Keurig Vue V500 Single Serve Brewing System with 8 Keurig Vue Capsules

Pros: -Great product -Very good for making tea, coffee, and hot chocolate -Adjustable strength for coffee -Adjustable temperature -Programmable to turn on/off at certain times -Saves a lot of time compared to traditional coffee maker -Low maintenance, and easy to clean when needed. I love my Keurig. I initially got it because my wife would not make a pot of coffee on her own. So I figured this would be great for days when I didn't have time to make coffee before work, and it is! But it has done so much more than that. My wife also loves using it to just make hot tea, not even with a Keurig cup, she just puts a tea bag in a mug and has the Keurig pour hot water onto it, instant hot tea in a single serving, I am very happy with that. Beyond that, I was worried about the cost of the cups for this machine, but quickly discovered there are accessories you can buy that allow you to use just coffee grounds in it. Simplicity of the Keurig, and the low cost of coffee grounds. Being able to adjust the strength of the coffee is a great feature too. If the machine is off, it takes less than 2 minutes to get it on and get a cup of coffee out of it! Very fast and easy to use.

Cons: -Vue cups are hard to find. -Needs an accessory to be compatible with K-cups Vue cups are only sold in one store in my area that I know of. I quickly did research and found an accessory that allowed me to use K-Cups. I went with the Solofil V2. I highly recommend getting this accessory. It is great. Using that, the K-Cups work just as well as the Vue cups, and they are so much easier to find.

Overall Review: I highly recommend the purchase of a Solofil V2 with this machine. It will add a lot of functionality to it by allowing the use of K cups and the use of coffee grounds. Great machine, has made my life so much easier. Haha. I love it and highly recommend it to anyone who like a lot of tea or coffee.

Pros: Good coffee. Does beverages other than coffee. Can use K cups IF you purchase an adapter. My wife loved it when it worked.

Cons: MOST IMPORTANT CON IS THE KEURIG WARRANTY HAS A LOT LEFT TO BE DESIRED. Died within 7 days of use. Contacted Keurig directly, and they asked numerous questions, only to be told that a "brewing specialist" would contact me later that day. I never received the call. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO RETURN THE PRODUCT TO KEURIG IF YOU DO NOT TALK TO THIS "BREWING SPECIALIST" TO TROUBLESHOOT THE DEVICE FIRST. I sent them an email stating my disgust with their customer service just to be emailed back that they could not reach me by phone after numerous attempts. Could be my service provider... but I had no missed calls :) We just want our unit fixed. Defaults to 8 oz. of coffee EVERY time the unit is turned off. If you are used to drinking 10 or 12 oz of coffee each time, this is kind of annoying. Firmware update is not possible.

Overall Review: KEURIG WARRANTY DEPARTMENT: When a customer contacts you and states their unit does not work, and it is under warranty, shouldn't you actively try to contact them to get it working or replaced? This is my first experience with a KEURIG Brewer, and it has turned out to be a rotten experience.

Pros: Seems to work very well. Lots of options. Bought it for my fiance for the holidays and she really likes it.

Cons: The only bad thing so far is that when i went to Target they didnt have the v cups. Only had the k cups. You have to get the v cups, it wont work with the K cups. I found them at a local best buy, so they are out there, just not everywhere. I will probably be buying my v cups online, so not really a big deal.

Overall Review: Overall seems like a good product for a good price.

Pros: This was our first personal Keurig after having used them in a variety of commercial and office environments. Have to say that the coffee is better than prior experiences. Fairly easy to operate for both hot and iced coffee and tea.

Cons: The title says that it comes with 8 Vue Capsules which it did not! Since the Vue cups are not yet that available we had to wait until we found an K2VCup adapter so that we could use either the older K cups or our own coffee.

Overall Review: Keurig offered a bogo deal to purchase Vue packs on their site which we have purchased. Still waiting for delivery though.

Pros: My wife & I stopped drinking coffee as much so she took our K-cup brewer to work. We started to miss coffee, though, because sometimes you just need a cup. I got this on sale and it was definitely worth it. I haven’t experimented too much with the temperature control b/c the drinks come out just right for me. I absolutely love the two-step brews, too. Our current favorite is mixing the mocha latte starter with Sumatran Reserve coffee. And of course, it also makes iced drinks, hot cocoa, etc. The option to choose a stronger and/or larger brew is great, also. I like making drinks that are slightly larger than the standard size.

Cons: You cannot currently buy V-cups in stores. This is not really a problem for me since I have always bought coffee, even K-cups, though the Keurig online store. They are cheaper and there is a larger selection there. Some people may find this inconvenient, though.

Pros: Was nice while it worked.

Cons: Purchased on 4/15/2015, died on 12/27/2015. So $69.95 for a little over 8 months of use. I would say that since the cups sold for this are few and far between to avoid this brewer completely. I did not know that when I ordered.

Overall Review: Will contact Keurig to see if the one year warranty is worth anything or not.

Pros: Price.

Cons: The coffee it brews is pretty weak/watered down. It constantly complains to add more water even when near full (all Keurigs do)

Overall Review: I've owned this unit for over a year and make coffee many times per week. It's worked the entire time. I wish it were "better", but, for the price it is what it is. It makes 1 cup of watered down coffee very hot and very fast. Even using the "strong" setting, the coffee is still weak and watery - but I find many Kuerigs do the same thing. I am not dissatisfied and would purchase again. However, when this unit stops working I would not purchase the same model again - I would pay more and get another unit that is hopefully better. But, I have gotten my money's worth out of this unit. I bought a re-usable container so that's really important as well - I never bothered finding the correct cups for it and whenever I did use them they didn't taste good at all. 4/5 Egg

Pros: worked good , did what it was suppose to do.

Cons: Vue cups are hard to find, only lasted one year. the pump stopped working. most coffee brewers last a lifetime not this one.
