]

Hello… Can we brew a single cup from the carafe??

[@AliciaLynnYT]

yes

[@memme9894]

When you make an actual full pot of coffee, will it stay on and hot if you decide to have a cup on the side for the individual with let’s say a different kind of coffee can they be used at the same time?

[@memme9894]

Sorry just got the answer

[@memme9894]

At about the 14 minute mark, I’m looking for one that will keep the hot plate going. That’s the whole purpose of me wanting on thank you guys for doing this.

[@ericaclark7522]

Did you ever use the spoon that comes with it?

[@AliciaLynnYT]

We didn't, no.

[@jayp3564]

We've had a Keurig Single Serve for almost 5 years now and only ever used a Brita Water Filter Pitcher to fill it up. I believe this has helped keep it clean and trouble free. We have never had to descale our machine either. Ours has been a good one.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

That is a good idea filling it up with a Brita! I bet that has helped a lot!

[@Idorespectyabro]

I use distilled water that I make. Never had to descale either! I'm glad to hear just good quality filtered water doesn't scale it up!

[@rachelchapman6966]

Any suggestions if the basket drawer gets stuck??

[@rochelleb973]

I had to come back to your video. I'm having a heck of a time getting the grounds draw back in . Uggghhhhh lol

[@AliciaLynnYT]

That drawer is a pain! I don't know if there is a good way to do it. Sometimes it goes right in and others, it fights you!

[@keepwatchpray6403]

Thanks for the review👍🏼. I actually found what I needed to know so thanks so much for that. I appreciate the simplicity of this model as well. I was a bit confused about how much coffee grounds to put with the serving spoon that comes with it, (I know… there was probably nothing to be confused about) bc as you said if you want 4 cups and the lowest option for that is 8 but you explained that so I got it now. Thanks plenty! And May you have a blessed & happy New Year!!🎉

[@alamedacabebe4489]

I just bought the same keurig model as you did and absolutely love it. My only question is that the button to press for the craft side turns blue when brewing but then turns red after it brew. KEURIG customer service doesn’t know what the issue is. My daughter thinks the red light it to indicate the hot plate is on. The manual I see on the website doesn’t have my model😕 I’m curious if your pot also does this

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Ours does the same thing, it is to indicate the hot plate is on! Thanks for watching, Alameda and enjoy your Keurig!☕

[@alamedacabebe4489]

AliciaLynn thanks for the quick response. My daughter told me this but I just wanted to triple check to care for my Keurig. I love the unit

[@cynthiajfannin7986]

Your daughter is right about the red light indicating that the brewing cycle is complete and the hot plate stays on for 2 hrs.😊

[@ludwig2583]

Hi my dear. I have problems with the second part: individual mug. Water it doesn't come out???? I'm very disapointed!!!! Could you help me please???? Thank you so much

[@AliciaLynnYT]

I'm not sure what would be causing that, I would recommend contacting Keurig!

[@maryffogarty]

Can you use your own coffee in the pod side?

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Yes, you can use your own coffee in the reusable coffee filters

[@eshkakogan75]

Went back half hour after i bought it. Basket wouldnt go back in. And a burning smell when i plugged it in. And it would do the cleaning cycle . Utter garbage. Feels like a $45 coffee machine.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

I don't remember what number Keurig this one was for us, but after having continued problems with Keurig ourselves, we switched to Hamilton beach and it has been great. Keurig's quality has gone downhill bigtime. It's really disappointing.

I noticed you didn’t have the water filter for the single keurig in The reservoir. And one doesn’t come in the box. Does it NEED it or is it fine without it??

[@AliciaLynnYT]

It doesn't need it in my opinion

[@derekdimry5426]

I have questions i got one for Christmas and my motor keeps running non stop and i fill it up on water the goes into the coffee pot. It never stays in the Reservoir. Im not 100% sure why?. I unplugged it and try different plugs. What can i do??

[@AliciaLynnYT]

That doesn't sound like it's working right, I would contact Keurig!

[@meganshirley1289]

Water filter?

No, but I don't use them anyway with my other models that come with them.

Wow you guys really like your keurigs 😂😂😂 that is crazy that the burner doesn’t stay on if you brew a single also 🙁 definitely a couple cons but this is a slick model! I like this one, I have always liked keurigs also, they pretty much got me through grad school!

[@AliciaLynnYT]

We do love our Keurigs! This one has been pretty nice. I think school is what got me started drinking coffee! Then I never stopped😄 Thanks for watching, Jessica!

[@meghanbonds4534]

The burner never stayed on on the original for the single serve side. I mean if you are using a single use cup you don’t need a burner.

[@angelnoe7667]

I read that if the pot side accidentally turns off to hold down the pot side button til it lights up an it'll come back on again

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Yes, thank you Angel!

[@adriennehudson295]

I don't like it cuz once you take it apart you can never get it back together you can't put the coffee filter for the coffee pot in without taking the part out and then it takes you two days to get it back

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Yeah, I agree that can be a pain at times!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

This is so great. We have the pods but it can get expensive. So it's nice to have the option to make more coffee. I can only do single cups in mine too. You can do quite a few cuts with that reservoir. Looks like a nice design overall. :-)

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Those pods can get expensive and I always find myself trying to get away from using as many so the pot option on this is great for that. So far this has been great!

[@dheckman1]

@@AliciaLynnYT Not knockin the Keurig, but I bought a Hamilton Beach that makes pots, kcups AND has a little hopper for your favorite grounds to make single cups. I like Pete's Sumantran blend, that I buy by the bag at Costco when they have it. It doesn't come in kcups. My wife doesn't drink coffee, so I use that little hopper for my morning cup almost exclusively. We use the pot side to brew tea for iced tea.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

@@dheckman1 I'll knock the Keurig myself at this point! Lol We have had a lot of issues with them through the years and finally after the one following this one stopped working, we went with Hamilton beach ourselves. Probably the same one you have.

We ended up sending this one back only because we realized it wasn't the model we paid for, we paid for the more expensive one with more features. We liked this one while we had it but have had nothing but problems with all the following Keurigs we have had after. We are on our third Keurig (different models) since returning this one. The other two both stopped working pretty quickly, so I'm definitely not impressed with Keurig at the moment either.
