Jul 21, 2014 If you need to find the serial number for your Keurig K Cup, Vue or Rivo coffee brewer we can help. And then there’s the update to Keurig’s ‘Platinum’ B70 It’s a tiny change — one that you wouldn’t notice to look at it — but you can’t help but notice in the cup. Keurig has tweaked the brewing system itself — specifically, the brewing needle that pierces the K-Cup.
According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, the brewers can overheat and spray water. 200 reports have already been filed with Keurig, about half of which cite burn-related injuries.
