I have a question that is totally not related to the maker machine... Can I just empty the cup content into hot water without the use of the single served machine?? Wouldn't that give me similar beverages?
I have a b100, when i press the button, nothing happens. It was working great, sometime you would have to press the button twice, but worked great till one day. Any advise?
@FullyAnonym I've never worked on a B70... just the B100... and it's the one and only one I've worked on. It shouldn't be too hard, just look for hidden screws and clips.
@FullyAnonym there is no way of taking it apart without breaking the clips, you should call keurig, they would replace it for free (even out of warranty.) all you have to do is say its not powering on and send the K-Cup holder to them (they will provide the address.)
@mysticmaria When you close the tray, a needle pierces the top and pushes it into a bottom needle which pierces the bottom. It then injects hot water into the top and pressure forces the water through the grinds and the filter before flowing out of the bottom. Does that answer your question?
SO many people having problem with these machines, my family included. My husband could probably fix the problem we're having, but he can't get the machine open. Would you consider posting a video on how to open the machine?
I just bought a newer model and it says in the manual it contains lead. I wonder which part contains lead I know its computer controlled so the PCB board and probably electrical wiring contains lead. I wonder if any of the water or coffee has any contact with the lead. I am just kind of Leary of using it yet until I find out? I do not know if it contains any copper tubing like some coffee makers have I have the
@Comptekhs Here's a secret; ALL coffee makers contain lead, and here's a surprise; if your house was built between 1600 and 2005 (or so), your plumbing contains leaded solder. The simple fact is, if the device contains lead in any form, it must be disclosed by law. The tubing Keurig uses is plastic; the boiler (far as I can tell) is made from stainless steel; the heating element is made from ni-chrome wire. PCBs should be lead-free. The amount you absorb (if any) is negligible, so drink on!
@Comptekhs We (in this country) tend to get too tied up in "OMGWTF WE'RE GONNA DIE" health scares; lead is all around us; as is arsenic, mercury, etc. I'd be more concerned with the amount of chemicals out-gassing from the interior of your new car (which is a known and legitimate health threat) than from the amount of lead in your Keurig (and, honestly, I'm certain it's not enough to harm you... they're just covering their tracks). Only two things in life are certain; death, and taxes.
The design is likely European or US but like everything else that once was a quality item they have all been sent to our friends the Communist-capitalist Chinese and made to look the same while the quality of materials and workmanship go way way down - yet the prices are actually more than they were when US made in most cases anymore. I bought a solenoid for my mower - MTD unit was US made and the Briggs & Stratton was all Chinese - MTD was a buck less and better made. Go figure.
So complicated yet my 1962 Pyrex glass percolator sits on the stove, you wait till it perks where you want it, take out the stem and basket and use the coffee - even reheat if you let it get cold. No power, no transformers, no pain (and no cups of instant to buy for it). I have a feeling there's a nice big "made in china" imprint on the label on back. If not I'm sure most is made in china and assembled here.
@rhblakeman This thing screams "Made in Germany" it's so damn complex! Actually, it doesn't say where it was made... but I do believe these early commercial units were US built (from foreign and domestic components). Everything in this unit appears to be off-the-shelf, except for the plastic housing... which makes it easily serviceable.
@rhblakeman The main reason the nation is flocking to Keurigs and similar single serve technology is that percolated coffee gets rank very quickly. Even an auto drip machine with the finest premium coffee in it is only good for what is served immediately. Coffee which remains and is kept warm on the heating element degrades very quickly as well. American coffee palates have been shaped by the premium coffee outlets. I can't stand perked coffee now.
I thought you were upgrading its ram at first =) lol

What is that machine at 7:07? From the side it looks like a Lexmark, but the front panel is one I haven't seen before...

We have a Keurig B70. It's broken. How do you take the cover a part?
Thanks for responding.
