With the advent of K cups, and life getting busier (not retired yet) I have switched to a K cup for my morning coffee (Cuisinart K Cup brewer). I have tried many many brands (even the types mentioned above) but have not found one that is "consistently" good. I try brand xyz and it is great. Brew the next cup of xyz and not so great. The water I use is consistent (spring). Temperature the same but the taste still varies. Do you have any suggestion of a kcup that you like? Thanks.

Angelino’s coffee and tea, the best K-cup coffee I’ve ever had. Order on line and receive it in 3-4 days.

Koa Premium Hawaiian Coffee is my favorite. Fantastic flavor, best overall quality. Expensive, but you get what you pay for.


Happy Mug – Opening Soon has an excellent espresso (Bigfoot blend). I can't live without it.

Best cup of coffee I could find was at Johnny Rocket's at LSL. I was quite surprised.

Coffee Hawaii | Kona Purple Mountain.
This company is just as the website says. Family owned and if you call them you will most likely talk to Donna. We have been buying coffee from them over 20 years.

We also use this coffee maker.

I threw my Moccamaster out. (Actually, I gave it to GoodWill.) Worst coffeemaker I've ever owned, worst tasting coffee brewed from that thing. Unfortunately, I still have the one in France, due to available space issues. I admit it's a nice slim design.

I think we've had this discussion before, so enough said. I do like your coffee roaster choices, though.

That's Nespresso with an 'N'. Made by Breville. This type of coffee maker extracts the maximum flavor from the capsules by centrifical force. No dripping. And the capsules can be recycled. If you want to try a cup, you can go to a Nespresso Boutique. And I did the research. The closest Nespresso Boutique is here: 4298 Millenia Boulevard
32839 Orlando. That's Macy's in the Millenia Mall.
Tel. (800) 562-1465

After golf my group routinely goes to McDonalds. They have a good cup of coffee for 79 cents. Oh, refill if you want. Once we did go to Starbucks. I never heard such screams over their prices. We are a “cheap” Midwest kind of group.

Not "cheap"! "Frugal", "financially responsible". Too intelligent to fall for the scam of over priced coffee. Know a decent cup of "Joe" when you taste it. Unwilling to be fleeced for the sake of appearance. Many other things as well. But, absolutely NOT cheap!
My hat is off to you, oh wise and noble coffee aficionado.

If you clean it regularly you don't have to replace it until it breaks. The instructions that come with the Keurig specify that you should clean it regularly, and they sell the cleaning products in ready-to-use packets/containers.

Mine has a charcoal water filter that snaps in to the water reservoir. Plus I pull out the well where the k-pod goes and clean that every week, plus I run the cleaner through every few months. PLUS I use filtered water to begin with, so there's less sediment that can grow bacteria.

Keurig uses a burst of pressure at the end of the process, which creates a thin layer of crema in your cup. That's actually a good thing. Complaining about the crema in your coffee is like complaining that the bartender didn't put a cherry in your glass of Krug Brut champagne.
