I've had our new Keurig for a while now so time to review! We bought this to replace one we bought about 6 years ago. First off the ease of use. When we bought the 2.0 version I found the touch screen a bit annoying, maybe I'm just old and used to my first few keurigs that had buttons. Long way of saying that the buttons are easy to use, only thing that we have to get used to is pressing the strong button before the size button. I picked this version for the size options as my husband likes a large cup of coffee, this Keurig gives more than 14 oz! Not sure if that's a flaw but my husband loves being able to fill his big cups in one go. I like too that this version doesn't block you from using other non Keurig approved pods and refillable cups. Overall it works really well and the strong setting provides a good strong brew but not on the larger cup sizes, not really the machine's fault as there's only so much you can squeeze out of the coffee beans. When our 2.0 (which lives at our lake house now) dies I would not hesitate to buy another one of these! About the colour: I ordered a vintage red and it is a dark red that is not bright or orangey, it is a really good looking red (and this is the first time I've bought a coloured appliance).
