Verified ReviewerExpensive machine they won’t replace
I bought a Keurig a year ago, its about 2 weeks over warranty and completely broke. Won't even turn on.
They won't replace it. It cost $150 and it just stopped turning on. I called, and the lady told me they would replace it, send the purchase information to them. After I did, they come back with, it's been over the year mark.
By two weeks! Terrible customer service. I've purchased numerous machines over the years and now I'm done!!
Never spending another dime on them again. Such a waste of money because they break pretty easy and often.
- Convenience of 1 cup of coffee at a time
- Needs a lot of cleaning
- Breaks easily
Preferred solution: Replaced
User's recommendation: Don’t waste your money

Verified Reviewer | San Antonio, TexasNot Happy With My Phone Call To Keurig Customer Service!
I called the Keurig customer service number I found on the web which stated it was in the US. After providing all the requested information, the phone finally rang and a gentleman who seemed to struggle with the English language and a heavy accent answered and asked for the same information I had just entered to make the call.
When I told him I had already provided that information and he should have it, he said he didn't have it and I would have to provide it again! Frustrated, I told him I didn't think he could help me and thanked him for not being very helpful and ended my call. I then contacted Keurig via email and have since received favorable responses.
If Keurig's customer support system is not able to maintain and transfer provided information maybe it's time to update their system! It is very frustrating to the customer to have to provide the same information over and over.
I really love Keurig products and will continue to buy and use them, but their customer support is lacking.

Verified ReviewerI received a dual coffee maker as a gift
I like the concept of a single cup or a pot of coffee. However, the first pour from the carafe leaks around the rim and I end up with coffee all over my counter.
After contacting the company about the poor design, their solution was to send me a new carafe. It also leaked! I contacted the company and said it leaks and the carafe has a poor design. They sent another one.
After the third time, they sent me a complete new coffee maker. Guess what, it still leaks. Nothing is wrong with the coffee maker. It is the CARAFE.
Very frustrated! How can this company stay in business if they are unwilling to listen to the consumer? By the way, I have never had other brands that leaked from the carafe!
Examples: Mr. Coffee, Black and Decker were okay.
- Nice desgn
- Carafe leaks horribly
Preferred solution: A carafe that does not leak
User's recommendation: The carafe leaks

Verified Reviewer3 in 3 years broken
My first Keurig lasted for 10 years, but in the past 5 years, the longest any lasted was 14 months. It's junk.
Do not purchase. The replacement process is cumbersome and the machines are not meant to last past the one-year warranty. One of mine lasted only 6 months.
Do not fall for what I did, thinking I just happened to get a lemon. They are just junk.
- If works at all then convienient
- Junk
- Made poorly
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified ReviewerInsulting customer service Not so smart brewer
So, I have a smart brewer that started recognizing fresh, new pods as used pods. I called customer support; the representative had me perform a brew cycle. Through Wi-Fi, a camera confirmed the issue. The representative then had me lift the lid with the already pierced pod and, surprisingly, my smart brewer then recognized it as a good pod and brewed. She then escalated the matter to tier 2 to check the software, and said they would call me within 48 hours. However, a week later, I received an email stating that they couldn't reach me by phone.
When I called back, I was given the runaround and told that, even though I had updated my phone number multiple times through them and on their app, they were still calling my old landline which I had gotten rid of a decade ago. They had me go through the hoops again. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was refused. Instead, they promised that a supervisor would call back before the end of the day and that they personally updated my phone number. But, no phone call was ever received.
When I called back the following day, I finally got a supervisor who verified all of the issues and yet, they still had my old landline as the contact. This ordeal had been going on for a week. Their answer? They apologized and now want me to send them a video to review and verify that there is an issue; even though their own machine sent them images through Wi-Fi. They also said that they would call me back, which was laughable.
I now feel completely insulted. They can't even update a phone number but I'm expected to jump through hoops for them to fix my machine. All so I can overpay for coffee by buying your pods at $46.99 for a box of 100 K cups weighing 2.4lbs, 39.1 oz or 1110 grams.
Thanks to the awful customer care, I did some research and I now see that I deserved to be treated so poorly due to sheer stupidity. Firstly, I've been overpaying for subpar coffee. Secondly, Keurig has been sold to an investment firm and merged with Dr. Pepper, hence the poor outsourced customer care. Thirdly, other brands like Cuisinart, who actually care about customer service, make single brewers that freshly grind my beans. In the end, between the brewer and my coffee, I will now save money.
Lesson learned: when a company continually insults its consumers, it's time to find a better company. Maybe they should stop wondering why their coffee sales have dropped and do some research into customer retention.
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: Don't buy from a company that doesn't care
Another Failed Keurig
I purchased (at full retail $200!) a Keurig Supreme in April 2023. Within a week or two the machine emitted a strange burning smell and refused to work.
Keurig kindly replaced the unit under warranty but within 2 months the replacement started to hiccup. From there it displayed a constant need of cleaning which I could not remove even though I attempting cleaning. The unit got cleaned several times manually but I could not get the display to cease. I did find that unplugging the unit (re-boot) and plugging it back in offered me a new start and the machine worked until it got confused again and a re-boot was again needed.
This frustrating machine continued to make good coffee but the electronics were screwing up, was told by a repairman that the expensive solenoid was failing.
Today the machine finally packed it in! So for under 18 months of coffee this machine has caused me nothing but hassle, I'm sorry I bought it. I have had a few Keurigs since they first came out but this has been a huge disappointment.
Your old versions worked much better! I found a used Elite model, kept it for when the Supreme failed because I knew it would.
I will NEVER purchase a new Keurig again!

Verified ReviewerShort life of the keurig
I purchased the Keurig K Mini Plus machine in September of 2021 after my previous Keurig died after 4-1/2 years of use.
Now, in August of 2024, after barely 3 years of use, my Keurig Mini is dying. The function parts of the Keurig Mini have always had kinks, i.e.
having to hit the brew button several times before it would start and not all of the water in the water reservoir emptying out after each use. Overall, just not a quality made machine.
For how expensive these machines are, they are NOT worth it!! I will now be using a coffee press to make my coffee, which from what I hear, makes a much better tasking cup of coffee than the Keurigs make!!!
A very dissatisfied customer!
- Now after using the product for years
- Not a quality product for the price
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: Do not buy Keurig coffee makers
Poor customer service all service agents cannot speak the English language
Have a supervisor on duty for customer complaints of issues. Have people who dont hang up on you. Everyone gives you a different answer nobody seems to know there job
User's recommendation: dont purchase Keurig products
I tried 3 times to restart my auto delivery but no coffee still. I called and cancelled my subscription.
Train your phone people to handle the situation. They just gave up and said corporate would have to handle it. I never heard from corporate.

Verified Reviewer | Springtown, TexasPiece of junk.....again
I wasn't happy to even have to pay a discounted price to replace my 3rd broken Keurig in 3 years, but after them making a 50% off full price offer, I decided to accept it. Of course they won't offer it on the model I want.First they said it's out of stock.
When I went online and it's orderable and available, they then said that model doesn't qualify.
Really? From terrible to even worse service!
I called Customer Service again. They offer 25% off if I repurchase.
*** I think as it would still be a waste of money.
Agent forwarded me to a higher complaint level and then cut me off.
After 30 minutes on the phone, I would have to start all over. Very unhappy
User's recommendation: Poor product; poor service

Verified ReviewerCancellation policy
I tried to cancel my order less than 30 minutes after placing it. They said they have a policy of not cancelling any order - ever. They did not tell me about this policy when I placed the order.
- Ave life appears to be 2 years based on my experience
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: There are other brands that are more reliable and with in place cancellation policies. This was my 3rd Keurig in four years- previous two shorted out.

Resolved: Reneged on in-warranty replacement due to receipt
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with product replacement. A BBB complaint was filed on 5Aug24.
I got a nice email from the company. I got my new coffemaker a few days later and love it so far.Thanks POC for the help, providing a forum to assist with recovery, and a place to vent!.
I already bought and use a product other than Keurig. I am just still angry that $160 is wasted.
And I only used filtered water! So in my opinion the frequency should be longer. (I noticed Keurigs are prompting more often descaling-maybe to sell more solution) I did the descaling anyway. Then Monday 22Jul24 I tried to use it and noticed a smell like something was burning.
It was dead.
Contacted support and was promised a replacement. Nothing was stated about paperwork requirements then. I no longer have the receipt. Bank statement was insufficient.
I got an email of denial for failure to provide proof of purchase. They will not work with me, and I am done with Keurig!
- Easy to use
- Prompts for descaling too often
- Despite what water is used
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Do not buy

Verified Reviewer | Kansas City, MissouriAlways have a problem with descale and lack of knowledge by customer service
I think this is my 6th or 7th machine. Currently, I have the cafe model.
Their quality has really gone down in the last 10 years. Customer service put me on hold for 40 minutes only to tell me I am out of warranty and to manually descale as needed. I believe she was just keeping me on hold that long to see if I would just hang up.
That is the bigger point. I will look for another option this time.

I had the same issue with carafe leaking on my Keurig Duo. I finally bought a replacement at Amazon that is made for the Keurig Duo and it never leaked. I have a different complaint also, after 6 months of use the machine completely quit working, Keurig just gives me the run around and refuses to make good on the 1 year warranty.
