Good morning I just bought the Keurig dual and I didn’t know how to use the large pot but I saw your video and it was very helpful and I just wanted to say thank you. It helped me a lot.

[@PovertyPointCustoms]

I'm glad it helped, thank you for the kind words. Enjoy!

[@elizabethhansberger2732]

Thank you for the tip on getting the left drawer in.😅 I came on KZbin after struggling with it for 20 minutes, and you answered it so simply.

Thanks for the video; I've wanted this Keurig for over a year now abd my children gifted it to me a couple of months ago for Mother's Day. I'm probably going to get the K cups since I only drink 1 cup at a time but definitely good to have rhe pot option when guests are over. 👌🏾

[@PovertyPointCustoms]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@lucasjackson5130]

I've had one for over a year. I love it. It's crazy how much I've saved by making pots of coffee rather than pods but still have the convenience and speed of pods when needed.

[@tonypantoni2717]

How can i make 4 cups of coffee on the carafe side. Thanks.

[@JanetCarr-p8y]

Thank you so much for your instructions. I could not get that damn basket in. It is a poor design. Thank you again. Great instructions.

[@PovertyPointCustoms]

Thanks!

[@josephbeaudry5453]

I noticed for the k- cup after you turn on it will shut off after it heats up. if you have not made a choice with ozs. So you have to select everything right away. Then when it's done it shuts it's self off after like 1min At 1st thought something was wrong but it's just how this 1 is.

[@PovertyPointCustoms]

Mines the same, it's a safety feature for it not to overheat, and for saving energy consumption

[@MSustaita1977]

To make 4 cups fill the water container with only 4 cups (no more than 4 cups) you then press the 8 cups button and it will only make the 4 cups, let the water finish and reset it by holding down the descale button when it starts blinking 😊

[@josieolvera3566]

Im going to return mine leaks from the bottom. I thought maybe I was dripping water as I filled it up but that’s not the issue 😩

[@PovertyPointCustoms]

Knock on wood so far no issues fingers crossed!

[@Angeluv-u8i]

Hello, I just bought this keurig, quick question, When I plug my keurig in it makes a non stop vibrating noise. I already ran a carafe and cup cleanse cycle when I opened. I long pressed to turn off on the button but it still makes noise. Only way to make noise stop is to unplug. Thank you,😊

[@PovertyPointCustoms]

Is it used or new? If it's used and it maybe partially clogged with minerals the motor is having a hard time feeding the water thru it, and if it's new I would say it's an issue with the motor (water pump)

[@shagdog80]

The float in the tank may be stuck

[@cchadmlavigne]

So this coffee maker doesnt make a full carafe?

[@PovertyPointCustoms]

Makes up to 4 cups

Another Canadian here that lives their coffee! Our previous Keurig Duo (with the stainless steel carafe) just gave out after less than 2 years. But that’s probably all you’re going to get out of these machines anyway. That one was around $250. Was looking at this model and had a couple of questions for you. -does the reservoir being on the back make it awkward for refilling? -is yours still working well? We found that the one that just broke had a reduced output of coffee (in both the carafe and pod modes) after about a year so we were having to run multiple cycles to get the same size cup/carafe. This morning it just stopped working altogether so we are in the market for a new one. Thanks and great video!

[@donnav]

*loves their coffee 😁

[@MrJusmobile]

Well done!

[@PovertyPointCustoms]

Thanks!

[@jasminethe3818]

I could not close the carafe and was ready to return it 😅, alignment was off.

This is my second Keurig Coffee Brewer. kzbin.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first one lasted 6 years. It worked beautifully until the day it didn't. It was hard to go back to the drip coffee for a couple of days while I waited on my Keurig to get here. There is a huge difference in the taste. Keurig makes a really good cup of coffee. This new one is a little different from my old one. I find putting the water filter in was easier than on the old one. Attaching the water reservoir was also a little different but once I figured it out, it too was easier. This new one has the auto off feature but is not programmable like the old one. Only three cup sizes instead of four. The odd thing for me was how much lighter in weight this one is compared to my old one. More plastic and much less metal in the construction of this one. The price is so much less than the original Keurig that I bought and the coffee tastes the same so all in all I am satisfied.

[@PovertyPointCustoms]

They work great!

Does your water reservoir have some kind of stopper on it so you can add water to it by removing it? Asking cause i just got one and if i have water in it and remove it, it all comes out, was going to call costumer service about it as well but wanted to ask

It does, you can take the reservoir out and fill it then reinstall it without it coming out the bottom

I personally haven't had any issues with it as of yet. Works well for me i can make a cup when i get up for work and brew a pot for my thermos to take with me to work. In addition ican brew a pot o. The weekends and save money by not using k pods on the weekends.... Not hard to use either

[@pentiuman]

I read your comment and just wanted to reply. Hope you got yours figured out and it's working OK. I bought this model about 3 months ago, and like it. But in the first week, it seemed to malfunction twice, and stopped putting out more than a few teaspoons of coffee for some reason. Had plenty of water. I also occasionally hit the wrong button - selecting carafe instead of K=pod, and thus found my mistake when plain hot water came down the left side into the carafe (since I didn't have grounds in it). I like to have at least 2 cups of coffee, using K-pods - cheaper brand ones from Walmart at $26 + tax for 96 K-pods, or about .27 each, before creamer cost! But about every 10th K-pod gets some grounds into my cup, but that may be the cheap Walmart K-pods. I also learned that my 2nd cup is always hotter than the first, maybe due to it pre-heating?
