I went to the Christmas Tree Shop at Tanger last week and they had a TON of Donut Shop Coffee for $7.99 a box, but I don't know how many were in the box!

Re: Keurig....Love it, Hate it???

we have the platinum one that makes 3 different sizes and a setting for iced coffee.
It took going through a lot of sample flavors before we found the coffee we love. You can also set the temp. of how hot you want your coffee.
As far as price, it was getting really expensive in the beginning but once we found the one we liked I found it on sale at greenmountain.com for $36 for a box of 80 which is great I think (45 cents a cup)

For more than a few people I use my faberware pot also.

Re: Keurig....Love it, Hate it???

I love it. I hate grinding the beans and waiting for the entire pot to brew. Some days I want one cup, some days I want four. It's perfect. DH even got us each one to take to work!

Re: Keurig....Love it, Hate it???

I have a love/hate relationship with it.

Love that it is easy to use, makes various sizes, iced coffee and even espresso. Love that we don't have to make a pot in the morning and I can travel to work with a cup ready to go. It also heats up quickly.

Hate most of the coffee flavors I have tried. I am a dark roast coffee person and the one that I currently love is Emeril's. I know there is a box out there with all dark roast that I need to have.

Even though I have it on the highest setting, it still isn't hot enough. And, I can't use the "largest" cup size because the coffee is too weak. And, sometimes a weird aftertaste.

That said, for my average day, its OK. But I never use it for Sunday morning coffee. And mostly for company, I'll brew a pot.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! I have a Tassimo and I hated it. I thought everything that came out of it was nasty. We are actually trying to get rid of it! Bought a Keurig and use it everyday!! There are so many good flavored coffees and I'm obsessed with the iced-teas and iced coffee currently! So easy and really not that expensive if you buy k-cups at bed, bath, beyond using a coupon.

Re: Keurig....Love it, Hate it???

We love it-neither of us drinks coffee, but it's great for the chai tea and hot chocolate..we love it when people come over and we can quickly make them cups...we do have an old school one, but I haven't taken it out since...we have the one where you can choose the cup size...

Just got the special edition one and I love it. It retails for $140 and I bought it on ebay for $61 shipped. It was a display model. It works excellent

Re: Keurig....Love it, Hate it???

Love it but don't want it! (my parents bought it for themselves and other family members and I insisted that they NOT buy one for us).

We dont have the counterspace for the nicer Keurig and it would be a waste of money for us because I drink 99% of my coffee at work for free, and DH doesnt drink coffee.

We don't even own a coffee maker! The few times I have coffee I usually just drink the instant Folgers pouches or instant Starbucks because I have low standards and am lazy.

I do drink Keurig coffee whenever I'm at someone's house who has one though.

Love it! It's perfect for us b/c DH is not a coffee drinker so its such a waste for me to make a pot of coffee when I'll drink only 1-2 cups per day.

Re: Keurig....Love it, Hate it???

I don't like the Keurig at all. It just tastes like glorified instant coffee to me.

I looove my tassimo. It tastes more like fresh brewed, none of that plastic taste that the Keurig has. It's just my opinion. The only thing I like better about the Keurig is that you can choose to make your own coffee.

We love it. We have at home and at work. The 3-cup size is a must! but I imagine you could run the single size twice on one pod? it's the same concept as the larger size on the 3-size model.

v - when i make tea i just dont put any pod in hit brew and put the tea bag in the cup - that way hot water jsut comes out



Seeee! This is why I freaking love you! lol Chat Icon




I actually put the teabag into the pod area - just being sure not to put it on the spike. I want to make sure I get the strongest tea possible!

The tree hugger in me really dislikes all of the k-cups that get thrown out now.
We have one in my office that we use & we also make coffee for patients so the single serving & picking flavors really makes it a treat for them.
I still love my nearly 10 year old cuisanart coffee pot with the reusable gold filter at home. Very little waste/garbage produced & I can make big pots since DH & I both bring big travel mugs from home each day.

Re: Keurig....Love it, Hate it???

Have it and love it also! I must say though you have to be diligent about keeping it clean. There are ways to clean out the deposits to keep it tasting fresh by using water and white vinegar and running it through (can look this up).

We use coffeecow.com

Thanks for the bigcatcoffee.com tip!

I seriously made the world's worse coffee. People wouldn't even pretend to drink it to be polite. My husband bought me the Keurig and I LOVE it! Now I can drink coffee at home Chat Icon
