Just love ours. We buy our coffee by the case at BJ's. It's cheaper there. We like the coffee better than Dunkin Doughnuts.

Hello Leah, I am originally from Maine and I miss it.The only thing that Florida has going for it is the weather! Now, I have the Keurig and I love the fact I can make a cup anytime but I am finding that my brewer makes loud noises when brewing. I have had it for a couple of years now. The K cups can be a little expensive for the 18 box. And just in case of an emergency I purchased the seperate holder that you can use your favorite coffee also. Give it a try I think you will really like the convience I just wish mine was not so loud.

This is true. Especially when I use to throw the unused portion of the old coffee maker. I use to save it and make Ice Coffee but it just didn't taste the same.

I have one and love it! I also bought the extra cup so I could use my Starbucks coffee. The k-cup coffees are very good, so are the teas. I would check around for price. Our BJ's has one that comes with about 70 k-cups of coffee! Good deals can be found. I wouldn't buy any other coffee maker!

I love my coffee, and I love it strong, so I gave up on plug in makers of any kind and found a very nice french press at goodwill for 1$ and bought it on a whim. (looked it up online and its a 30$ press) Will never drink anything else and can take it on vacation w/ me, and have coffee in a power outage lol. sharet

I can NOT live without mine. I have two, one at work and one at home. Love the dark roast and bold coffee flavors. I believe a 20% coupon can be used at Bed, Bath and Beyond towards the purchase of a Keurig.

Some of the best flavors EVER. I always use my 20-30% coupons at Kohles to buy the cups. LOVE IT

I own a Keurig. I bought a extra filter, one for coffee of my choice grounded, save a fortune. and the basic holder I put a teabag in holder and let it filter thru, a better tea then placing in cup. They are ready to use whenever you have a urge. I Love It. Goes on trips with me too. tip...when filling filter with a scoop of coffee...the first cup is strong, I run again and both top off my commuter mug and perfect flavor. Kids will make hot water for instant oatmeal.

I have one and we love it!!! The coffee is a bit expensive so don't let that surprise you. And there are many different coffe flavors to select from. I love the french vanilla the best.

However, the coffee pods are ridiculously expensive. I bought the use your own coffee attachment.
I also hit the largest button twice with each brewing - I like a large mug of coffee.

It is an expensive machine so I'd check around - I had a 20% coupon from my local kitchen supply shop.
I think Amazon has it a bit less expensive too.

Enjoy it!

I love mine. My husband really cut back on his coffee drinking using it.

I tried the mesh brew cup but had grounds in my coffee. What's the trick?
