Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

I have a high end Rancilio for my espresso but find the Keurig a blast to use when I decide to make a quick cup of what we lovingly refer to as "gringo" coffee in my house.
I use Dunkin Donuts coffee with the aftermarket reusable cups. Works like a charm.

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

It's far from the quality of a french press, but I picked up a new K75 just for the sheer convenience of making an additional cup or two after I've had good coffee in the morning. Now I just have to get the correct grind/fill/packing in the reusable k-cup and I'll then have as close to the good stuff with much less work.

Our society is built upon convenience more so than quality or Starbucks and every other fast food chain wouldn't be one on nearly every major city road/block that has any traffic to it at all.

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

I use a coarse grind in my reusable k-cup. Otherwise the water doesn't go through correctly and it comes out over the top. What a mess that is.

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

I opened a k-cup once and it seemed to be a bit more like a percolator type of a grind than much of a coarse drip when I've tinkered with it all of the 30 seconds I've spent on it thus far. :sh

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

I only know what's been working for me in the re-usable k-cups. I've never disected a prepackaged k-cup.

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

Finally got one for fathers day. Now I need to find some good strong KCups. Have some San Fransicso Bay Coffee 'Fog Chaser'. Not strong enough.

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

Drinking fog chaser this morning. We got three boxes of it cheap from Groupon. It's not bad, but as you say, it could be a bit stronger. There's a Folger's italian blend (can't remember the exact name) that's got some decent strength. Also, green mountain makes a double black diamond that is really good.

I've been enjoying Coffee People's Jet Fuel.

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

This one is #1 for me to try. That one and Black Tiger. :dr

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

If you like ice cream you should try a Black Tiger Milk Shake -- the buzz lasts a week :D

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

That sounds interesting.

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

Gotta say, I am loving it so far.

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

Mine broke.. won't pump all it's supposed to.. all the vinegar cleaning in the world won't help it, even took it apart to clean the nozzle.. bleh

but it did work like a champ for 3½ years before it went out!

Now I just use a 1930's percolator I bought on eBay for $13.

Am still looking for a convenient way to make 1 cup of coffee as my girlfriend isn't the biggest coffee drinker out there.. She's the kind who does the whole "pour me a cup!" thing, and then drinks half.

Not sure if i want another Keurig or what..

But to answer the OP, I think they're sticking around

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

Been using the Melita One Cupper with #2 brown coffee filters since the Summer of 1984 Pete. 3 to 4 tablespoons of your favorite grind and some hot water poured over the top works just fine. Just toss the used filter and coffee grounds out and rinse the One Cupper under some hot water and you're good (no need for vinegar too):cf1

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

We recently got a Keurig Bolt which makes a full pot of coffee in like 1 minute. Much better cup of coffee than the single Keurig; not even funny the difference.

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

I bought one to take with me on my travels when working. It is such a P.I.T.A. getting an in room coffee pot that is worth a crap at Hotels I figure it was my best option.

BTW, I roast my own beans and use a refillable basket. I have no need for the little cups they sell for the machines that cost a fortune and are not near as good as what I roast :D

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

Bought the Keurig Vue.

The wife and i are really enjoying it.

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

its sooo simple, why haven't I seen this before? Where doth one buy one of these fancy "cuppers" ? LoL :D

Re: Is the Keurig here....
 

I think that the Keurig is here to stay. We are all way too busy and moving way too fast, plus we each want it “our way.” The Keurig can accommodate all of that. PLUS, I spend WAY less at places such as Starbucks now that I can quickly throw a pod in on my way out the door in the morning. While the price of each pod could be considered expensive, it’s priced a lot lower than a fresh cup of coffee just about anywhere and I can pop a different flavor in every day of the week.
