[Electronics-Talk] Keurig

Hi.


\We like the K-Duo from Walmart. It's a Walmart exclusive. Costs $99. It 
brews regular ground coffee into a carafe or through a standard k-cup. 
Removable water reservoir feeds both sides. The buttons are simple small 
sunken in button at the top is k-cup, bigger sunken in button below that 
is carafe, big dome button below that is 12 oz (k-cup) or 12 cups 
(carafe), smaller dome button below that is 10 oz (k-cup) or 10 cups 
(carafe), and the bottom smallest dome button is 8 oz (k-cup) or 8 cups 
(carafe).


Fill reservoir, install reservoir, add grounds in a filter or a k-cup 
and press the appropriate top button for what you want and after a pause 
of a second or two press the size button below. There's a burner under 
the carafe that keeps it warm for 2 hours after a brew into it. They 
don't last for ever. Our first two made it about 11 months each. This 
one has made it longer and is showing no signs of failing. If you do get 
one, get the longest warranty Walmart offers which is only like $20. We 
keep getting them because they brew coffee into the carafe that tastes  
better than we've gotten out of a mister coffee machine or a bun so far. 
It's really a rather good brewer. We also tried the Mainstay dual brewer 
but it didn't taste quite as good. Speaking specifically of the carafe. 
We mostly just do hot chocolate with the k-cups at this point. Our 
favorite ground coffee is dunkan donuts. They have a decaf option which 
tastes just as nice as the regular. The k-cups taste wonderful as well 
but they have too much backpressure so we don't use them. The K-duo ends 
up putting water into the carafe when we try those in it and my iCoffee 
Remington DaVinsi k-cup brewer which brews with steam builds up so much 
pressure that if I open the lid within about 2 minutes after brewing it 
sprays coffee water all over the place out the top of the k-cup. Btw, 
you would like the DaVinsi a lot too but they don't make them anymore so 
you'd have to get one off Ebay or something.


My last thing is that Primo makes a water cooler that can put out cold 
water, room temp water, hot water or a k-cup brew. The neat thing about 
it is that you don't have to refill its reservoir every time or every 2 
or 3 times you want to use it because it just pumps water directly out 
of the water jug. So if you wanted a water cooler anyway, getting one 
that can brew with k-cups could be a nifty thing. I believe the cost is 
right around $200. I'm told the brew is slightly weak but I always 
thought most k-cups were too strong so maybe that would be to my liking. 
Not sure though, never tried it yet.
