Pod failure causing grounds in coffee
Not happy at all. I got these originally with my 2 week old Keurig. Those I used and they worked fine. I've been testing different kinds of k-cups, making sure all have the Keurig pic on the box (i.e., not off brands). No issues. Decided we liked the Green Mountain Breakfast Blend the best, so I ordered these and they came yesterday. 8 out of the 12 in the first box I opened have failed. Yes, 8 of them. I followed all the instructions for cleaning the needles after the first failure, including removing and cleaning the pod holder itself. 8 times. Finally, popped in one of the other pods I had on hand (the Donut Shop ones) and that brewed a perfect cup with no grounds. Put in another Green Mountain - same thing with the grounds everywhere.
I see there are some other complaints coming in now as well, so apparently quality control needs to be kicked up a notch.
