What would you do? My Keurig died last week. It lasted a measly 2 1/2 years. I bought it at Costco so they'll take it

[Floyd R. Turbo]

back and give me a refund. I scored a new Keurig today on sale for $100. at another retailer.

Would you return the dead Keurig to Costco or just write off the $100.+ it cost?

[MiHale]

1. Nope...Costco stands behind the things they sell....

I’d at very least …if you have your original receipt…I’d try…worst they can say is no.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

10. I do and I will!

[FoxNewsSucks]

2. Get all your money back, and buy a french press.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

11. Too much work!

[FoxNewsSucks]

22. Yes and no,

I have a one-mug ceramic press that I use at home, and an insulated stainless steel 34 oz press that I take for work when I make coffee for myself and a couple others.

At home, I have what I should probably consider an embarrassingly-complex ritual that I go through to make myself HOT coffee, and it's sooooooo good. It is more work, and it does take longer than just pushing a button.

At work and traveling with the group, I just make the large press of coffee, dump the grinds and that's all. It's not that much more work.

A while back, I stayed a week at a place that only had a Keurig so I bought a box of K-cups from a local roaster whose beans I often buy when I'm in that city. It was a lot better than the starbucks and Folgers cups provided, but not even close to as good as the exact same coffee made in a french press.

3. I like Chemex. Pour over method...

Yeah it takes longer but my coffee is oh, so good (and no plastic touches my morning brew).

[Floyd R. Turbo]

12. Can't wait for my fix!

[cachukis]

4. Pour over cone, $10.99. Fresh grind. I can take it

everywhere.

[hlthe2b]

7. Yes. This has been my ideal solution for years now. Makes great coffee without waste.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

13. Too complicated!

[Intractable]

5. I just returned an air fryer to Costco that was purchased 1 1/2 years ago.

Damn thing just stopped working.

They took it back, no problem.

Costco is one of few companies that actually inspire customer loyalty.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

14. True that!

[Bobstandard]

6. Screw the wasteful Keurig style coffee makers

Better, cheaper coffee from just about any style coffee maker. Those capsules are an abomination against nature.

[hlthe2b]

8. Exactly. Those capsules are full of plastics and other environmental contaminants...Pour over works great.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

15. You can take my Keurig when you pry it from my cold dead hands!

[FoxNewsSucks]

21. That's how I feel about my gas stove,

but k-cups are wasteful and expensive. The coffee is OK, if it's a good coffee. I've used them in hotels.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

25. Just like me! Wasteful and expensive!😁

[mopinko]

23. u can get a reusable thingie.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

24. I have one!

[hunter]

39. Nothing beats an electric kettle and instant coffee for convenience.

It's also a quick and easy way to make tea and hot chocolate.

I've been known to drink cheap beer too.

My wife prefers quality.

I like to keep things simple.

The ritual of making or buying coffee does nothing for me.

My wife bought a Keurig as some kind of compromise.

We have a French press, manual drip coffee maker, and grinder so we can make fancy coffee if we choose to. We've also got the reusable k-cups. Most days those sit in the cupboard.

When I'm being an annoying environmentalist I'd say that simply growing coffee is bad for the environment. There may be ways of getting a caffeine fix with similar ritual that have a smaller environmental footprint.

[VGNonly]

9. For small batches I use a Coffee Gator.

Pour through glass, with a very fine mesh stainless steel paperless filter.

Big batches a stovetop old fashioned steel percolator.

Plastic is the DEVIL!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

16. Praise K-cups!😈

[True Dough]

17. Stop beating around the bush!

Just buy the entire Costco operation call it "Floyd's". Then the coffee-maker will be the least of your worries.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

18. The first thing I'm going to do is raise the price of the hotdogs! 🤗

[True Dough]

19. Ha!

That would be one way to ensure you're even less popular than the current White House incumbent!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

20. 😬

[no_hypocrisy]

26. Melita ceramic coffee dripper.

$8.99 and you use #2 sized filters.

Works well for commercial ground coffee (Maxwell House, Chock Full 'O Nuts) as well as home-ground and store-ground beans.

Just don't chip or break it.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

31. I'd break it! 😬

[no_hypocrisy]

45. They make them in plastic too. Jes sayin'

[Floyd R. Turbo]

46. I'd break it!

[bucolic_frolic]

27. Return. The cost is built into their business model. They get good will with the public.

It's simply your turn to be covered.

I'm learning new ways to coffee. The rec is to buy light roast beans, grind fresh weekly, to max chlorogenic acid. Not sure the hardware I'll use. Boiled water over grounds is my low-tech method for years.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

32. Good point!

[Emile]

28. I would stop wasting my money on Keurig, and buy a cheap

Hamilton Beach coffee pot for around $15.00 @ a dollar store.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

33. I love my Keurig!

[Botany]

29. Just get a good drip coffee maker or a French Press then find a local person who roasts his or her's own

… beans and grind them yourself. Much better coffee.

Those Keurig machines are terrible for the planet.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

34. 🤔

[Botany]

37. Those plastic prefilled coffee things are made from oil and non recyclable

And fresh ground beans taste much.

P. Mail me if you want some information on a little local coffee place in Columbus. He roasts his
own beans and ships them anyplace. Btw I get nothing out of this. It really is a small business.

https://joe.coffee/locations/oh/columbus/yeah-me-too-coffee-columbus/

[Floyd R. Turbo]

41. Thanks but I gave up grinding twenty years ago!

[Botany]

44. My friend can ship the beans ground.

BRW you can never be unhappy when you
are grinding your own coffee beans.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

47. 🤔

[ProfessorGAC]

51. Just An Add-On

Nearly all plastic is non-recyclable.
Other than sneaker uppers & carpets, the amount of recycle that can be used in new plastics is very small.
7% recycle is considered very good. 4 or 5% much more likely.
None at all is still too common.
Compound that with the fact that people only feed about 70% of plastics into the recycle stream and plastic recycling starts to look more like myth than reality.
It's why I'm such a strong proponent of a return to paper.
Milk, juices, household cleaners, prepared meats, bags for groceries....
Those things, made of paper/cardboard, served us well for a couple hundred years. Going back to that offers no downside to the consumer & eliminates millions of tons of plastic waste.

30. Return the broken one to Costco, return the new one and then buy one at Costco. What

are you thinking, reward Costco for being a good company, it will only reward you back.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

35. Costco doesn't have the model I bought! The most inexpensive one at Costco is $70.00 more than what I paid!

[dem4decades]

36. Costco doesn't buy the lower end models, that's how they can stand behind their products.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

48. The one I purchased normally retails for $180. to $210. depending on the retailer.

[TexasBushwhacker]

42. So Costco gives you $100. The new one costs $170

So you get a $170 model for $70 and it will last longer than 2.5 years. It's a win/win, for you and Costco.

But please, at least switch to compostable pods.

https://sfbaycoffee.com/products/bay-bridge-blend-onecup-coffee-pods-80-count

[Floyd R. Turbo]

49. I bought a $180. + for $100.

I used SF Bay French roast for years then they changed the blend due to supply chain issues. 😢

[TexasBushwhacker]

52. Oh bummer on the change

I've never been Keurig fan anyway. I want my coffee to BREW. French press or drip for me.

[maptap22]

38. I did not know that about Costco...makes me like them even more.

I have had the same Keurig since 2012. I keep waiting for it to die but it just keeps going.

They are most likely making them cheaper and cheaper now.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

40. Wow! The longest I ever had one was five years!

[Sane1]

43. 2 Words....

Taster's Choice.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

50. 😬

[Figarosmom]

53. Take it back
