the reviews are from 2009, a lot has changed since then. I have now been through Two Keurig Vue machines (love the coffee) but the machine breaks down

I had one of these for a while and it was a bit of a pest. Eventually started leaking so I disposed of it. I'm sorry you are having trouble with the Keurig Vue. Keurig has a new machine called the RIVO that looks really cool but I've had no actual experience with it.I've switched to Nespresso and highly recommend it instead. Many more coffee types and pretty good quality machines (above Pixie model). Pixie tends to have leaking troubles but models above Pixie are very good. Hope this helps.

I do not think Keurig still makes and sells this product. There may be others like the Vue you mention, but this particular model is no longer produced so no more reviews.

I see that others have already answered, but I did want to put in my opinion, for what it's worth! I love this machine. I have a Keurig at work and we have one that sits in the garage, unused. I like full bodied coffee and I feel the Keurig, for me, doesn't fit the bill. It's fine for that second cup when I get to work, but the Verismo makes espresso and regular coffee, depending on the pods. It makes coffee that tastes as good, or better, than my very expensive Saeco espresso machine. I know Keurig is all the thing now, but I feel the coffee can be weak and tasteless. Just my opinion! I've had my Verismo for a year now and I still sing its praises!

It's highly likely that a replacement carafe will cost you as much, or more, than a new coffee-maker. These are the bottom of the barrel and not intended for decades (or even years) of use.

You are correct that K-cup right now has more beverage options. Although I personally like the Vue because of the flexibility to tailor the water temp for individual desire. Additionally you can set it for different sizes to include travel size coffee/beverages. I haven't seen that too often for the K-cup (travel size). I am finding more and more beverage selections so you just have to look around for what you like. I use it in the office and it gets used quite frequently so lots of happy smiles. Hope this helps

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 have had my machine for a year. I use it several times a day, for both cappuccino and americano, and have had no problems. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones, but I love the machine. It's all I use for coffee.

Hey Herman, my machine was brand new with warranty. When I got my machine I went to their website and register the serial number and received a awesome discount on vue packs.Once you are on keurig system you receive their warranty and customer service.

I started with the very first Keurig model made for the home, maybe 6-7 years ago. I loved it; it made noise, but not objectionable. It died recently, probably because i spilled some water that could have got inside. Then i got the B40. The noise is insupportable. I live in a condo and granite tops transmit noise. I now have it on 2 mouse pads and 3 Asian table mats, and I've put a little foam between the drip plate and the body. All this does help, but I do feel that the Keurig company somehow spoiled a good thing in their new lines.

It's a lemon like mine was....return it and get a keurig. The first one I bought didn't brew either so I returned it to Macy's and they sent me another....then, after two months the second one died so I called Macy's and they took it back.....got myself a keurig and haven't had a problem since!

Once u register ur vue, keurig will guarantee all parts. An example, my tank on it was melted due to another small appliance and they shipped a new one free no questions asked. They also will help u thru any probs that arise.

I had the K-cup machine and it stopped working after 2.5 years. I now have the Vue V700 and like it more than the K-cup. We use the refillable Solofill V1 with our own coffee. Works great. No worries about being able to purchase the cups. I had some left over k-cups and I just open them and pour the coffee/tea in the solo fill V1. Works for me.

I have had my machine for just under a year and I love it! Unfortunately it started putting out more water than steam when frothing the milk so I ended up with watery milk instead of foam. I contacted Lello Appliance Corporation355 Murray Hill ParkwayEast Rutherford, NJ 07073201-939-2555LelloAppliances@aol.comThey were very nice and referred me to electra-craft.com who does their warranty work. I downloaded the repaire order from their web site and sent the machine to them this week ($20.00) for two way shipping and am waiting for it to return. I'm sure that they have parts. You can contact them by email or phone. Very good people! I have had my machine for just under a year and I love it!

IMO, the K-Cup machines are more prone to failure. Check the reviews. As for selection, K cups beat VUE (V cups) for now. BUT!, if you purchase a Pod adapter called "Solofill V2", you can use K cups in VUE brewers. Good for those Brands/Flavors you can't find in a V cup.

Im on my second new unit which has just failed after about a year. The heater gets plugged and the unit is inoperable. Just contacted Cuisinart and will see what they say, but I won't be buying a new replacement again. It can make wonderful espresso! But I expect a machine to last longer than a year or two. Both units failed in the same way and had been run in two different locations, so it likely wasn't an issue with my filtered water.

I know what you mean Michael, we went through two of the Faberware percs and both died the same way -- heating element failure after a few months. Both were under warranty but the hassle of sending them back wasn't worth it. Last week we were in Wal-Mart and on a whim I decided to see what kind of percolators they sold. A nice looking 12-cup unit from GE caught my eye and we decided to buy it since it was less than $50. The build quality looks great, it makes good coffee, and it comes with an _in-store_, 2-year replacement warranty. If it craps out in the next two years, I can bring it in to any WM and they will replace it on the spot.

Same here. I don't think this machine is as good as it used to be. I wish I could help. I'm really disappointed with this purchase.
