Guess I will just stick with my Mr. Coffee

LOL, well at least you know what you do or don't want.

So far I like this machine. The pump is louder than the Platinum I think.

I didn't actually run a cup, but I put a label on a solofil container and pulled the lid down and it showed ready to brew. I did remove the hinges as it has a gasket. I won't use the ekowbrew one as it's designed different and not sure I'll use my own or not. Not while it's under warranty for sure.

debc, I am so happy you like it! It sounds like the work around for other kcups is pretty easy.

I was so surprised at how quiet the Platinum is, especially compared to my K40 which sounds like a train.

I'm pretty sure Keurig knew all the work arounds before they ever released it. It's not a very complicated machine.

I'll try a pot tomorrow, I will use that for company as a rule, but I have to play some more and I've already drank more coffee than normal. Not sure I'd ever use the timer as they tell you to warm the pot up first so the coffee will stay hot longer. I guess you could use that with an old cup and have it hot when you wake up and then make a fresh pot.

And I like Van Houtte Creme brûlée coffee. Hopefully my pumpkin will come soon, I can't buy that here apparently.

I cut out the top and bottom of a cafe express cup and use that for water. That way I can have as much as I want. I'm not sure why it's 6 oz? Seems like 8 would be a good size, that's the coffee default size. That was the easiest work around of all.

It's not as loud as my B79, but louder than the Platinum. I'll wait awhile before actually leaving a review on feedback tho. I've done too many reviews then changed my mind and they don't let you edit.

The carafe cups might make great scoops or measuring spoons for stuff outside like mixing fertilizer or poison. I know I'm going to save them and try.

debc, thank you for the preliminary review! I'm glad you rigged a way to get more hot water. I also love the way you repurpose the cups!

I returned my Platinum to Costco for a refund. I'm going to get another one from Target. None of those reviews had the PRIME error.

That was so annoying! It was an easy fix (remove the reservoir, tap the water spout, replace the reservoir) but not for my first cup!

I never had one, but ya, I'd want my first cup to work.

It's either the K75 Platinum or the K79 Platinum. I really want another one. I'm going to Target after work to get it.
