• A:Answer Thanks for your question. We recommend using bottled or filtered spring water in your Keurig coffee maker. Coffee and tea are over 98% water so quality water is necessary for a good coffee, tea or iced beverage. We do not recommend distilled water in your Keurig coffee maker as it can change the taste profile of your coffee by making it bitter, and may cause brewing results to vary.

Q: QuestionHello! I'm replacing a K40 that has served us well but leaks from the bottom when not in use. If the K50 is essentially the same will that happen eventually? Anyone who has owned over a year have any input? It's not overfilled by the way.

• A:Answer I ‘be had every model - currently have this one and the most updated... haven’t had a leak problem in any of my units... I’ve had to replace for other reasons- grinds mix with brewing. Water tank crack. Scaling would not complete and just plain old. You might have had a crack somewhere in the unit that caused the leak - my opinion you can’t go wrong with this unit- besides being pretty -the reason I purchased- it brews perfectly

Q: Questionis this just the K40 rebranded? it looks exactly the same.

Asked 7 years ago by Heavyoak.

• A:Answer Thanks for your question. There is no difference in features or functionality between the Keurig K50 and K-Classic coffee makers, they are the same exact coffee maker. We recently introduced a comprehensive packaging update for this coffee maker, and we needed to update the model number to ensure a seamless transition into the new inventory. Hope this helps!

Q: Questionwhy doesn't the coffee maker make a full cup of coffeef like it did when I first had it? What can i do to correct this?

Asked 7 years ago by jupie.

• A:Answer Because the coffee maker was sitting for so long, air gets in the intake tube. If you lift up the water tank and see bubbles coming up, keep going up and down with the tank until there are no more bubbles. We looked up the problem on the internet and found this solution. So far, it has worked!
