Does anyone else have a problem with the mesh breaking under the pressure of the Keurig. Mine are breaking about 8 out of 10 times. Can't use them.
1160077
The pads never break in my machine. I prefer to mesh cups and like that they are biodegradable
1160078
have not had that problem but have not used very many as it is too acidy, don't like it and am stuck with 5 1/2 bags.
1160079
I've never had one break. I use the fog chaser blend and it turns out the best coffee ever. I know there are a few models that can't take these pods, have you checked the listing to see if yours is one of them? Good luck!

I have gone through hundreds and this has never happened. Have you tried cleaning the unit? Maybe the piece that punctures is no longer as sharp and clogged, which will put undue pressure upon opening.
1160081
Used several hundred since we discovered them. Purchased elsewhere. Never had any break, they work fine.
1160082
Never had this issue. Though I've only ever used their rainforest blend, but it also has the mesh. I've gone through probably 300 in the last couple of years.

No problem at all for me. Have had 2-3 cups per day for many months now. I get the Fog Chaser, but wouldn't think the packaging would be different.

This happened to me, and I figured out that you have to snap the coffee into the holder until it is flush with the top of the holder, this will puncture the bottom, but you have to do that in order for it to sit correctly in the K2V cup. I hope this helps, I had coffee grounds and water everywhere. I didn't think about pushing it down, I just assumed that it would be pushed in when I closed the top of the Keurig, but it has to be pushed down first. This is only if you buy the ones that have to use an adapter, if you buy the ones that have the lip on them, they will fit without having to "snap" it in.

I have owned one for 6 months and I am having a problem with the water being pumped to the top and dispensing. No matter what cup size dispensing does not occur, yet I can hear the motor continuing to run. I have an e mail in to Keurig since my machine is still under warranty. If they can't resolve my issue one way or the other, I will not purchase a Keurig again.I have descaled twice in the past 6 months, most recently two months ago and that does not solve the problem.

Why? Because they aren't well made would be my evaluation. It leaked there, and from above the filter basket. In fact they sent me two as warranty and they both malfunctioned similarly, one even leaked out through the on/off switch. That couldn't be too safe, I've since given up on that brand, and espresso machines generally.

I have a Keurig 1 cup brewer. I use only the screen/mesh part...if the little cup of coffee/tea doesn't fit into the screen then pour contents into screen and use that...it seems like the grey part is simply a container to hold the mesh/screen part, but maybe it fits into a different type of machine. I only use mesh/screen part

I have that same problem!!! I had descaled it, and 'cleaned' the machine parts with a paperclip (per instructions by rep on phone) and I still got short-cupped. I talked to the company a few days ago and complained, so they thought it could be a 'faulty k-cup holder' and they sent me a replacement. Well I put it in, and now my machine does NOT work at all! I called the company and they think the machine could be defective and are sending me out a new one. I hope THIS new one works!!!!

I know it is very hard to puncture the K cups on a Kuerig machine. We have to press the k cup onto the bottom prong to make it work, so it may do the same on your machine

2 superstar!I luv my K-Cup that came w/ my Keurig, i use Folgers Black Silk in it and never had a problem w/ it, comes out perfecto, i don't remove the piercing part either! Maybe ur not screwing on the lid tight or filling it w/ 2 much coffee grinds? I add right below the top, then turn the lid till it clicks! Close the top of ur Keurig and ur ready 2 go unless u may have a defect w/ ur K- Cup? I had a defect w/ my 1st Keurig unit my friend got me at Sams Club! Water would run out the bottom of my maker, called Keurig they were really nice and helpful, they sent me out a new 1 right away!

Yes! There is a problem. Seems like a new design and it is not right. Call Cuisinart and get another lid for carafe & a mesh holder, just inc ase there is a problem with that too. They have a 1-800#.It will not work right unless replaced!! somebody's idea of a new design doesn't work!!

This happened to me several times also.... was very disappointing because I love the coffee! Since then, I close the top of my Keurig carefully and that has seemed to help.

I've had this coffee maker for quite some time and I've never had that issue. We currently make Dunkin Donuts at home and we use the same amount we used when brewing other brands. My father's is the same model and was purchased earlier this year, but he doesn't seem to have that issue. There is an option on the maker to make it regular strength or to make it strong...maybe you want to try that?

Not sure what happened with the other folks but mine will be 2 years old next month and I haven't had a single issue. My Keurig brand before this only lasted 1 year. I use mine about 6 times a week. Coffee, tea and cocoa.I do use R/O water (though I read that I should not), as I want my coffee to taste good.

I'm sorry I can't help you, I do not like this machine because it's not sturdy and gets too hot while holding it down, after my first use I stored it away so I have not had to replace anything, had I used it as soon as I bought it I would have sent it back.....quickly!!!!

We had this problem the first time we used it. We had to take everything off and clean out the area where the coffee grinds are supposed to fall into the brew basket. There was so much compacted in there that we had to really dig and then use a can of compressed air (like you use to clean a keyboard) to get all the particles out. It has worked fine ever since the first time. Good luck.

I've had that happen to me. The problem was that the K-cup didn't puncture properly. I just removed the K-cup, turned it a little and re-inserted it. Making sure that it fully punctured. Worked like it was supposed to. Hope that helps.

Are you using a reusable k-cup? I haven't had that happen with the disposable ones. If the top of the reusable k-cup isn't fully closed (such as if there are coffee grounds along the top rim), then I have had that happen.

Hmmm - never had that problem with Melitta. I've tried a number of different brand reusable k-cups and Melitta is by far my favorite - I even use the Simplicity paper filters with them...could you be overfilling the K-cup so that the lid is not closed tightly? Sounds like the piercing spike of your Keurig is not hitting the opening on the lid precisely. Do you clean your spike regularly - maybe it has some buildup...
