They make a cup that uses ground coffee. It's way cheaper than the k-cups.
And you can make it strong or weak.
Make sure you get the one for you're model.

^^what he said....ours is purple, from Walmart, but most grocery stores carry them too, and you spoon in your own from the can or bag.

We have found it as cheap as .15/cup at Ollies or Big Lots once in a while and pick some cups up then, used mostly in the camper.

X3 use your preferred coffee. Kcups are crazy expensive. I think they are geared toward people who drink 1 cup of coffee a day or once in awhile

HyVee has a box of 100 for $20.00.
I have trouble with the fill your own cup. It doesn't want to work with it.

I drink AT LEAST 6 cups per day, so, no Keurig for me.

Hate kerigs. I grind my own and use variety of markers. French press, espresso, etc.
Hater of freeze dried coffee too.

Amazon has some great deals on large batches of K-Cups.

It doesn't matter how cheaply you can find Keurig cups, they still make a poor tasting cup of coffee.

Re: Keurig coffee people? - 01/15/19 02:59 PM

That's all my mom uses anymore because she likes her coffee freshly made. I've not noticed a lessening of quality when I visit and have Keurig coffee with her, taste fine to me.

Re: Keurig coffee people? - 01/15/19 03:05 PM

Yes waggler, that is why I would get the cheap ones bc
They all taste nothing like perked coffee on the stove.

Congratulations on the soon to be arrival of your 3rd son NE Wildlife. We have 3 boys ourselves. You certainly shouldn't have to make your own coffee so you might need to have a quick sit down with her and discuss roles and responsibilities. She needs only get out of bed 10 minutes before you to solve this problem..

I buy the Victor Allen donut shop blend when either Farm& Fleet or Menards have them on sale.
Around $20-22 for a box of 80.

We had 4 kids ...never missed a cup of java! If she cannot handle keeping your coffee cup full how is she going to remember to breastfeed? Hmmmmm....

JK ... MENARDS , Menards sells 90 count boxs for between $18 and 24 bucks ... Walmart sells big boxs also

Re: Keurig coffee people? - 01/15/19 05:24 PM

I buy 100 count donut shop for around $38-$42. I only drink one cup on my way to work then another cup that's brewed at work. I think its a great cup of coffee but on the weekends when I drink
more I make a pot. Still expensive cup of coffee and the makers don't last long, a year or two usually is our limit.

My Keurig sits in the closet, I prefer a 30$ Mr coffee , coffee maker

Re: Keurig coffee people? - 01/16/19 12:07 AM

Depends on how important your coffee is. I make coffee before I go pee or get dressed.
Only one cup per day, and it is a religious experience for me. I drink Folgers Black Silk and can get it for .50 per cup on Amazon if I get 120 count.
I'm spoiled.

I lost the K-cup battle with the significantly obtuse other.
I miss the romance of making it in the ole pot (the coffee too...).
I generally made a fresh pot every week, even if there's some left over.

Was a costco earlier getting gas $1.69 and ran in for water. They had some 100 count for $20.

McCafé for me. Tim Hortons dark roast sometimes to mix it up. Nothing beats percolated coffee though.

You can buy your favorite coffee and brew a single cup of "Rocket Fuel"... Probably one of the Best cups of coffee!

One trick l use for the Keriug is to preheat my mug with hot water before l place it under the machine takes a minute for it to come up to temperature. I than dump the hot water in the reservoir and start my brewing. That way my coffee stays hotter longer.

Re: Keurig coffee people? - 01/17/19 04:11 PM

my wife had to have a keurig several years back. when we had it i would price shop for the best per cup price locally, which generally meant buying in boxes of 100 or more
after cleaning it a few times, i saved the gunk that came out of it and she was done with the thing. lots of nastiness.

we use a french press now

Re: Keurig coffee people? - 01/17/19 04:27 PM

I'm pretty sure coffee tastes must be Regional, or at least it used to be. Several years ago when I visited friends and relatives in The Dakotas and Michigan I recall their coffee had the color of tea. Kind of like church coffee. Little to no flavor.

I don't know if that's because that's how people drink or drank it there, or if all those folks were just cheap-skates trying to stretch their coffee.

I suppose if that's the kind of coffee you grew up with Keurig would taste pretty good.

Re: Keurig coffee people? - 01/18/19 11:12 AM

Some like it hot.
Some like it cold.
Some like it in the pot
nine days old.

I make it one cup at a time as I want it fresh and start sipping when it stops dripping. I'm sure the cheap generic brand doesn't taste as good as a good name brand. Folgers Black Silk is the best I've found yet and it is a very strong cup of coffee. When I was in Alaska, I never had a bad cup of coffee.

We had one of the earlier models and it worked okay - all I ever use is a refillable "basket" k-cup with Dunkin' Donuts grounds. Good stuff. Then my lovely wife won a fancy new model in a raffle. The new technology included an electronic "eye" that reads whether or not you are using Kuerig brand K-cups. If not, it won't work at all. Nice. So, I jumped on The Google and learned of a way to bypass that feature. I had to take the top off of the machine and splice a wire. Felt like I was defusing a bomb ("Which wire do I cut?"), but it worked perfectly.

That probably saves you more than the .00000000035% interest on your money in the bank.

Have they caught on as to why you stop by every morning as the doors are being unlocked?
