So far the Keurig has been helping when our other hot water boiler is out of water. It heats up water pretty quickly and without much fuss. The only downside we have to it is that we always get these little black specks of something in our water or tea after using it even though we checked and cleaned everything before use. We're so confused as to what it might be but they haven't been too big of an issue so it's fine. Other than that, great so far!
