What the heck? Who are you people with the keurigs lasting 6-10 years? I'm lucky if it lasts me two months. Luckily I bought it from Costco and they easily replaced it (twice now, I feel wrong about this but it should last longer than that!).
ugh.

If you don't like the coffee your machine makes, then replace it. But, first, make sure you are actually buying good coffee and grinding it properly. A new machine won't help if you have bad beans or a bad grind.
There are people who will tell you you need a french press and burr grinder to even approach a good cup of coffee. I am not one of them. But, I do buy good whole beans (Peet's, from Costco) and grind them with a decent blade grinder (Keurig, I think) to the recommended consistency for the cone filter in my drip coffeemaker (Cuisinart).

Moka pot made in Italy, have replaced every 5 years because the plastic(?) handle eventually crumbles off from the heat of the stove

I had my drip coffee maker (grind and brew) for ten years until I replaced it. Clean it monthly with vinegar, no problems.

My Keurig is at least 10 years old. Will buy another one when it dies. My parents keep drip coffee makers at least that long.

If you don't clean it properly then its not going to work and the coffee is going to taste bad.

I only replace when it breaks. Regular cleanings seem to be sufficient.
Are you sure it's the coffee maker and not the coffee?

Funny you asked this. DH and I are in a disagreement over our eight year old Nespresso. One spouse wants to replace, the other says it's fine.

Did you mean 3 years old? If actually 3 hours then take it back to the store!
I would honestly ditch it and get a chemex or a French press which you can keep clean.

Maybe that is slightly different that a basket drip brew?

A basic 12-cup drip coffee maker, $30-$40. Mine is maybe 3 hours old, but no matter how I descale it or scrub it down, it still brews weird, like stale coffee.
