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

We get our coffee here....good variety, fast shipping.

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.

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

Another great site for kcups is coffeecart.com. Great prices and they carry Van Houtte.

Spent some wedding gift cards today:



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.

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

That's the same machine we have as well...and I also have the same micorwave...just on the other side of the Keurig.

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:
