I like Urnex Cleancaf for cleaning both the espresso machine and the drip. It is very low impact so I will use it often. If your water is very hard then a stronger descaler may be needed like Urnex Dezcal Activated Descaler.

A britta filter will alter hardness slightly for the 1st 3 weeks but not after that. This is much more important in an espresso machine then a drip machine but excessive build up is going to keep your elements from heating proper and impart taste. Purr filter have no effect on hardness. Zero water claims to reduce harness 0.

Here is a little something on water. http://www.big-rick.com/coffee/waterfaq.html

Another great site for kcups is coffeecart.com. Great prices and they carry Van Houtte.

bought one for my wife for christmas also. I called it her machine, but i use the crap out of it. Hard to beat a cup of coffee in 30 seconds.

Got a b40 last week. Chai Latte is quite nice.
Still working my way through the sampler to pick my faves on coffee.

Girlfriend picked me up one for Chirstmas. Love this thing during the week. Our favorite so far is the rain forest nut. Keurig is where we have been getting most of ours. I have not perfected the reuseable filter yet.

I just use an old spice rack for my K-cup holder. Works great and it didn't cost me anything extra

Anyone interested in a K-Cup/cigar pass? I'd be willing to organize.

Amazon has K-Cups Coffee & Tea (for use in Keurig brewing machines) from Coffee People, Diedrich, and Gloria Jean starting at $21 for pack of 50. Choose subscribe and save, and apply coupon code KCUP5499 to save an additional 10% making them from as low as $15.50 with free shipping. (from slickdeals)

Really good pricing. I love the donut shop coffee and the Jet Fuel.

Mine(platinum) was running a little off lately it would turn off after brewing 1 cup. It seems this is a known issue. I called Keurig and they are sending out a new unit no questions asked. If you are having problems call them. They offer great customer service they didn't even want the old one back. Oh and for my troubles they are sending 2 boxes of the coffee of my choice.

I went to BB&B to buy one for my folks and noticed they were all pulled from the shelves. The manager said it was due to an issue with the pump.

I'm glad to see the customer service was there...that's hard to find now a days.

Did the machine totally shut off, or just stop brewing? The reason I'm asking is because a while ago our machine started brewing a cup and stoped about half way. When we put the next cup in, it brewed that cup and what ever was left of the first cup that didn't finish...weird.

Yes! Ours is more of a motor like problem. Yesterday, I did clean it out with vineagar/water. Ran fine when I did that part. Later went to make a cup of tea and the problem resurfaced. Took longer to brew. Then it brewed half of what it was supposed to. Hit the button after it was ready again. Brewed fine that time. It's getting quite annoying to say the least. Darn machine is not even 4 months old.

Glad to know we are not the only ones experiencing a problem with it.
