Who has a Keurig coffee pot?

[MrsSledn]

I just bought one for Sledn for Christmas. So far he LOVES it!

I was looking around at different web sites that sell the K Cups. Is there a specific site any of you like?

Also do any of you have the K cup reusable filters or the my caps? Prefer one over the other?

[Anthem]

You can check out: www.greenmountaincoffee.com

I have used the K Cup Reusable filter with coffee that I've bought from Costco and it works great.

I just got my Keurig earlier this month, so I'm still sampling a lot of varieties. One of the varieties that I like is the Green Mountain Nantucket Blend - this is considered a Medium Roast variety.

[Tombstone]

I really like the Keurig Coffee Machines. I have been wanting one for a while now. Great gift for your husband.

[Sailchaser]

We have one and I love it
If you have Bed Bath and beyond store in your aera they have the cheapist coffee around us especially if you use the 20-40% off coupons available in the sunday paper or print them off line

[68TriShield]

We just got one too from the SIL.
It's a pretty neat product. Shop around for the pods,the prices vary widely and the big box stores are not always cheapest.

[Savvy]

I got one for Christmas from my parents. I like it a lot. It's very convenient, easy to clean up after, I start it up when I get up and have my coffee ready for the morning when I head into work. Great product so far. The K-cups are only a little annoying, paying a little more for the convenience of it all is fine with me. I've bought my K-cups from BB&B so far, but I'll keep looking for other places as well.

[Mr.Goodfella]

My wife got me one for my birthday and I love it. I use this site:
http://www.greatcoffee.com/
They have just about everything if not everything.

[ashtonlady]

And if you get reusable filters then you can put Fresh roast coffee in it.

[MrsSledn]

I didn't realize Bed, Bath, and Beyond sold them.

I did check out Greatcoffee.com. I received a coupon for buy 4 and get free shipping.

I will have to check out greenmountaincoffee.com.

Thanks everyone.

[huero71]

My wife bought me one for Christmas, I love it. If you go the the Keurig website and register it online, you get a pretty good deal on the k-cups. Buy 4 boxes, get 2 of the 4 free, 10% off the other two, and free shipping. I registered and ordered Monday, got 4 boxes (96 k-cups) today. $25.11 total. :banger

Hubby did the same exact thing. I wonder how long it is going to take to receive them. I can't wait to have some tea! LOL I can't drink coffee so I want the tea kcups he ordered.

[huero71]

Mine shipped 2 days after I ordered them. I got them the next day. But I'm only 3 hours or so north of where they shipped out of. Hope you get yours soon. :tu

[GreekGodX]

I got one for Christmas and love it :tu

So far my favorites are the caribou blend, newmans organic extra bold, and theres a green mountain coffee that I like that I can't think of.

Amazon has them onsale right now amazon link (http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_13934162_1?tag=slickdeals&ie=UTF8&docId=1000471021&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=top-3&pf_rd_r=10THNVR29D2YACHEGGTJ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=41065722&pf_rd_i=52129011)
You get 50 cups for around 20 bucks. Great deal. My favs from here are the jet fuel and wake up call. Add coupon KCUP93O6 for 10% off. If you subscribe to their shipping program you get another 15% off.

I LOVE mine!! The Bunn and the Cuisinart grinder are in a closet.

BBB is the best place I have found, especially with the 20% coupon and the $5 off $15. If you get 3 boxes you can use both the same visit too.

Lots online too.

Walmart carries 3-4 kinds too, which isn't much but it makes me think that it won't be long and they will have a large selection also.

Costco also carries a large box of Tully French Roast which is awesome, may be different by location but it is the cheapest you can get them if you factor it per K cup.

[68TriShield]

The Celestial Seasonings Green Tea is very good.Much better taste than the Earl Gray imo.

[icantbejon]

I'll join the rest of the crew. I got mine this Christmas as well, from my parents. I love it. They are great or a pre-work travel mug so you don't have to make a whole pot. I've liked quite a few of the different blends so far, and the GM hot chocolate is pretty darn tasty.

Thanks for the heads up on registering the maker for the coffee discount, just did that.

[Salvelinus]

The keurig/greenmountain coffee club seems to be the best deal going that I have found. Buy enough and they send you free stuff too.

I switched to the filters though, didn't like throwing all the little cups out. Filters tend to get gummed up if you grind the coffee too fine.

[MichaelJ]

We've had our Keurig for a couple of years and still love it.

We get our coffee here....good variety, fast shipping.

Question/thread jack. The link above has a spot about descaling the pot every 6 months. Is this needed if you are already using filtered water? Is cheap and I will probably do it anyway, just curious.

Question/thread jack. The link above has a spot about descaling the pot every 6 months. Is this needed if you are already using filtered water? Is cheap and I will probably do it anyway, just curious.

I like Urnex Cleancaf for cleaning both the espresso machine and the drip. It is very low impact so I will use it often. If your water is very hard then a stronger descaler may be needed like Urnex Dezcal Activated Descaler.
http://www.sweetmarias.com/prod.coffeecleaner.php

A britta filter will alter hardness slightly for the 1st 3 weeks but not after that. This is much more important in an espresso machine then a drip machine but excessive build up is going to keep your elements from heating proper and impart taste. Purr filter have no effect on hardness. Zero water (http://www.amazon.com/ZeroWater-ZD-013-Filtration-Electronic-Included/dp/B001CUMLOK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1262623179&sr=8-1) claims to reduce harness 0.

Spent some wedding gift cards today:

I was planning on getting the Mini actually, then I decided on the B50 but Macy's One Day sale + extra 10% off from our registry means I scored this guy for $129.99. :D

[AD720]

Anyone interested in doing a K-Cup swap? I got a couple boxes, maybe someone wants to try a couple of these?

I have:

Newmans Own Organics Special Bl Extra Bold Coffee
Hazelnut Coffee by Gloria Jeans
Colombian Decaf Coffee by Timothys

[Old Sailor]

I gotta get me one of these machines!

[DonWeb]

I bought one for the wife at Christmas.

It was a great choice - though I will admit to drinking more coffee now.

I like the varieties that are available for throuhout the day.

Caribou Daybreak
Green Mountain Nantucket Blends
Green Mountain Extra Bold Sumatran

Even like the Green Mountain Hot Cocoa.

Had to experiment with the right size dispense to get the desired flavor.

[CEC_Tech]

bought one for my wife for christmas also. I called it her machine, but i use the crap out of it. Hard to beat a cup of coffee in 30 seconds.

[n3uka]

Got a b40 last week. Chai Latte is quite nice.
Still working my way through the sampler to pick my faves on coffee.

[Ranger_B]

Girlfriend picked me up one for Chirstmas. Love this thing during the week. Our favorite so far is the rain forest nut. Keurig is where we have been getting most of ours. I have not perfected the reuseable filter yet.

That's the same machine we have as well...and I also have the same micorwave...just on the other side of the Keurig. :D

I absolutely LOVE this machine. I've had for about 2 years or so and couldn't be happier. It's great for us because I leave the house at about 7 every morning and my fiance doesn't work the same hours everyday, so making an entire pot of coffee is out of the question.

Figured I would share a couple of sites I've found some really good deals on and...don't forget to look for those online coupons either:

I just bought one Friday. Seeing it in use at Dave's last herf made it a must have. I am in love with this thing. Now to find some different blends I enjoy. I did register, and I'm waiting for the boxes of samplers to arrive.

The Target I purchased it from had 18ct boxes of K-cups for 9.95. You may want to look into that.

I buy the teas, so I am not to sure if there is a difference in price. But a lot of the teas I buy are 24 cups for $9.99. http://www.coffee.org/

When you look around, some sites will give you free shipping if you order over a certain amount. I took part in a Keurig contest and won 4 free boxes. :dr When you register with Keurig, you get a couple free boxes with a purchase I believe of 2 boxes.

I did register. Their boxes are $13 or so with a 10% discount for the 24-25 ct boxes. So I guess 18 ct would be around $9-10. Thank you for assisting a rookie with his new-found love.

Mine(platinum) was running a little off lately it would turn off after brewing 1 cup. It seems this is a known issue. I called Keurig and they are sending out a new unit no questions asked. If you are having problems call them. They offer great customer service they didn't even want the old one back. Oh and for my troubles they are sending 2 boxes of the coffee of my choice.

I went to BB&B to buy one for my folks and noticed they were all pulled from the shelves. The manager said it was due to an issue with the pump.

I'm glad to see the customer service was there...that's hard to find now a days.

Did the machine totally shut off, or just stop brewing? The reason I'm asking is because a while ago our machine started brewing a cup and stoped about half way. When we put the next cup in, it brewed that cup and what ever was left of the first cup that didn't finish...weird.

Yes! Ours is more of a motor like problem. Yesterday, I did clean it out with vineagar/water. Ran fine when I did that part. Later went to make a cup of tea and the problem resurfaced. Took longer to brew. Then it brewed half of what it was supposed to. Hit the button after it was ready again. Brewed fine that time. It's getting quite annoying to say the least. Darn machine is not even 4 months old.

Glad to know we are not the only ones experiencing a problem with it.

[Gonesledn]

just got off the phone with customer service. they are sendingout a replacement, no charge. they dont want the old machine back, just want me to send the little black holder part back to the manufacter to effectively disable the machine. i have a myK attachment, so i dont need it anyway. looks like the old one will go out into my garage"mancave smoking room"

they refered to the problems as "short brew" and "delayed brew"

great customer service, i will say that.

Well, I guess the one good thing is it seems this problem has happened enought that Keurig is prepared to replace the machines and stand by their product. However, I can totally see why you would be mad with your machine only being 4 months old.

Mine totally shut off after brewing 1 cup. quick flick of the on/off switch fixed it but you had to wait fir it to then heat the water.

Everyone so far (including my folks, whom I gifted one last month) that have had their's fail have gotten a new one from Keurig, no questions asked, no "ship it to us and we'll look at it before replacing", no hassle and a couple free boxes of coffee for their trouble. That is all the MORE reason to buy from this company. :2 I have two and I have no doubt that if there is an issue with one or both Keurig will take care of it.

Another source for k cups that I can recomment from personal experience is coffeecart.com. Free shipping at $45 worth of sales and after you buy from them they will periodically email you a code for buy a certain amount and get a box free.

Definitley a great perk. It's perfect for us becuase we're never on the same schedule so it's rare that I'm going to brew a pot or even prepare a press for just me so we can brew two different cups of coffee at two different times...it's great. :tu

Green Mountain Coffee is my favorite, the Dark Magic specifically.

I go directly to the Kurig Website, as you can build up points for free coffee of even the top shelf brewer.

The cheapest way to buy bulk, once you find your coffee, is the 80ct boxes. My wife and I buy the Paul Newman special blend for about 40 bucks. If you like darker full bodied coffee, look for the "Extra Bold" label.:2

[KenyanSandBoa]

Well my Platinum started acting up over the last couple days. :(

Brewing half-cups and then shutting off when it starts to pump (maybe 3/5 times). I called Keurig and they are sending me a whole new unit and a couple boxes for my trouble. The bummer is due to low stock of the Platinum it is going to take 2 weeks to get it.

I'll keep limping along and if it gets bad enough I'll have to bring home my Mini from work. :)

Overall still very impressed with this company, their products and customer service.

The Ice Tea cups are great if you brew them right. I don't use the Ice Bev Button. Instead I fill a 20oz cup with with ice and brew on the second largest size. I also add 1 Splenda and fresh lemon juice. Makes for a great cup of Ice Tea.

Hope they resolve the issue for you!

My S-I-L has a Keurig. She got it about a year ago. Both her and her husband love it for a quick cup in the morning before work.

[Volcodom]

[Jack1000]

Got one of the office. I really like it. Tully's evergreen blend is a good k-cup.

[Martel]

Saw this thread and had to jump in... this machine is the greatest device ever devised by the mind of man!:banger I have one at home and one at the office. It's a real blessing to have a cup first thing in the morning, right away. I still grind and use a french press occasionally, but it's mostly a weekend thing. The drip machine has gone away though. Green Mountain Sumatra Reserve and Van Houtte Kenya are regulars for me.

Cheers,

Replacement number 2 on the way. :sh

Bummer that they keep crapping out but they do stand behind their products which is refreshing.

That's good to hear. I"m thinking of heading out to pick one up tonight. I want to cut down on my pop intake and do enjoy a cup of coffee every now and then. The Keurig's seem like the perfect thing for me.

They are good with the customer service, which is nice.

All the issues I've had have been with my Platinum brewer.

My single cup B30 has been great, no issues there.

[Chainsaw13]

I bought the B40 last night, along with a couple 12 packs to get started on seeing what blends I like. Of course i had to break it in last night, so I was wired come 11:30pm when I should've been in bed.

Been having an issue for a couple weeks with my B40. Finally called today and got a tremendous run around. Had to talk to 2 different people. Was told do this, do that, do this again. Then try this and try that. Finally told them screw it how about I just throw the dam thing out.

Might call one more time, might just go back to my french press and be done with it. :mad:

Ask to be elevated to the next level of support. Tell them that you have tried descaling and all the other trouble shooting procedures. After that tell them that you are almost out of K-cups and if they won't send you a replacement you are going to just go with a different manufacturer.

[alley00p]

I used a Senseo Pod coffee maker for quite a while, but it became hard to find pods besides the ones from Senseo locally (which made weak brew).

I finally broke down and bought a Keurig B-60. That I use quite a bit. :tu

I just got the B40 on Monday. I also got the my K cup. So far the my k cup has been making some great coffee. I wonder if there is enough of us to do a k-cup pass??

Amazon has 50-count packs from Coffee People for $22. These come with minimal packaging. They are loose inside the cardboard box. The blends offered in this format are Kona, Donut Shop, Jet Fuel, Organic, Black Tiger and Wake Up Call. I have personally tried the Kona, Donut Shop and Jet Fuel. The Kona and Donut Shop make a decent cup of coffee. Which is what you normally get from these machines. Can't ask for much more than just a decent cup of coffee from them. The Jet Fuel is the least palatable of the three I have tried.

I have had all of them and there is not a Coffee People blend I haven't liked. The Jet Fuel, Black Tiger and Kona are staples for me.

My staple is the Tully's Kona blend. Also the Green Mountain Sumatran Reserve and Dark Magic are really good too. I got the 24 count boxes from Kuerig when I registered my B40. It was the buy 2, get 2 free so with shipping was less than $30.

I'd be up for a k-cup pass if someone wants to put it together.

Having mine now for nearly 2 years, I can start to notice that it's brewing a little longer. I was just thinking I may need to descale mine.

[lbowles2]

I had one of the Keurigs that have a reservior and had troubles with the pump as I've seen others have. I got it warrantied then sold it on fleabay and proceeded to buy one of the mine Keurigs. I use it at the office and it works great. I think my favorite k-cup is Caribou Coffee Daybreak ;)

I have been considering buying one of the Keurig units. I like the option of brewing up to a 12 oz cup for my travel mug. Since many of the units have various cup-size options, what changes, if any, occur in brewing the coffee?
Is the same amount of coffee used regardless of the desired cup size? Will the 12 oz cup be weak compared to a 6 oz cup?

Same pod regardless of size brewed.I'll sometimes use two pods to brew a big cup because I like stronger coffee.
I wouldn't say the larger cups taste noticeably weaker though.
Some of the holiday blends have been pretty tasty.

What Dave said, regardless of cup size selected the machine uses one K-Cup.

I prefer strong coffee (read not-watery) and I brew on the 8 ounce size mostly.

With the K-Cups I use I can also brew on the 12 ounce size and it is NOT watery at all, still very good. (Jet-Fuel, Black Tiger, Sumatra, etc)

But with some K-cups, like Breakfast Blend or ones like that, the 12 ounce is too weak for me. If I am brewing for my large travel mug (20 oz) I will brew twice, both times on 8 ounce.

It's really about selecting the right brew for the cup size.

[jonumberone]

I just ordered some REVV K cups.
The claim is that each cup contains more coffee for a stronger brew.
I haven't tried one yet so it may just be a marketing ploy.

[MarkinAZ]

Wow! I have a Melita One Cup. You place a #2 brown filter in it and then place it atop a 10oz coffee mug. Then I place 3 well rounded tablespoons of Trader Joe's House Blend (Sumatra & Columbian) in my coffee grinder, and grind it on the fine cycle (about 17 seconds). I place this fine grind in the coffee filter and pour boiling water that has rested for approximately 30 seconds over the top, and drink it black.

This produces a heftly cup of joe at a very inexpensive cost...:tu

There are a number of different reusable filter type products, which one are you referring to?

[76GTFan]

I like to order from the Keurig site, because you build up points to get the B70s at discount.

As far as coffee, I like strong. Extra Bold or dark roast.

My favorites are Green Mountain Double Black Diamond, Dark Magic, Espresso

I also like the Paul Newman Organic XBold.

That's the one I have been using as well. It works really well.

Pros:

Use your own coffee
If your regular K-cup holder breaks can be used to still make coffee

Cons:

It can overflow. (I have a fix for this that worked perfectly)
It makes one cup, then you have to clean it. Not really a con but becomes a hassle.

I just use regular drip grind. Not espresso but not coarse either. The trick is not filling the basket all the way to the top and making sure the black o-ring that is on the unit itself fits snugly against the top.

If your pump is failing there is not amount of descaling that will help. The only time that helps is when the nozzle is clogged (at least in my experience). Just jump through the hoops so they will send you a replacement. :2

Same way they replaced it the first time, I called up and explained it wasn't working (short-filling, not brewing full cups, pump failing), I jumped through the hoops (descale, clean nozzle, etc) and they sent me a new one. No problem at all, just had to talk to customer service a few times.

No worries. I just wondered how they would replace it more than once. I have called 5 times to get a new k-cup holder and they keep giving me the run around. I finally got told that I need to destroy the unit I have (even though it was a gift) because the unit had already been traded in. Which makes me think that if someone got their unit replaced 2,3, etc times, they would have spare models laying around.

They made me send back the K-Cup holder part, which is likely why they are giving you a hard time about replacing the part. See below...

Exactly, most of them are missing the K-Cup holder part so chances are they were replaced. I kept the reservoir from both of ours but just chucked the rest. That little part they make you send back sell on ebay for like $30 bucks. I guess there would be a big market for getting a replacement and buying the K-cup holder so you could re-sell the "replaced" unit.

I haven't personally used it, but I have watched a few video reviews. It seems like it's more of a pain than the my K-cup. As you have to remove the foil then clean out the small cup first. There also seems to be a good amount of carry over on flavor as the paper filter that was used previously is saturated with the previous flavor/blend.

How does it work better than the My k-cup? It's essentially the same thing, right? IMO, the down side to the My k-cup is washing that screen out. Is the plastic filter easier to clean? I would think that it would be, but then it's a trade off as it would onto stains/flavors more.

The regular K-cups imo are awesome. I have had a few bad coffee's but that's not the fault of the K-Cup, it's more a fault of the blend/roast.

It gets better extraction than the my k-cup. It seems with the my k-cup the water just drills a hole down through the grounds and the majority of the extraction process just comes out as hot water. Not so with the solofill.
IMO, the down side to the My k-cup is washing that screen out.
In my opinion, the downside to the my k-cup is a weak ass cup of coffee. Basically that is the downside to the keurig in general. In order to get a decent cup, you have to use 2 k-cups on the lowest water setting. Seems like a waste to me.

Is the plastic filter easier to clean? I would think that it would be, but then it's a trade off as it would onto stains/flavors more.

It is not easier to clean, but I dont think that it is in any way hard to clean.

I have tried probably 100 different blends of k-cups and have only ever had a decent cup of coffee. Nothing I would ever brag about or come close to saying it was awesome. With the solofill, it is still not an awesome cup of coffee, but it is a lot closer than I thought this machine could come.

I fill it to the line inside, not all the way to the top, with a grind slightly finer than regular drip. If you get slow extraction, then it is either too fine or packed too tight. Takes a bit of practice.

This guy says he gets a good cup with preground. I dont fill it as full as he does because I find that I get a really slow extraction with the grind I use if I fill it all the way to the top.

There are a couple simple fixes for that. One is to buy an O-ring that fits into the indention on the top of the My K-cup. The other one, is to simply take the Oring that is on the needle that punctures the top and slide it down some. make sure not to slide it off. Then put in the My K-Cup, close the top of the unit and it will push it back up into the proper place.

Then put in the My K-Cup, close the top of the unit and it will push it back up into the proper place.

Thanks! I will try that this weekend.

Has any company made a delicious and pocket friendly hot chocolate for them yet?
I believe so. Check their website. I think I recall seeing it @ Christmas time

Also if anyone here likes any of the Gloria Jean's non-flavored coffees such as Black Gold, Green Mountain will be announcing on April 1 that non-flavored Gloria Jean's coffees will not be available in K-Cups anymore.

Gloria Jeans seems to be discontinuing alot of the KCup products then. They discontinued some herbal teas last year. I was lucky to find them on Amazon at one point. Now I can't find it anywhere. It's a shame.

I tried it this weekend and it works fine now. Now if I use a regular K-cup with the O-ring being pulled down a bit, will it puncture the foil at all or should I push it up when I use one of those?

Thanks for your help :tu

By using it with the 'My K-cup' it basically just aligned the o-ring to the proper height. It will now work fine for regular k-cups and may actually improve the extraction of them. You won't need to re-adjust anything.

Finally ordered two of the Solofill reuseable k-cups. Decided to give them a try this past weekend and brew up some coffee for iced coffee. Bought a bag of Starbuck's Italian Roast and followed the instructions for filling the cup. Couldn't have been easier to use. And WOW! What great tasting coffee. Seems to have way more body than what you get out of a regular k-cup. Cleanup is a breeze too.

I too use the Kuerig with the reusable screen.
I find the more course the coffee is ground the better it works.
The really fine coffee seems to get pushed out of the way by the water flow allowing the water to almost pass by the grinds.
I do love my Keurig!

Has anyone seen the Tulley's Kona K-Cups online anywhere. I have not been able to find them recently.

I'm not a huge coffee drinker and haven't bought any k-cups in a while, but have coffee prices risen that much lately? Seems the average per price k-cup is $.60 and going up. Looking at the links that Wayne posted, the one on Amazon is nearly $1.00/cup. the Walmart deal isn't much better at $.66/cup.

Thanks for the heads up, but those prices are insane!!!

I will not pay more than .50/.55 ea for K-Cups and that's not too hard to do. The Keurig Site almost always has them in that price range, with free shipping if you spend over $50

Well... you didn't say you wanted them at a certain price... ;s

However, with commodities going up everyday in price, it is going to be harder and harder to find at a "decent" price.

Don't be sorry my friend, I appreciate the heads-up!

You sure are right about the above! That's kind of sad because it reality over time the ever increasing cost of the K-Cups with put Keurig out of business with respect to the hard working, so called, middle class!

WOW! That's interesting news and sad news at that!

I loved my Keurig at first, but I live in an area with hard water, so the maintenance required to keep it from getting clogged is annoying. It got to the point where hitting the large mug button resulted in about 1/3 cup of coffee coming out. It got better after some scouring, but it's already starting to get bad again. I've owned it less than a year.

I went to Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins yesterday to treat my son to some ice cream. And low and behold they are selling their own K Cups. Not like I can drink the stuff being preggers. However, I bought a box of their Dunkin Dark Roast. Pretty pricey though. 14 K Cups for $11.00. Hubby better enjoy those! :)

They have 5 different ones. French Vanilla, Hazelnut, Original, Dark Roast, and a plain Decaf.
