Disclaimer: I have absolutely not one cent invested in this company

Am I the last person on the planet to learn of the Keurig
coffeemaker?? This thing is *brilliant* It brews single cup coffee so
you get a fresh cup of coffee every time, you can have a half dozen
flavors/types of coffee over the course of the day, you don't need
running water to clean the thing out (okay, the k-cups ain't cheap,
but...) and the DH and I (and the boss and I) don't have to
figuratively arm wrestle as to who gets their choice of coffee that
day. Well, actually, I don't drink much coffee-coffee, but I do like
mochas, tea and hot chocolate, all of which this little beauty can
produce both before and after the DH (and the boss) have made their
coffee-coffee. It even does a fairly acceptable espresso (no crema,
but pretty tasty, anyway).

First bought one for the office. We don't have running water and
cleaning out the coffee pot meant using the building's restroom sinks,
which just grossed me out. We do have a water cooler, so this gizmo is
just the ticket for the office. When I talked it up to the DH, he
buzzed around to my office to try it out, then immediately ordered one
for home. He's now ordered another one for his office. He's the only
one in his office who drinks coffee, but says that after 2 hours, you
may as well throw it out. His (law) partner and her trustee's
assistant both like hot cocoa, so we seem to have a winner here, too.
This is just too cool for school!

The downside: all 3 of us now drink about 200% more coffee-coffee,
mochas, tea and hot chocolate than *ever* before. The upside: we are
very, very alert!

We saw them at Costco last week. Since you'd mentioned them,
I pointed it out, I hear this makes great coffee. Ron said Oh, we
had that at work, it made the best coffee!!

I think if the expense of those little serving cups wasn't so
high, we'd have brought one of those bad boys home.

Not anymore! I need a new coffee maker, but I'll pass on that one.
Any other suggestions?

I got my Keurig coffeemaker a few months ago and LOVE it! I, too, am
drinking MUCH more coffee--at least twice as much caffeinated and also
1-2 cups of decaf. It is so much fun finding the coffees you like, and
also being able to make different coffees as the mood strikes.

That being said, I won't use the cocoa, didn't even use the one that
came with the maker, because I don't like the ingredients.

Right now I am just finishing up a cup of Green Mountain's Dark Magic,
my new favorite. Previously I was drinking Diedrich's French Roast
combined with either Green Mountain's Sumatran Reserve or, preferably,
Coffee People's Organic. I have yet to find the perfect decaf.

You CAN get a little gizmo that allows you to use your choice of coffee.
I was tempted to try this, because my erstwhile favorite coffee (New
Mexican Pinon) is not available in K-Cups. BUT you have to disassemble
the machine a bit to use it, and you wouldn't have the absolute
freshness, perfect grind, and perfect amount of the coffee beans.

Interesting! Thanks for that info, Jean.

You can buy refillable filters (which we did).

Seems like a lot of work for a cup of coffee.

Oooh, we have one also, and just love it. I love the "Jet Fuel" and the
"Wake Up Call", tho I am fond of the Green Mountain selections as well.

I'm going to have to order those. It's good you can get the small
packages to try. :-)

It is just so much fun. Right before I got mine, I realized that coffee
was about the only beverage I truly enjoyed drinking.

Just got one myself. The refills aren't that
pricey, considering how much it costs to buy a cup of coffee on the
way to work!
