[Electronics-talk] for keurig coffee brewer owners, the keurig 2.0

Sat Sep 5 01:39:50 UTC 2015

I only got the Currig because it's now me by myself, and I couldn't find a 
single cup coffeemaker.  I have a Hamilton Beach one that's like a regular 
coffeemaker without a pot, because it brews a quart of coffee, 
approximately, but it has space for a cup underneath.  You push the button 
and fill the cup.  But actually, the coffee isn't as good as the ones I had 
before with the glass pots.  But I don't drink as much coffee as I used to, 
so the coffee goes stale.  I'm getting picky.  I used to drink the coffee 
until it was finished, but now I've gotten so I can't stand the taste of 
coffee after a while.  Pam.

I don't get it, either. So I agree with you. In fact, I won't pay more than
$10 for a coffee-maker and I don't even get why people want single-serve
systems when I go through ten cups a day! (smirk)

But people, not excepting blind people, want to kee up with the Jones's, I
suppose. (big grin)

Can somebody explain this obsession withKeurig coffee makers, which do not
seem to be especially blind friendly?  Last year, just after Thanksgiving, I
snapped up a KitchenSelectives CM688 Single Serve Coffee Maker from Bont-Ton
for only $9.  It is totally blind accessible, and brews a perfect 12 ounce
mug of my favorite coffee in less than 3 minutes.  All I have to do is fill
the water reservoir up to the desired quantity (8 oz, 10 oz, 12 oz , or 14
oz) by feelingthe the respective 4 raised, tactile vertical line embossed on
the inside back of the reservoir, add about 3 teaspoons of my favorite
regular ground coffee to the filter basket, which contains a removable,
permanent mesh filter, place the included 12 oz ceramic mug on the base, and
flip the rocker power switchc on.  In less than 3 minutes, I have a full mug
of delicious, piping hot joe, to which I add some sugar and Coffee-Mate.
What could be easier?  No confusing onscreen menus to navigate or array of
buttons to select mug size or temperature or other such nonsense.  And
cleanup is a breeze.  I just remove the filter basket and rinse the coffee
grounds down the drain under the kitchen faucet.  No overpriced and
overrated Keurig coffee maker for me!!!

Hello Danielle, one thing that I can suggest is to have a sited person come
over and program the cup size that you think that you would typically use
and once that is done, whenever you press the coffee button it will deliver
that size cup every time. That is how my sister-in-law's  is set up at her
house.

Well can someone tell me how to use it. I bought one quite some time ago
from QVC that I gave away. I just looked at it and it might not be usable
after all. It only has 2 buttons on it. One on the top right side on some
type of vertical angle and a small screen under it and then the second
button. Both buttons are square. They don't use it so if I can figure out
how I may as well. Some day I'll buy me another one. First I need to figure
out which one and how to work the darn thing.
