Community Coffee K-Cups - **Updated Solution in OP**
Posted on 1/25/18 at 11:01 pm
Posted on 1/25/18 at 11:01 pm
***UPDATE: I called Keurig’s corporate line and they told me the issue has to do with the water. Said it occurs all over. Their solution is for me to buy bottled water and use only that to brew coffee. All I can think of is how much more $$ I have to spend to make one cup of coffee. *** 
*****UPDATE 2: It’s been 3+ months, and the bottled water solution did the trick. Still pretty ticked off about it though since BTR is supposed to be high quality. Baffles me why this thing needs bottled water to work.
I bought the latest and greatest Keurig this past Christmas to replace our 8 year old one. And right off the bat, it kept plugging up and putting coffee grounds in our mugs. I took it back assuming I had bought a lemon, got a new one, and STILL have the same problem!
I’ve done all the cleaning steps and also tried other brand K-cups. And after some thought, I’m leaning towards the conclusion maybe the Community Coffee K-cups have a defect.
Any other OT Keurig owners notice this issue?

Just get the filter cup and put coffee in it. Problem solved.

I use them almost every day in a Keurig with no issues

I don't necessarily get grounds overflowing, but it takes forever for the CC cups to fill up a 8 oz cup of coffee.
For better or worse, I think the CC cups are over-filled

Had a single cup keurig for 5 years and never had any issue.

yep, I have had the same issue...it happens on one keurig but not on the other...and we use community in the keurig at work and have never had an issue with it.

Yes, happened a few months ago with a newer Keurig and cups bought from Sam's at Cortana. Cleared up the next month and always worked in older Keurigs. The trick to getting it to work in the newer one was to push the cup down before lowering the lid.

3-5 cups everyday no problem.

Instant coffee FTW

Switched from the Keurig to the Ninja Coffee Bar and will never look back. Community Pecan Praline was my fave K Cup though.

K-Cups are so fricking stupid and produce such shite coffee. Plus they are way expensive and the k-cups are way over priced and produce so much trash.
A traditional drip machine is better than that weak coffee. If you want to step your coffee game up, get an aeropress, french press, or moka pot. I haven't used the latter yet but the aeropress is by far the best method I have used to date. The only downside is you can only make 1 or 2 cups at a time, but that is fine with me, as the quality of it is >>>>> kcups.

If you are a single cup type, do yourself a favor and get an Aeropress. If you drink more than a cup get a French press. It really doesn’t take that much longer to boil water that it does for the Keurig to warm up.

If you're going to use a Keuring, Peet's Coffee has the best k cups.

I actually just poured a cup with the CC K-Cup, and no issues. I think it may be your Keurig. I’ve only owned one, but it’s not given me any trouble, and during the week when I just want a single shot of coffee in the morning, it’s worked like a champ.
