Default Who has a Keurig coffee pot?

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?

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.

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.

Default Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Default Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?

I got one for Christmas and love it

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
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.

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

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.

Default Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?

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.

Thanks for the link!

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 claims to reduce harness 0.

Here is a little something on water. http://www.big-rick.com/coffee/waterfaq.html
