Re: Keurig coffee maker.....?
 

I ended up buying a Keurig using a coupon from Bed bath and beyond and love it.
I buy the coffee from costco and usually only have 1 or 2 cups a day so it works out perfectly for me. I also like the green tea. :)

Re: Keurig coffee maker.....?
 

Probably repeating most of what I've said before...

I usually have one cup a day in the mornings, so the Keurig is ideal for me - my wife doesn't drink coffee at all, but she will have the very occasional hot chocolate.

I, too like strong coffee and I've found the best for my taste to be the Emeril's Big Easy Bold. I got some travel mug sized Timothy's French Roast on clearance, which I'm coming to the end of and it's not replaceable :(

I have a box of REVV on its way thanks to an Amazon warehouse deal and I should get it today, so that will be tried in the morning. It's supposed to be pretty good.

GM Dark Magic is not bad.

Best places to buy are Kohl's when they have a 20% off coupon (around $9 for an 18 count), BB&B (also when they have a local coupon) and occasionally, Amazon has some good prices.

One word of warning. DO NOT buy Grove Square products. The coffee is actually instant and their other products contain so much sucralose it's not even funny!

Re: Keurig coffee maker.....?
 

I personally wouldn't buy one...

1)The coffee cups are expensive, that said, each the thier own it is still a hell of a lot cheaper than buyiyng Starbucks everyday.

2) I work for a company that sells them and there are ALOT of returns on them.

I enjoy the fuller bolder flavours as well. Green Mountain have some really nice ones.

Double Black Diamond is a really nice one (just had my second one of the day) there is another Green Mountain one I enjoy as well, just cannot remember the name of it and ran out yesterday.... If you go on the Keurig site you can actually shop by roast and brand.

Thanks to all who replied - appreciated
Now off to sample some of my samples till i can get to BB and Beyond to get some strong ones!!!!

and going to try filtered water!! thanks~!!!

Re: Keurig coffee maker.....?
 

Had my first cup of REVV this morning! WOW!!!

Strong, and has a kick to it. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Definitely getting more of this.

Re: Keurig coffee maker.....?
 

... just how soon did you post after having your cuppa?!?!...

My kick at the mo is Vietnamese coffee... mind you, its probably to do with the condensed milk than anything else.

I've often thought of getting a Keurig for open houses (just like the commercial :lol:) but think its more hassle to lug the crap around than its worth, but at-least I'd be able to write it all off!!

Re: Keurig coffee maker.....?
 

It was almost three hours later - I had it at around 7am and posted close to 10am.


Why do you ask?

Re: Keurig coffee maker.....?
 

We have a Keurig and it works well for us. I also got a My K-Cup so that we can use any variety of ground coffee - it also helps keep the cost down. I have seen some reviews of the My K-cup where folks are saying that grounds leak from them etc. but we have never had that problem and use it daily.

Re: Keurig coffee maker.....?
 

Our local library just got one and now charges $1 per cup of coffee or tea :D

Re: Keurig coffee maker.....?
 

Can one recycle the single cup serving - otherwise its seems to be quite a waste.....

Re: Keurig coffee maker.....?
 

I have the K-cup too - makes the whole thing very worth while. No way I'm paying $10 for 10 cups of coffee - that's just silly. It doesn't leak grounds in my cup either. I didn't know if I was going to be happy with it after my mate told me it doesn't make a hot enough cup but I'm pleasantly surprised by it.

Re: Keurig coffee maker.....?
 

No - it is the combination of both the sugar and the caffeine in it :scaredhair:

Re: Keurig coffee maker.....?
 

I don't personally own a Keurig, but work at Sur La Table where we sell Keurig coffee machines along side other brands. To be honest, it's more down to the make and model of the machine it seems than the coffee itself when it comes to customer satisfaction.

They lost their patent on the machine and will be or have already lost their patent on the K-cup opening up the market for other companies to move in and make these products using the Keurig brand coffee as it's show piece.

However, not all machines are alike, I believe Starbucks has been making Keurig machines which are being returned to them on a regular basis due to leaking seam problems. Then there are companies like Breville who are making exceptional machines and are coming up with high ratings in the consumer reports.

We honestly very rarely sell Keurig machines, for the most part people tend to lean towards the Nespresso products, they are clean, energy efficient, well made and the individual capsules cost 57c each.

watch out for the hot apple cider kcups. they are themselves not bad (not great either) BUT they make the next cup of coffee through the machine taste like total cack.
