[Electronics-talk] keurig 2.0

[Brent Harding]

My parents got me one for Christmas awhile ago. My first bigger one pretty 
well bit the dust because eventually, the motor started sounding odd, then 
it started dripping a lot slower and not giving as much coffee, but this one 
only holds a cups worth of water at a time. You need to measure with the 
coffee cup, or a clean one, to pour water in, but it is only power and brew 
for the buttons. I heard the 2.0 machines are all touch screen now, and they 
also don't let you use some of those cheaper brands Amazon sells. I'm not 
sure if the Coffee People ones are a knock-off or a brand they approve, but 
they work in this older one and taste pretty good.
