there was an article in a magazine that reported that the Kerig coffee makers did not produce the best coffee, not hot enough water, etc. I was thinking of trying one but there are no 1/2 caf cups available. Is your problem perhaps related to the water used?
I see amazon carries a Mueller unit that takes pods.
