It's one of those new ones that connects to the Internet. I thought that was just a way for Keurig to get more customers to sign up for auto delivery of coffee K-cups. It can read the label of the pods and automatically ship new boxes when it has counted how many are used.
I think it is beyond just that now. It seems to want to always be online.
When we go away for vacations, I turn off the Internet. Within the week, I begin getting email messages telling me the machine is disconnected. The emails try to help me troubleshoot the situation so I can get it back online.
I think my Supreme Plus is simply addicted to the Internet. Perhaps it's downloading coffee porn. Maybe it's just keeping up on the news; I don't know.
We just came back from a one-month trip on Monday. When I turned on my router everything in the apartment reconnected to the Net.
My coffee maker seemed happy enough. However, this morning, when I tried to brew my cup of Timothy's Breakfast Blend®, the Keurig started warning me that it needed a descaling. Just a coincidence? I think not.
I'm sure my coffee maker is being a little vindictive. I can remember descaling not long ago. I think it was just trying to get a little attention and perhaps punish me for leaving it alone for so long without an Internet connection!
