keurig coffee
 
Have a keurig coffee. I usually order the coffee online. Anyone have a favorite website they use to order their coffee?

romanojg 01-01-2013 08:25 AM

I don't order mine on line. I like a variety but not the variety pack because the way too many "bold" ones in there and I like mellow coffee. Bed Bath and Beyond has a good variety and usually always a coupon for them. I go to the Navy Commisary and I also get good deals at BJ's. I also like the Dunkin Doughnuts holiday ones. I've checked online but didn't see any better deals there than I can get locally.

If you have a Costco or Sam's club in your area you can get 80 cups for between 30.00/36.00. That makes them about 37 cents each. My husband has been ordering right from Green Mountain or Keurig company. He's not here right now so can't ask what site he orders from. If you order enough you get free shipping.

Never thought of Costco, I pay about .58 each online, so thanks for the info.

We buy our coffee's at Costco and there is also a local store that carries a full library of coffee's and teas for the Keurig you can try out single K-cups if you haven't tasted them before it's where we originally bought our machine

NanaCsews2 01-01-2013 06:04 PM

For Christmas we bought each of our children a Keurig re-usable K cup filter so they can save a ton of money by buying canisters of their favorite coffees and filling the cups themselves.

seamstome 01-01-2013 06:06 PM

I buy from Coffee Giant and Keurig. I dont like variety packs. I do pay about 58 cents

momto5 01-01-2013 06:14 PM

I am on my third Keurig coffee maker...and am not too thrilled with the brand. The first one I had quit working after 8 months; the second after 6 months, the jury is still out on this one. Doesn't seem to matter what coffee I use in it, either the prepacked or the fill-your-own cups, I end up having trouble. But...in Keurig's defense, they've been extremely good about honoring their warranty. And I like the taste of the coffee...hope this one holds up!

BellaBoo 01-01-2013 06:46 PM

I order from Keurig when there is a special. Walmart here sells the Keurig 16 cup package of many different brews $.9.99 to $10.99. I ordered a case of Gevalia coffee for $3 a package at their Christmas special online. I could mix and match the flavors any way I wanted. I'm stocked for coffee for at least a year. Just one more item I don't have to buy for a year and more money saved to buy another great deal on high priced items.

kuntryquilter 01-02-2013 05:13 AM

I order from Amazon.com. No tax & no shipping. I get 80 pods for $31.00.

KimmerB 01-02-2013 05:37 AM

I buy mine on line from Amazon or Keurig or go to Kohl's when I have a 30% off coupon. I also use the Solofill (sp?) kcup to use my own coffee, I found that the Keurig kcup puts ground into my cup and I hate that.

coopah 01-02-2013 05:53 AM

We don't have a Costco nearby, so we wait for the Bed, Bath & Beyond coupons to come in the mail for either $5 off $15 purchase or 20% off on a single item.

kydeb 01-02-2013 06:04 AM

I bought the reusable filter. It's not that hard to clean out and I can use any coffee I want. Love it!!!

Grammie Sharon 01-02-2013 06:09 AM

We received a Kuerig for Christmas too. Thanks for the info.

themachinelady 01-02-2013 07:06 AM

Ohhh I thought the little filter was a big pain to clean and it left fine grounds in the cup. I was not pleased with the one I purchased and took it back. The local sources run about 70 cents for the pre-packaged coffee in my area and at even 37 cents (if ordered) my own coffee is cheaper and with groceries going up out of sight each day you go to buy, one must watch corners. Plus I didn't think it developed the coffee flavor as fast as it went thru either so decided I wasn't paying well over a hundred dollars for something I would not like and returned it. They were very nice about taking it back. Hubby doesn't like flavored coffees and the little cups were way to strong for us.

A happy experience, NOT for me.

Yooper32 01-02-2013 07:39 AM

The last few times I bought at Sam's Club, they were in the $45 range, no more $30. Can't say about Costco as I haven't been over to VA in quite a while and we have none here in WV that I know of.
PS, if you use the Eco-brew holders, you will also want to use the throw-away paper filters that come in a clam-pkg. and you will have no more sludge or grounds in your cup

skowron5 01-02-2013 07:46 AM

We have a store that gets outdated coffee. I pay 4.99 for 18 pods. So far I can't taste the difference. They had the apple cider for 99 cents for 18 pods. Hubby loves it when he comes back from ice fishing. So I bought a couple boxes.

nygal 01-02-2013 08:05 AM

My dh and I love the Tulley's Extra Bold Decaf. We order four boxes of it every two weeks from the Keurig website. It arrives in about four days and we never run out! A bold decaf is harder to find in person.

matraina 01-02-2013 08:16 AM

We're still on our first Keurig and have had it about 4 years with no problems. We get our K-cups from Bed, Bath, and Beyond - always with a coupon.

I've had mine for about 4 years now and never had a single problem! I love it and I get my coffee at Safeway and Walmart.

DJinSC 01-02-2013 09:17 AM

My daughter is on her third coffeemaker but luckily Keurig has replaced each one with no problem. My neighbor also had to replace one. It's great that the company replaces them without a hassle, but you'd think they'd get the idea that maybe some tweaking is needed to improve their product! My husband has had his about 2 1/2 years and absolutely loves it. Knock on wood, we haven't had to replace ours yet.

This is the most economical way to go... we've bought 3 of the K-cups... LOVE our Keurig!!!

Quilt Lover Grandma 01-02-2013 10:09 AM

We have had ours for over a year, no problems. Kids use it for hot chocolate, Sweedie for tea and me for coffee. Yeah~

I use the green mountain and keurig sites. I find that with 4 boxes there is free shipping and if you join the 'club' there is a discount. No charge for joining. Love my Keurig!!

LynnVT 01-02-2013 10:40 AM

We've had our Keurig since last Christmas and a friend told me about this site: http://www.my-cap.com/?referrer=bing...gn=my-kap-caps They are little plastic caps you use on either cups you buy from them or old ones that you clean out. It is a bit of a pain cleaning the cups out, but saves a lot of $$. When we got ours it was about $12 for 9 caps and a brush to clean out the cups. Have you tried http://www.greenmountaincoffee.com/ ? They have pretty good deals. However our local Jiffy Mart gas station sells boxes of 24 for $12.99, so we get them there now. Love the convenience.

nygal 01-02-2013 11:31 AM

We are on our second Keurig. We love it so much it's worth it to inform the company when having problems. I agree...they should figure out what the problems are so they last longer.

That's how we use our Keurig too. So much cheaper, and we can use the kind of coffee we like.

SharonCase 01-02-2013 05:38 PM

We order online from CoffeeIcon.com . We don't like the refillable cups because they don't make the coffee full-bodied enough. We are pretty serious about our coffee; we've got a Keurig plumbed into the house water. No more filling the reservoir.

sewdamncute 01-02-2013 05:48 PM

Coffee icon, great prices and shipping

imnywoman 01-02-2013 06:02 PM

I love my Keurig, but I don't like that the plastic is not recyclable. When you think of all that plastic that goes into the landfill, it's a sin. I have purchased 2 different types of fill it yourself, reusable K-cups. I like the Ecko Brew best. I am thinking that maybe I can use the empty K's to start seeds in, then transfer to a larger pot as they grow. We have to think about Green!!

I buy mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond. They have the best selection and best price with 20% off coupon.

Debbie C 01-02-2013 07:10 PM

my last Keurig died one month after the warranty expired - the heck with it - I'm now dating Mr. Coffee again!

Krystyna 01-03-2013 05:36 AM

I love black silk and other dark coffees and either buy them at Bed Bath and Beyond with a coupon or at Walmart. Otherwise, I buy a can and use the attachment so I can make my own mixture. Honestly when my son gave me one last Christmas I thought it was a colossal waste of money, but it does save on coffee and the price of coffee is always going up up up. No more wasted coffee sitting in a pot all day. I make what I'm going to drink and that's that!

Steady Stiching 01-03-2013 07:31 AM

I order from amazon too. Like anything you pay for quality coffee. I bought my favorite brand (nantucket blend) at walmart and it was much weaker than what I get at amazon.
I recently hit a special sale at Aldi and stocked up....I actually bought each flavor and tried them and went back up and stocked up on coastal blend, didn't care for their dark roast

Patchesnposies 01-03-2013 08:13 AM

The Coffee and Tea Warehouse is where we buy our coffee beans in bulk. I order 20 lbs at a time at a great discount, but I am not sure if they carry the little cups that are so popular now.

Jim9across 01-03-2013 07:17 PM

I used a Keurig over four years ago at work and considered getting one at Costco for over a year. Then when I checked Consumer Reports, there were many reports of them failing within a year so I decided not to get one. They do make really good, fresh coffee. I may get one when/if they are made more reliable.

puck116 01-04-2013 01:43 PM

I use coffeeking.com they have a nice variety and also large quantity boxes. Free shipping for orders over $60.

My DDs and I use reusable ones that she found online. They not only save $$ but are so much better for the envirnment. I can live with a little inconvience if it meens saving trash space.

BellaBoo 01-07-2013 12:20 PM

The Keurig doesn't save you money on coffee so if that is a concern for you or someone you are buying it for, it won't be a good buy. DH and I have decided that Donut Shop is our brand for everyday coffee. FYI: Donut House is milder then Donut Shop

lots2do 01-07-2013 12:40 PM

DH got me some cafe cups he saw on t.v. For filling my own. Haven't tried them yet. You don't have to take anything apart to use them.
