A:AnswerAs long as the Keurig is not a 2.0 or greater model, it will accept plastic refillable cup. Anything after 2.0 model will require a specific refillable cup due to te scanner inside the machine itself.
A:AnswerNo it does not. When it is first turned on each day it does a descaling process then brews a perfect cup of coffee it specifies to clean every six months. Otherwise there is very little maintainence.
