The Keurig Fan thread...

[Tomorrow]

You won't save money on coffee with a K Cup unless you get something like an Ekobrew and use your own grounds.

Or if you're like us, and only brew a few cups a week. It was very expensive for us to brew half a pot of drip when somebody ended up only wanting one cup.

Keurig Vue

I switched from the K-Cup to the Vue. Surprisingly, the ability to make the coffee stronger, etc. really does make a difference. While I think the coffee tastes much better using the Vue, they still do not have enough choices - especially if you are a hot tea drinker. Even with the lack of choices, I don't regret switching as the taste is noticeable.

My household brews about 10 cups a day during the week and no less then 15 a day during the weekends.

I make myself a cup a day before heading to work then 2-3 on the weekends per day. It's still more expensive vs a bag of coffee but way more convenient. Mine is the B70 Platinum and this Christmas will be 2 years old. Hoping it lasts at least another year. I always use filtered water from the fridge dispenser to fill the reservoir.

I like the Tully Italian Roast and Green Mountain Sumatran Reserve...

I've tried a few others, including donut shop, newmans, and some of the other green mountain roasts and thought most of them tasted bitter and had an unpleasant aftertaste.

If it's a dark roast K-cup flavor you're looking for, I recommend you try Caribou Coffee's Obsidian at least once. It's the smoothest, most aftertaste-free dark roast I've had from a K-cup.

In the USA, they're available at Target and online; I once saw them at Big Lots too.
