Keurig

The convenience of a Keurig is what really sold me. Sure the coffee can be expensive, sure they make an unpleasant noise as they brew, sure they create more waste, but damn is it nice to press just a couple of buttons and get a great of coffee (or tea) consistently. I recently bought a box of Donut House Light Roast from Costco...it's good but I think medium roast is more my taste. Any brands/roasts recommendations?

I like bold after a desert or a sweet breakfast (e.g. french toast, pancakes). I prefer light or medium with my breakfast sandwiches, which is when i drink 98% of my coffee.

Green Mountain is good. I have a Green Mountain mug hanging around somewhere. I might update my profile pic with it, you know, to represent.

I got one for Christmas as well, along with about 200 k-cups. Its one of the best things ever created, ever. A cup of coffee in less than two minutes!

we've had our keurig for a couple of years now and we absolutely love it. i stopped drinking caffeine at about the same time, and it makes the most sense for us since my wife and i are now having different drinks. i'm a big fan of the donut shop decaf, as well as tazo zen tea. Celestial seasonings also makes a pretty good iced tea.

We've had a Keurig now for about 2 years.  We(the wife and I) absolutely love it.  Despite people talking about the cost, I'm not sure it I really all that much more expensive than if you were buying fairly pricey coffee by the pound.  My wife likes the strong, super bold, and what I consider too harsh flavors of coffee.  She's definitely not a Folgers girl and as such I would about have a heart attack whenever she'd come home with a pound of some exotic coffee beans that I wouldn't end up drinking and then half a pot would go to waste.  The Keurig gives us the flexibility to each have what we enjoy.  Not to mention I use a rather larger coffee mug so I can take a bold K-cup and run it through once on the large setting and then immediately run it again on the small setting so that combined I get a delicious big mug of my fav brew.

We did get one of the reusable filters, but frankly they are just so much more hassle than they are worth, both to grind the coffee, pack the thing to the rim, and then the cleanup after that.  Plus I've found that more often than not some grounds escape into my mug and frankly that just wig's me out.  Nothing is worse than sipping coffee and having grounds floating around your mouth.  Well ok, actually having a scrambled egg and biting into a bit of shell is also pretty disgusting....   Anyway, I don't think I could recommend a reusable filter. 

Oh, one more thing about the Keurig - they are great for kids.  The K-cups come in hot cider, tea - hot and iced, and especially hot chocolate.  It is so nice not having to worry about them burning themselves on the stove with a kettle just to heat hot water for hot chocolate in the winter.  With the Keurig, they just turn it on, it heats up, they drop in a K-cup and viola instant Swiss Miss deliciousness!

Yes, it is amazing. What a great way to get fast, good coffee. Thank you coffee gods for this.

I got it as a gift from my aunt and love it. The variety is great. You can buy a variety pack and then just pick and choose based on whether you need a pick me up or if you just want to sip. I've found as long as I am able to combine coupons with store sales, I can get it down to 50 cents a cup.

I like the Dark Magic kind from Green Mountain


The Swiss Miss hot choc comes in hand for my 13 yr old, too, and tea for the wife. we dont have to make a whole bunch, but can each have our own drink all at the same time.
