You folks are not going to believe it but before I heaved my old "broken" keurig into the trash, I gave it one last try for closure's sake. The damn thing worked fine! I have no idea what was wrong with it this morning. It was pouring water from the brewing part, back into the reservoir, brewing half a cup, stopping, then a full cup spontaneously, the cup-size lights were randomly blinking.....I mean it was WONKERS. There was no way I though it would work right ever again.
HTH do I explain a new $165 Keurig to DH when our old one works fine now? Oh, for Pete's sake!
HEHEHE, just store it deep in a closet until enough time has passed and he forgets about the big $165 sticker shock. Eventually pull it out and say you found it at a garage sale or something for cheap. You bought it for back up...
As for the dorm room, the B40 has a 6oz and a 9oz selection. You still have to refill before you can use the last bit of water. It's annoying when I know there's more than enough for a cup.
I'd tell her to keep a couple one gallon jugs of water near by. There's many of those water refill stands, that fill up a jug for around 25 cents. That way she doesn't have to do much other than take the lid off the reservoir and fill it. One reservoir fill lasts me about 2 days.
