Keurig Questions

[disney1990]

Our Keurig is over 3 years old. We use filtered water. We also have the refillable cup (not Keurig brand) and use any coffee that we want to use in it. In addition, when we buy K cups, we do so at Wegmans or Sams Club. Never pay full price for them.

We bought a Keurig at Costco (I think it was called a Platinum) several months ago and use it a lot.

I kind of don't see the point of the 2.0 though:
- If you're going to make a lot, it makes a lot more sense to use a regular pot.
- The carafe size requires a different K-cup. As of the last time I was in Costco (last night), they sell the 2.0 maker, but not the larger K-cups. I imagine that will change (BJ's sells them).
- For larger amounts, wouldn't it have made more sense for them to have a system that uses two of the same size cups instead of inventing another size?
- They pulled a dirty trick that doesn't allow you to use off-brand cups that aren't Keurig "approved". If you upgrade from an older Keurig to a 2.0, you could have a problem with older cups. (There is a workaround that involves taking the top of a Keurig cup and attaching it to the off-brand...but that seems pretty kludgy)
- 2.0 takes a lot more counter space.

I'm glad we purchased ours prior to the 2.0.
