I Dislike My Keurig B40 Coffee Maker

I dislike my Keurig B40 coffee maker and regret the purchase - I don't have much complaint with the performance of the machine itself, but more with the K-cups.
The K-cups are poor, poor, quality. I'm tired of my cup filling up with grounds and K-cups "exploding" (okay, more like a pop than an explosion) and clogging up the machine with grounds. Probably about 10% of the K-cups we've purchased in the past few years have been defective.
We even took to 'candling'them - using a flashlight to see it there were excessive grounds. A hassle, but effective in avoiding a mess - but still a lot of waste. For a while, the Caribou brand cups seemed reliable, but the last severable boxes we've had were all but unusable. And, since they are dark, we can't even use the flashlight method.
We tried the fill-your-own, but if you put in just a bit too much or it is packed a bit too tightly it becomes a problem.
All in all, it has become way too much of a hassle to use the thing and a big waste of money for all the K-cups that are unusable.
