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

Sat Sep 5 09:53:47 UTC 2015

Hi, everyone.
I have a Keurig, so thought I'd join this topic.
Mine is the k10 mini plus, I believe. I got it for Christmas last
year, my dad got it at canadian tire, but I'm sure people in the US
could find this model elsewhere.
I do have to refill the water tank after each cup, but it's a minor annoyance.
Also, I've noticed that I can get two cups of coffee out of one k-cup.
All I do is just brew the second cup as normal and, to me, it tastes
almost the same as my first one.
