Does that mean that if you use your own filtered water, say from a Brita pitcher, you don't need to use the filters? That is correct. I've seen reports of K-Cups and accessories for the Keurig system damaging it - would this be covered by the warranty? Only Keurig-licensed K-Cups and accessories are covered by our warranty - you will see "Keurig Brewed" on the product's packaging.
Without this notation we can of course offer diagnosis and repair, but it may not be covered by the warranty. Does using a Keurig any model provide any savings over a traditional drip coffee maker? Given the wide variety of drip coffee makers available, it wouldn't be fair to give you an answer without proper research.
Lucky for us, Energy Star has done the research for us. According to a study collecting data from numerous energy-related organizations, single-serve coffee machines offer substantial estimated energy savings over traditional hot-plate drip coffee makers. Of course, a lot depends on your usage how often do you use it, how soon do you turn it off etc. For my wife and I, this is a significant figure The report also states that "reducing the duration of the active mode is the first and very simple efficiency measure to consider.
I will link to the report in the comments so you can take a look. Personally though I know the Keurig system by design does incur waste in terms of using more plastic, more places are offering Keurig recycling bins where you can drop off your empty Keurig pods for recycling. It is simple, efficient and makes a great cup of coffee.
I would, however, advise on reading the negative reviews found on this site - many of them are well-written and contain stories about what happens when the Keurig does NOT work as designed.
Personally I have yet to encounter any issues, but will update this review in six months or whenever something goes wrong.

Place this on the top of your unlicensed K-Cup. Close the Keurig, which will allow you to stick your little sensor to the coffee maker for a permanent fix! I love the coffee maker but felt that rating it only one star would help to bring this "fix" to someones attention that has a similar problem. I bought this K45 early December from a local retailer and in January it would not fill a cup and the descale light came on. Still just a trickle of hot water. I love this thing when it works Instead I decided to check out the insides so I got out some basic tools small philips screw driver and a pair of needle nose plyers After taking off the bottom metal plate and not finding any obvious problem and replaced it.
I then removed the drip funnel and made sure it wasn't clogged. My next step was to remove the 2 screws that hold the black "framework" that holds the upper needle and I removed the top trim cover screws 2 and removed the top and found that the tube and right angle fitting between the check valve and the upper needle was almost totally clogged with black debris I first thought that this must be plastic shavings that came off some internal part s. I removed the plastic "saddle" and cut away the zip-ties that secure the fittings and tubing together.
Cleaned everything and made sure the check valve was working properly by blowing from both ends. You'll only be able to get air through one end. I reassembled the valve and tubing and plugged the unit in, added water, turned it on and put the end of the tube in a bottle. It worked great!! I reassembled everything needed the needle nose plyers to help reposition the 4 screws in the holes since my fat fingers were too big The coffee maker now works like new.
Now what was the source of the clogging material?? It was coffee grounds. I theorize that when the latching lever is pulled down the top needle pierces the K-cup and the coffee expands during the brewing process, some grounds can get pushed back into the tube. The right angle fitting trapped a bit of coffee over the many months of use and eventually limited the amount of water that could get past. The higher pressure resulted in the Descale Light coming on and less than half the needed water getting through.
I actually love the coffee maker but rated only one star to bring this possible solution to anyone that has a similar problem. When the water comes out the tube, it will be HOT. I will not be held responsible for ANY injuries that result from any attempt at fixing the coffee maker. Go to Amazon. Unlimited One-Day Delivery and more.
