Sometimes, a broken machine is a sign to upgrade. The latest Keurig models feature multi-stream technology that extracts flavor more evenly. But maybe it’s also a sign to slow down.

Fun fact: The inventor of the Keurig, John Sylvan, later said he regretted the invention because of the environmental waste. He brews his coffee with a traditional drip machine now. Sometimes the creator abandons the creation.

When to Call It a Day

If your machine is more than five years old, those internal seals are tired. They’re like the elastic waistband on your favorite sweatpants—still holding on, but not for much longer. A new Keurig costs between $80 and $200. Compare that to buying a latte every day for a week, and the math works out.

But before you toss it, try one more thing: reset the internal thermostat by unplugging it for five minutes. Sometimes, the safety switch gets triggered by a power surge. This is the coffee equivalent of turning your phone off and on again.

If you still get nothing, perform a funeral with dignity. Place the Keurig on a high shelf as a monument to its service. Or donate it. Someone out there loves fixing things more than they love mornings.
