I got my original Keurig Platiunum brewer when I started nursing school several years ago. I have worked this poor machine to the bones for over 6 YEARS. I drink a lot of coffee, I use it a lot. It breaks every few months or so, I call the hotline, they talk me through all of the repairs and I fix it. It works for a few months and then it starts making short cups, the pump breaks etc etc. I would now consider myself a "Master Keurig Mechanic". Well this time, I cannot fix it. I am in denial and having separation anxiety. I purchased a new one and plugged it in, it is all shiny and new. But it is a stranger. I can't seem to part with this old workhorse. I don't want to throw it away. I keep thinking if I just try harder, I can fix it. I don't want to accept that I cannot fix it THIS time. I may need therapy. RIP my favorite coffee machine ever! We have been through good times and bad, and I hope your replacement will be as loyal as you were. 
I need to get a 4th one because this one is broken now too.
It's just the small, one cup one. DH uses it Monday through Friday before work (I use it in a pinch); I use our small Farberware percolator (which I much prefer), and on weekends we use the large percolator. But I love how the new Keurig looks. 
My mom had one of those! And yes, perked is best! Our Keurig is strictly for convenience. Like when the innards of our Farberware pot is in the dishwasher, unwashed, in the morning. Keurig to the rescue, or I'd have to wash the Farberware pot parts by hand. 
Step away from the machine, let it go to the great coffee room in the sky.
DH killed 7 Keurig's in a 2 year time span. I think he could just look at it wrong and the darn thing would break.
