Keurig K525 Single Serve Coffee Brewer, Slate

I've been using Keurig coffee brewers for many years and found both reliable and long lasting. After using my B60 Special Edition for the past 15 years and the family and I making literally thousands of cups of great coffee in it I decided it has done it's job well and needs to be retired, (by the way it still works great). I ordered a new 525 model. This new model has tons of great features beyond the old B60. The touch screen menu is almost endless and loaded with features. A large selection of brew sizes, 80oz water reservoir, choice of screen light colors and even a screen saver. It can brew any size cup or mug and even a 30oz carafe of your favorite blend. Another interesting feature is being able to change the strength of the brew and I mean selecting different strengths from the same K-cup. I didn't know they could that but it works fine. I brewed my first cup on the strongest menu setting and it was so strong I had to back it down a notch. Amazing technology. The Auto on/off feature works perfect and this brewer also has an Off after each cup and can be set for however long you want it to stay on after making your cup. I can't say enough about how impressed I am with this newer generation Keurig.

I absolutely love my keurig, i've wanted one for a while now and was so excited when i got this one. I couldn't wait to set it up and get it started. Once i got everything together i had to fill the water tank and once it was turned on i had to do a "test" cycle which just heated up the water and dispensed 6oz of water and sterilized everything. Then it's good to go from there, i went out and bought some k-cups and used my amazing keurig for the first time. It only takes keurig brand k-cups so keep that in mind. It also gives you the option to do more than 8oz but i just went with the 8. It was a little strong but it was very quick to heat up and i had my coffee within minutes. It's really great on those days you're running late. One thing i love is it can be set to go off in the morning and it has different backgrounds and you can change the color. It also has a night light feature which i think is awesome. I've had it for about 2 weeks now and i honestly can't find any cons besides that it has to be keurig brand k-cups. Definitely love this. This was sent to me for review, all opinions are my own.

This is an excellent coffee maker. I had debated buying a Keurig for a few years now, but when my Bunn coffee maker broke last weekend I finally decided to try the Keurig. I love my new 525. I was foolish for waiting so long. I like the large capacity water reservoir and the fact that you can use the carafe also. It has techy features like different wallpapers for the display screen and a lighted water reservoir that you can change the color of. Cool little features like that. Works great. This will be my next coffee maker also. Love, love, love it!

I love my new 2.0 Keurig coffeemaker! It's much easier to program and has many features my old Keurig didn't have. In addition, although it has a larger water reservoir, it seems to take up less space on my counter.

I gave this as a Christmas gift for my boy friend and he absolutely loves it over his Keurig K55. He's only been using it for a week now but he loves all the features plus it lights up at night which neither one of us expected. Since it gets dark outside by 4pm during the winter months and he is a third shift person he really enjoys that extra feature. When asked what he likes about it the most he said the looks of it and the fact that it can brew a whole pot.

What most people don't know is that the"perfect cup" is 2 TBSP per 6oz water. No one drinks just 6oz. Most coffee cups are 12. So to get the perfect real cup you have to brew 2 kcups at 6oz each or buy the reusable carafe filter. They say they sell k-mug pods for larger oz cups, but you can't find those. The only in store filter is The Brew and Save filter, which is terrible, never closes right. And it's only 4 TBSP (12oz for perfect), a carafe holds 32oz, so now i have to fill, brew and then empty that filter 3 - 5 times to fill the carafe. BTW- if you go online, you won't find one made by Keurig. The menu on the machine is confusing, had to Google how to get through it. It's a great machine for a single person or 2 single small cups. Avid coffee drinkers, don't give up your old makers quite yet.

I never had a Keurig machine before, and was so happy to start using it when it arrived. I thought it would be hard to program, but it was so simple, and fun too. The machine offers wallpaper option for the screen, and you can change the color of the light in the reservoir. Each family member uses the auto on/off feature to have the water in the reservoir preheated at different times. The machine is quiet, and the water heats up rather quickly, and the beverage stays hot for a good while. Before each drink I make, I always do a cleansing brew to make sure there are no leftover coffee grounds from the previous user's K-Cup. One time I made a cup without cleansing, and it had some grounds in it. So far I have only made coffee, but I bought some Swiss Miss Cocoa K-Cups and plan to use them soon. I don't have a problem with the fact that you can't use older K-Cups, generic K-Cups, or your own grounds. Since I never had a Keurig before, I didn't have any laying around going to waste, and I don't mind buying the newer Keurig Brewed cups, and it's no skin off my back just using the flavors Keurig offers. I would change how much water you need to put in the reservoir. I use bottled water, and it takes too many of my bottles to fill the container. I think you should be able to put as little or as much water as you are actually using at the moment.

I was so excited to receive this product! Me and my husband are coffee lovers but we always fight about who is going to brew it and who will clean up after. Keurig has been the answer to our over-caffeinated prayers! Straight out of the box the machine is impressive. It looks fabulous. It's a bit big, much bigger than I expected and it actually doesn't fit under our counters, but we love it so much, we're gonna find a home for it. Definitely check the dimensions before you purchase. The set up is super easy, the touch screen leads you along, and I didn't have to even open the manual to brew my first cup. (The manual, however, is actually really beautiful and a breeze to get through). I am super disappointed that this machine does not use the reusable cups. It feels limiting, as we have our favorite brand of coffee that, as of right now, does not make K-Cups. I'm sure someone will figure something out eventually, but as of right now, you're stuck with the 2.0 K-Cups ONLY. The coffee, however, is DELICIOUS. I made the Starbucks Pike Roast, and it was delicious. It's absolutely perfectly brewed and ready seemingly instantly. All in all, I am very excited to have this, and I know I will be using it everyday. Hopefully, they will have a reusable K-Cup option soon. If you're considering this machine, I recommend it. Just be aware of the size (it's big!) and that you will be using 2.0 K-Cups for a while.

The most disappointing thing about this machine is not all keurig cups work with it. I had recently stocked up on Gevalia cups. This machine won't take them. It also won't take some of my 'older' as in 6 months old, Swiss Miss cups, as well as store brand k-cups. I enjoy grinding my own beans sometimes, as we all get coffee as gifts. This machine won't allow you to brew those beans in a plastic k-cup. I like the styling and the caraffe capacity is nice, in that it allows you to brew more than one cup at a time. The only place I have been able to find caraffe cups is at walmart, and the only brand I have found is 'donut shoppe.' The touchscreen is cool and I like the 10oz capacity. The large water resevoir is great because I can go 3 days before refilling it. I'm disappointed in that you are stuck with only buying and brewing keurig k-cup brand coffee pods. My older machine let me brew anything I wanted. This is a very honest review, and my old one was rejected. Perhaps it was too honest. Bottom line is... this coffee lover wants a machine that lets her brew the coffee of her choice, not only keurig brand coffees. Thus, the 2-star review.

only works with there brand cant use any brand but theirs constant error messages coffee runs all over table or counter water never hot... only warm
