| Problems with the Keurig single cup coffee maker (Posted on 5/13/11 at 8:24 a.m.)
I saw a bunch of threads recently about the Keurig coffee maker so... Recently my Keurig single cup has been getting clogged up. I clean it out and it still either spits coffee grinds into my coffee or gets clogged up again. Anyone else have this issue?

sadly i have had the same problems over and over. you have to take out the cup holder and unclog it. sometimes I have to unplug it and leave it alone for a few minutes and turn it back on. Very frustrating.

How old is it? Call Keurig. They walk you through a couple steps to clean it, if it doesn't work they send a new one. Just got my new one with no questions asked. Was a 10 minute phone call.

why not just put less water and grounds in your existing coffee maker?

The variety of coffee and time and ease of brewing a delicious cup of coffee are the benefits of a Keurig when working properly.

Why are grinds coming out in the first place? Is the filter in the cup being punctured?

I dunno. I thought it might be because of a clog at the spout causing a faster flow in than out. But I really have know idea.

Love my Kuerig and I was dead set against it at first.
Then I figured out that you can do 1 full cup with 1 pod, drink that cup down halfway and then do 1 small cup with the same pod, thus filling the half-drunk original cup back up to a full cup.
1.5 cups of coffee: 1 cup at full strength, the second cup at about 85% strength.
Cut my per cup coffee expense down to about .28 cents a cup.
Whaddayathinkofthat?
