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?

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 
And if you get reusable filters then you can put Fresh roast coffee in it.

MrsSledn 12-31-2009 01:46 PM

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 
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. :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 01-01-2010 07:46 PM

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 
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

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 
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
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.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 
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 01-03-2010 05:34 PM

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.

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

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

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

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

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 
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.

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.

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

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 
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.

All you guys that recently got one know about the deal you get when you register online @ Keurig.com it right?

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:

Ok, as I said I love the single cup offerings.

But why, oh why did they have to start designing supporting items?
(The k-cup holder is really cool)

I just use an old spice rack for my K-cup holder. Works great and it didn't cost me anything extra :)

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.

MrsSledn 04-04-2010 01:32 PM

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 
Most boxes hold either 24 or 25 kcups for $9.99.

Ours is acting a little funny the past couple weeks. Running slower.

GreekGodX 04-04-2010 01:34 PM

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 
Amazon has K-Cups Coffee & Tea (for use in Keurig brewing machines) from Coffee People, Diedrich, and Gloria Jean starting at $21 for pack of 50. Choose subscribe and save, and apply coupon code KCUP5499 to save an additional 10% making them from as low as $15.50 with free shipping. (from slickdeals)

Really good pricing. I love the donut shop coffee and the Jet Fuel.

I would try diluting some vineagar in water and running it through the machine. Just to clean it out.

Really? Where are these boxes for $10 with 24 or 25 cups? I'm a bit new to this, and haven't seen these discounts yet.

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.

Re: Who has a Keurig coffee pot?
 
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.
