Our three year old Keurig suddenly started to run very slowly and produce only a partial cup of coffee. I tried all of the recommended fixes, even taking the upper check valve out and soaking it in vinegar. Cleaned all the needles and outlets with no success. We bit the bullet and bought a new Keurig and… it ran exactly the same way. I then remembered one person commenting online that there was a problem with her K-cup. I purchased a 12 pack of Green Mountain K-cups, reasoning that since Green Mountain is the parent of Keurig they should know how to make good K-cups. It worked!!! Flow was fast and the quantity of coffee was as expected.
The problem started at the same time we purchased an order of Donut House K-cups online. Same brand that we have used for a couple of years. I believe the paper filter in their K-cups is now more restrictive as there is a large amount of liquid left in the used K-cup. So now we use the same K-cup for two passes on the Keurig. Usually two identical medium size settings work best. Still have to use up over 200 of the faulty Donut House K-cups and when gone no more.
== Problem may be with the K-cup''

Dump the Kuerig and buy a different coffee maker.. Ive had 3 Kuerigs and they all quit. Waste of money...Im done with Kuerig.

IMO most owners just use their Keurig everyday until it quits working properly. Keurigs need maintenance more than other coffee makers. You need to clean the head with a paper clip occasionally, run a brew without a k-cup (will help keep coffee grounds out of your cup) and clean Keurig with vinegar every 2 months. My first Keurig was a B70 that I purchased at Goodwill for $5.99. I now have a Keurig K575 with Carafe, I can use any k-cup and have all menu options using a special clip purchased at Amazon.
I purchase Keurigs at Goodwill and get them working properly and have given 6 Keurigs to family members and 2 to friends. I love Keurigs!!!!

What special clip
par donna wilborne
@donna wilborne - Full Menu Clip, Metal Freedom Clip by Geesta on Amazon $10.99. You receive 2 metal clips 2 orange tabs plus extra orange stickers, You just snap (1) clip on and install (1) orange tab. The cost will be recouped quickly because you can use any k cup or use a refillable. You will no longer get the "Oops Message".

@Dan Taylor - I was not aware of those clips. I use the My K-Cup, which also unlocks the full menu, but, I use my own coffee. I'll look into the clip, though. Thanks!
