Who has owned the pot for more than a year? 2nd Keurig died. Don't want to spend $200 on a a 1.5 year coffee maker.

I had this coffee pot for over 3 1/2 years. It just stopped working July 20th 2015 and I bought it December 2011.

I bought mine in 2011. It still working just fine. I descale it regularly with white vinegar as mentioned in the instruction booklet that comes with the machine. Sometimes, right after cleaning, the machine doesn't draw water. When that happens, I place the end of a drinking straw over the air intake tube just inside the top of the water reservoir and blow through it. That's all it takes, and everything works fine again.

Ours is about two years old. I think the trick is to do the de-scaling procedure as well as keeping the piercing needle open.

I have had an older version of this machine for about 4+ years, finally time for a new one.

Mine died after 3 months, the cuisinart customers service is bad.. you have to pay for shipping and you don't know if the one they will send you is working.. if it's broken then you have to pay again for the shipping. Just look for the cheaper brand. .

Call Keurig. In fact, you should always contact the manufacturer first even if the warranty has expired. Sometimes they'll bend the rules or at least protate the cost of a new one.

I'll update my original post by adding I did purchase another Senseo coffee machine, the same as I had but a different color. Here it is 2012 and I'm still hooked on the froth!My friend bought a Keurig and after I tried it I thought it was just OK, not special like Senseo. When we have guests over I usually make a pot of drip coffee from the very old Melitta pot and funnel type filter that I used for many years. If we run out and someone wants just one cup I'll get them a Senseo Kenya or Kona and watch their eyes widen after the first sip. Glad I bought another Senseo and I hope to get 5 years out of this one. Thanks for all your comments.

I had my first one for about six months before it started to have troubles. I contacted cuisinart and described the problems and they gave me some troubleshooting instructions that got me back up and running. At a little over a year, it pretty much died. Contacted cuisinart again, who sent me a new unit in less than a week. Yes, I gave them $10, plus paid to ship the old unit back. For a $200 investment out of warranty, I considered that fair. Replacement has worked just fine for about four months now. Couldn't be happier. Life happens - cuisinart could have told me to pack sand, but they didn't. Some people act so precious...

I've had my coffee maker for over a year now and have had no problems. Maybe u got a defective one. Is it still under warranty? I absolutely love mine.

Hi there! I've had mine 3 years. I used it primarily for camping. I own several machines. Don't ask. I've started using this one in the house as primary. I love the size, coffee is really hot, programmable and auto shut off.

do not get your question. While I have your attention, There is one problem with the Keurig. I have the home in Fl and one in Ohio. When I am gone from Fl for 5 months, I often have to buy a new Kuerig as it stops working. it is expensive.

Ok. Your coffee maker is still under warranty. Return it to where you bought it and get another. If they don't cooperate, contact Mr. Coffee, online, and they will make arrangements to send you a new one. I just did this very thing because of a bad heating plate that rusted out. Best of luck!

Ufortunately the product is really bad. I had other serious problems with mine. I lasted less than 2 months before 1) pause to pour stopped working, then 2) the heating plate just overheated (thermostat issue I presume) and overheated boiling the coffee in the pot. Threw in the trash. The last 4 coffee makers I have purchased, all different brands, have ended very badly and very quickly (1month to 6 months for the longest life). They are all bad and not made to last. Now have a Keurig with issues. Sorry I cannot give more constructive feedback. Good luck!

This will astonish most of you (as it did me) but my DCC-1100 lasted about 7+ years, problem, free. And it was thoughtful enough to die after brewing my coffee this morning. This may have been pure luck/chance but I just bought the same model.

You are getting a question back. When you say "old", how old do you mean?? Our Mr. Coffee TM20 we have had for at least 7 years. I recognize they have changed the unit style because I purchased one for my mother 3 years ago and it looks quite different from ours.

The carafe did not show up yet. I expect it today (12-1-08). I will repost again based on its arrival. My wife and I shopped for a new pot just in case this does not work and WOW, there is a lot of moving parts on the other models. Mr. Coffee was rated by consumers as a good buy but the people who have bought and used the unit said it is a terrible design. Cuisinart has way to many cheap feeling plastic parts. The newer Melitta unit was also rated low. I sure hope my older Melitta holds out for a while.

I only use it when I want coffee. Did test to see how to program and the second reply that you received worked fine .Good coffee pot for the price. My more expensive one didn't make the coffee that hot after only two years. Figured if this one does the same I still got a good deal for the price I paid for it.for the price I paid.

Sandy, I had this coffee machine... IT STINKS.. to put it mildly. Same problem you are having. I loved the coffee but the pot was a pain to deal with. The only model worth the money and I'd buy it over and over again is the "Hamilton Beach 48464 Brewstation Summit" Believe me, get the 48464 and you will not be disappointed one bit. GREAT COFFEE, NO LEAKING, NO PROBLEMS... I THINK IT IS BEST TO START OUT WITH THE ONE YOU HAVE SO YOU WILL NEVER BE WEAK ENOUGH TO PURCHASE THAT MODEL AGAIN.GET RID OF THIS ONE AND GET THE ONE I HAVE. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY....

Ours is about 6 years old and still working, although noticeably slower that when we got it. We brew an average of 4 to 6 cups a day. Even though we de-scale it about 2 to 3 times a years, I have the sense that it's suffering from "hardening of the arteries" due to age. We're planning on purchasing a replacement soon, however, it will be downstreamed to one of our sons. And why not? It still works fine . . . it's just a bit slower than we would like.

The used ones are good for parts. I loved them but gave up because I kept on buying used ones to keep mine going. I decided to buy a Keurig K45 or K75 (Don't remember) but love the k-cups a lot better. They are a lot more money but worth it.

My vue500 stopped working suddenly as it would just not power on. I was told by Keurig that if I used 3rd party accessories it would void the warranty, so beware of providing that information. I see in the comments that the needle can get clogged with coffee grounds, but I don't understand how this would prevent the machine from powering on. Anyway, they did send me a new coffee maker, and before I send the old one back I will look to see if the needle is clogged. I hope they can come up with a better adaptor- the k-cups are cheaper! But I do love the metal filter for using my own coffee - works wonderfully well that way! My vue500 stopped working suddenly as it would just not power on.
