Title: Basic but good machine. UPDATED
Review: My wife and I had been looking for a multi-purpose machine, one which makes both a carafe and a pod of coffee. I had seen this and after some investigation, we bought it.Observations:This is a basic machine which does not have a lot of features.I've read a number of reviews complaining the carafe spout design allows a few drops of beverage to spot the countertop. All one has to do is slow down when pouring. The wide spout is conducive to pouring quickly. Me, myself, I pour my coffee over the sink so any drips or drops go in it. Alternatively, a dish towel could be placed on the counter and poured over it.Keurig uses a 5 ounce cup measure for the carafe side. The carafe is 12 cups. 12x5=60, which is the exact reservoir size.READ the directions! This machine is easy to use and does exactly what it says it will do. To expect it to do X when it isn't designed to do, it is unreasonable to expect that performance. If you need a different set of features, find the brewer which has them. Don't buy it and then gripe it doesn't do something it was never designed or equipped to do.Pros:The machine does exactly what it says it will do, day in and day out.It has a 2 hour auto shut-off for the carafe side and a 2-3 minute shut off on the pod size.Easy and intuitive to use.It is simple to maintain. I descale it as needed with the Keurig solution. I descale about every 3 months. Depending on your water, you may have to descale more often, or less depending on your use.You can brew a carafe and use the pod side while the warming plate of the carafe is on. Haven't tried to brew both sides at once.It can be programmed to auto-brew at any given time, however, you must set the auto-brew function each brew cycle. This prevents the machine from automatically brewing a pre-programmed setting when the reservoir is nearly empty or empty. This is simply a safety measure.Cons:The directions which came with my machine says none of the parts are dishwasher safe. I would think for the money, a simple change of plastics composition would be in order without raising the price.The carafe glass stains easily, though it is easy to clean. The glass feels flimsy but I haven't dropped it.It doesn't come with the gold mesh filter, though it can be ordered or purchased at the grocery store.UPDATE:I've regularly descaled the machine with vinegar. Today however, I could not get the descale cycle completed, that is, without some frustration. I'd run out of vinegar and had (fortunately) 2 bottles of the Keurig descaler solution. I used the first bottle and was shocked at the amount of scale it removed. After completing the Duo instructions for descaling, I encountered 2 problems. First, the descale warning light would not go away. The second and most frustrating, is that in the carafe rinse, I would not get the full amount of required water to dispense. Instead of 12 cups, it gave me 8. I thought it was my mistake and I refilled the reservoir and tried it again, making sure I selected the 12 cup carafe amount. This time I got 2 and in the last attempt I got perhaps a few ounces. The pump made a whining, thudding noise.Spending a few minutes on Google told me the issue with no water was either the pump was out or debris in the line. I ran the second bottle of Keurig descale solution and let it sit for about 30 minutes. I then repeated the rinse instructions and this time I got the full amount of dispensed water.The descale lights did not turn off as expected. I learned there is a manual reset sequence which solves it. With the power "ON" press and hold the 8 cup and 10 cup selection buttons for about 5 seconds. Mine turned off immediately.

Title: GREAT customer service from Keurig
Review: We were initially pleased with our Duo. It is nice to have the option of making a pot of coffee when we are both home and drinking a couple of cups and still be able to just make a cup when that is all we need. Unfortunately 5 months in, it stopped making the amounts we chose and did whatever it wanted to do. If we chose an 8 oz cup we might get 12 oz or 6 oz--rarely did it give us what we asked for. My coffee mug only holds 10 oz so there were frequent overflows. Since there is no option for adjusting the temperature of the coffee that means waiting for it to cool enough to be sipped before picking it up. The coffeepot was the same. Choose 12 cups and you might get 16 cups (which does not fit in the pot) or you might get 8 cups. I tried descaling. I watched all the videos to make sure I was doing it right. I did multiple descaling efforts back to back. I cleaned the needle multiple times. I did all the rinse cycles recommend. It took all day... It got a bit better but didn't last long. I kept trying thinking I had to be doing something wrong. Keurigs are very popular. (It was my first) I must be doing something wrong. I kept trying to clean it as they said I must. It kept malfunctioning. Finally, after two months, I went though the whole cleaning routine again and in the last rinse after cleaning the needle, it produced the amount of coffeee I asked for... FINALLY! I made myself my second cup of coffee to celebrate and it overflowed....again.... This time I called Keurig. " I'm under warranty and I want a new machine." The customer service agent did have to politely go through a sequence of questions and have me do a test while on the line. Quickly, however, he agreed this machine is not working as it should and told me he was sending an email for me to respond to with a copy of my receipt (luckily available in my account on Amazon) and the serial number for my machine. When they have received that, they can approve me for a replacement. I was told I will get a new machine and the website says the warranty will be reset if I register it when I receive it. That is better than most companies do. They might replace it but they don't usually reset the warranty. I am very happy about that because I do think this particular model is a little bit of a risk of malfunctions. I considered it before choosing it but it had the features we wanted. I am happy to report the risk is worth it because Keurig stood by it's product and helped when I ran into problems.
