Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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.
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.

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've heard rumors the Starbucks is canceling their contract with tassimo and going to Keurig. Can anyone confirm?

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

Thanks for your thought out replies. I am by no means an expert on coffee, but it makes it strong enough for me and tastes wonderful, imo.

Do you drink espresso straight?

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

Not really all that often. Mostly french press or americanos.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

I've had one of those Solofil's in the cart on Amazon, but never pulled the trigger. Looks like I should finally get it after reading your review Sawyer. Probably should get 2.

Can you expand a bit on your grinding/filling method? From the research I did on the K-Cup, that was the thing most people had trouble with.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

it's true.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

I need to stock up on some Black Gold then.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

Ive got the K-cup and I found that it used to leaked alot of water. I will have to check out the solo cup.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

This is what I do and it works like a charm.

Has any company made a delicious and pocket friendly hot chocolate for them yet?

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

Thanks! I will try that this weekend.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

I believe so. Check their website. I think I recall seeing it @ Christmas time

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

Anyone excited for the Dunkin Donuts K-Cups this summer?

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

First I've heard of that. But me likey. :tu

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

Thanks for the help!

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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!

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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!

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

bad batch of kona crop this year, no kona at all anywhere!

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 

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.
