*This replaced a smaller Keurig that I owned for 6 years **MyBest.Kitchen** I wanted the convenience of the water receptacle and while this unit is much larger than the previous one, I'm very happy with my purchase. The only downside to this larger model is having to move it from under the cabinets to place the pod and refill it. I was able to rectify this by purchasing glide mats for small appliances. Now, it's perfect!*
me: 33 years old and HUMILIATED I didnt know how to use this (had one given to me for free at new years lol, was rotting away on my counter this long) this video was so helpful thank you!
I might be crazy but the reusable "filter" is actually a "basket" and comes with "carafe pod" sized coffee filters that fit in the reusable basket. This slows down the water drip speed and should make for a better cup of coffee with less coffee and much easier clean up. 10 cents each for the filters or more though, so as a price trade off you need good coffee worth trying to save.
My husband came across across a Keurig 2.0 coffee maker where someone got put out of their apartment I’ve had it for six months just sitting in a corner and decided to see if it works and it does have to watch a video on how to use it thought it did not have all the parts to it but it does thank you for your video I appreciate it
We didn’t know about the k carafe pods We thought we could only use the carafe pods that they sell with coffee already in it. We prefer our own choice of coffee and it also saves money. Thanks for this video. I’m going to purchase the k carafe pod that we can fill ourselves. What would I do without RU-vid instructional videos? Still learning at 74. Lol 😂
I ordered the K carafe pod last night after I saw your video. I hope 🤞 it makes all the difference in using the carafe that came with the Keurig 2.0. Thanks for your help and responding.
The issue I'm getting is that when i close it with the pod in, I'm not getting the option for the carafe....there is a sign that says, remove carafe n a pic of the carafe with an X over the pic of the carafe. Also an additional message next to that, that says " this setting is not compatible with the carafe" . The only options I'm getting are, 1) water filter reminder N 2)restore factory settings. Well i try to but it does nothing to change once i press the button. 😵😤 lol
Is your carafe (the pot) in tight under the Keurig, there is a sensor that knows when the carafe is under. On the front of the carafe pot at the bottom is a part that sticks out, when you push the pot under to brew this part goes into the bottom of the Keurig where the sensor is. Let me know how you make out.
@@bradleesargent I guess that's why. I'm having the same issue listed above. I'm thinking the cup too small. Ughh... I was willing to use 2-3 refills to fill up
I’m having this issue too. But I bought a keurig brand 2.0 carafe reusable pod, and it still won’t let me 😭 I hate having to stand there forever and brew cups and cups and cups
I had a 2.0 and got a smaller one...I wemtnto sell it and the buyer kept insisting that there was supposed to be a tray underneath. Does your have a tray? Mine just had a metal piece
I have a Keurig k545 and need to know what equipment is needed to do the carafe thing. Pot? Pod? etc. And do I need to hack it? I currently use a small magnet under the lid next to the pod in order to be able to use non-Keurig pods. thanks
We followed your instructions using the carafe and Dunking Donut coffee medium roast. Selected 4-5 cups. The coffee turned out too weak even though I filled the Kpod all the way up. What do you recommend that I would do to make the coffee stronger?
I have 2 single serve, reusable pods for my cup coffee, but in my area, it is difficult, if not downright impossible, to get your hands on carafe pods or the reusable pods. Guess there are not enough :coffee snobs" to warrant such things. I am not a "coffee snob" (wine, on the other hand....), but I would like to get away from tossing so many used pods into the trash each year. I have already "hacked" my brewer to be able to use the "non-approved" keurig pods, but still, a reusable pod would be cheaper in the long run and possibly less impactful on the environment.
You just need the carafe under the brewer, and the orange carafe cup (refillable one like I used) fits in where the normal k cups go. Let me know if this helps or not
@@PovertyPointCustoms Yes, it does. I can buy new ones or use smaller size reusable pods. Every once in a while it will recognize the large orange Kcup.
I have an eco-carafe pod but the brew is just way too weak. The Keurig is brewing light brown water and I've gone through a 1/2 bag of coffee trying to find a solution; different grinds, different Carafe cup settings, etc etc. Nothing works. The water will start to drip dark brown and within 2-3 seconds becomes lighter and lighter. Major buzz kill.
when i put my Keurig coffee pot in, the menu system has never reflected that the carafe was there. I have tried everything, but never in five years been able to use my carafe.
There's a small part on the bottom of the Carafe that goes into a little slot under the keurig, is yours doing that? That let's the keurig know that the Carafe is under it.
