Happy Chinese New year!
As mentioned in the previous post, it is a busy period, and chinese new year is especially hectic running from place to place for visitation and stuff. This time round, we really spend a lot of time in mummy god mum house where all the relatives congregate.
It was fun in the beginning and then I started to make noise and becomes a little bit uncontrollable that daddy and mummy has to bring me home. Oh, some of the special guest that we have are my god pa's parents.
They are in town, and they join us for a celebration in this cny eating goodies and trading stories. Of course, they got to drink mummy god pa's renowned coffee, which daddy said is better than coffee from keurig coffee maker, which he thinks makes one of the best coffee around.
Anyway, the festive mood come and go, and by now the fourth day of new year, everything should be very much back to normal and I would be back to my lao yee house and look forward to the next holiday which is in...gosh...april it is?http://www.oncoffeemakers.com/coffee-makers.xml

Here I show a quick demo of the Keurig Coffee Brewing System which I just recently purchased. You can read my full review here.
How much is coffee/tea is a Keurig coffee maker supposed to make?
We received a Keurig Classic Model - B44 for Christmas. I just bought some tea & some coffee to try it out. After priming the system and making my first cup (i selected the mug) it only made 1c of tea! I then used a new K-cup and selected the cup and it only made 3/4c. Is this correct??? And do you have to use a new K-cup every time?! I
I have the B40 model and I have the choice of 8oz or 10oz. The actual fluid volume is less than 8 or 10 ounces by about .25oz. I use cream in my coffee so I use a 14oz mug for a 10oz brew. It works perfectly because it leaves enough room in the cup for cream and doesn't over flow or spill as I'm walking around. I tried making a second cup of coffee from an extra bold K-cup and it was very weak.

Can anyone help me with my new Keurig coffee pod maker?
I have a new Keurig coffee maker that uses the pods and it worked great when I set it up, but now it's just constantly blinking "NOT READY". Is it broken?
sounds like it is broken.

I need help with my Keurig coffee machine?
I have been using my Keurig machine making coffee with the K cups for about 7 months. This afternoon, I was in the kitchen, no where near the coffee maker when all of a sudden it started pouring water out of the spout, steaming and making brewing noise. When I opened up the pod holder, the pod that was in there from this morning had burst and there were coffee grounds all over the inside of the pod holder. I unplugged it right away, cleaned it up and now when I plug it in it's dead. No lights, nothing. Did anyone else ever have this happen to them? Any ideas or suggestions?
I've had my Keurig for about almost two years now and love it. Double check to see if your machine is plugged into a socket that has a GFI. It sounds like a power surge or something of that nature. If that's the case you need to hit the little red button on the socket. I forget this from time to time!! I've been hoping mine would kick the bucket so I could get the model that brews 3 sizes instead of the one I have that only brews 2. You can also call 1-888-try-gmcr. They are super helpful...it's where I get my coffee. Good luck and I hope it works by morning!!!!

do you have a keurig coffee machine at home?
Do you like it? Do you think is convenient? Im planning on buying one and I just want to know others opinion.
I don't personally own one, but the coffee shop that I work at sells them. So far the B70 model has been the best seller over the B60. Guess people generally like newer models of anything. Anyway, people who I have sold them to come back to buy the K-Cup boxes and they all have very good reviews for their machines (Both models). They like the fact that clean up is a breeze and that it makes one cup at a time so it is very fresh. Having a lot of different choices of coffee and tea varieties doesn't hurt either.
That all sounds great if that's what the consumer is looking for. But in all honesty, if you do have a little time of the day to rinse a coffee pot and basket, it's not really worth it.

What's better for the environment? A Keurig one-cup coffee maker or an old-fashioned Mr. Coffee machine?
Probably about 10 cups a day are drank in the office.
While the Keurig only powers up for each cup, it does keep water heated within it for preparation. It also uses disposable K-cups for each use.
The Mr. Coffee brews the 10 cups all at once, but would be left on for 8 hours straight. Disposed of would be one paper filter. (Or, perhaps for freshness, two brews would take place.)
In any case, which is better for the environment?
I like my Mr. Coffee. I've heard a lot of complaints about the Keurig, that they don't last long enough for the money they cost. If you are unfortunate enough to have it go out after the warranty is up, the only thing you can do is throw it out and that in itself fills up the landfills. Based on that alone, Mr. Coffee is better for the environment. I've had mine for about 10 yrs.
