Re: Is the Keurig here....
I got one for Christmas and love it. I am the only one who drinks coffee in my house so this is perfect for me. Finding the right coffee for me can be a challenge. I prefer stronger, richer flavors in my coffee so I am still searching for the right coffee. I do think that the prices of the cups are way too high too.

I agree that it is here to stay. People like convenience no matter what the cost (price and quality).

It is definitely here to stay, at least until something better comes along. Nice to be able to quickly make a single cup. I use the Solofill refillable cup when I want something other than packaged k-cup coffee. I like the Solofill better than Keurig's My K-Cup refillable.

Just broke down and got one.

The Keurig is for occasional American coffee fix. |
Re: Is the Keurig here....
I have one in my office at work, I drink 2 or 3 cups a day, it's perfect for that, don't have to drink the cheap crap in the cafeterias, I've worked at places that had really good java, this isn't one of them.

Re: Is the Keurig here....
I'll say this -- as a guy who loves coffee and will pay top dollar for a high-end, private lot cup, the Keurig's still a pretty good buy. I think part of the true enjoyment of getting one is the coffee you buy with it: the Green Mountain varieties (especially the darker roasts) are great, and there's some random brands (i.e. Coffee People's "Jet Fuel") that are fantastic.
The Wegmans K-Cups, however, leave this weird aftertaste when I use them, so those have gone to the wayside. In the interest of saving money, I purchased one of the "converters" that allows you to fill your own pod with your own coffee, so you can just buy a can of Chock Full O' Nuts and do that. However, I've also found that if the wife and I are going to drink coffee all morning on a Sunday, we just pull out the coffee pot (!) and make a full one to drink. |

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. |

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.
