Kuerig coffee naker
 

We have the Kuerig with 48 oz reservoir. Have had it for 3 years, no problems.
Bought it at QVC and this time of the year they often have great deals that include some K cups along free shipping and handling. You also have until 1/31/12 to return the product with no questions asked.

We also bought clear plastic covers that fit the K cups so you can fill them with your favorite coffee for less money. Think they were $20 for 5 of them at www.My-Kap.com. Just be careful, I threw the first one away forgetting it was on there. Just have to line up the hole that was punctured when K cup was originally used and can usually use same one 3 times .

Nice to buy coffee on sale and enjoy your favorites. You can fill them and keep in freezer too !

I watched the video of the plastic covers. There is no charge for shipping. I may try it when I return th TV. Thanks for the tip.

Bottled or Filtered Water
 

Good Advise! Filtered or Bottled water only.

We came down in July to buy our lot.

Wife brought the coffee maker with us. Used the tap water from the CYV in Saint James.

I almost gagged on the taste of my favorite coffee.

Cleaned it out went back to bottled water- All was well

I have a question. I have looked at the various coffee makers but it seemed to me that the coffee itself was a lot of money per cup as compared to the coffee from my Mr. Coffee. Is it?

If you buy the premade cups, it is expensive. However, I have a couple of cups made of plastic and a mesh that you refill and can use 100s of times. The keurig machines and the cuisant both come with refillable cups as well.

I buy both flavored and unflavored coffee beans, grind them at the store and use that. Speaking of coffee, I recently got some from THE COFFEE GOURMENT at the Spanish Springs craft fair and it was incredible. The vender will be at LSL Jan 7-8 and I am going to stock up. Her coffee iss $8 a bag and very highly flavored.

I tried those caps and had a terrible time with them. They never seemed to fit correctly.

When the water in ANY residence has not been used for more than 4 or 5 days...........IMHO.......

WE should run the "HOT" and "cold" water from every device for at least 4 or 5 minutes... in the showers and tubs and all sink faucets.... etc. ....run out enough to replace ALL the water that was sitting in the Hot Water Heater tank .. AND ...all water lines.
"anaerobic" bacteria found in all unused water lines is not good for you.

You would not believe what you would see...if you could see it.....

We had "city water" from fire hydrants trucked out to fill swimming pools when they were completed.

Two or three 7500 gallon tankers would unloaded that water thru a 6 inch hose........WOW....you could actually SEE anaerobic bacteria that looked like "opaque" FIVE INCH fish swimming along. Of course they all disappeared within 30 seconds or so....(because they had been exposed to air) .....That is what is in "unused" water lines......when we have not used the water for a period of time....Run out 2 or 3 hundred gallons of water.
...might even save a trip to the Doc

Not sure what a Keurig is but I am familiar with SENSEO and Tassimo brands those I can tell you can not touch the variety or full flavor of the Nespresso coffee pods. The machines ( for the Nesspresso coffee) are usually by Krups or DiLonghi and can be found on Amazon, at Maceys or Williams & Sonoma. If you are a true coffee lover but don't want the hassel of cleaning a big machine, Nesspresso and the machines that brew them are absolutely the best. Nespresso coffee pods can not be bought at any retail stores, it must be ordered over the phone or on-line. They are delivered to your home in 24hrs. The Nespresso coffee pods have been big here in Europe for a number of years and they are available in the States as well. Many of the folks in my office have converted to Nespresso and once they do they never go back!

I'm sure the K cups aren't cheap, but the variety paks are irresistible. I love to try new things! And you get coffee in one minute! :mornincoffee: So far we're loving our new Keurig!

Yes, absolutely the k-cups are more expensive per cup. The thing is you have a fresh hot cup anytime you please. In the morning you want your fresh extra-bold strong cup of coffee, you put the k-cup in and you got it. After lunch, you have a craving for a hazelnut flavored cup, you got it. One freshly made cup, when you want it, and nothing more.

The warehouse stores have good prices. I especially like Paul Newman's Extra Bold. It's about $39 for 80 cups. So it's about 50 cents per cup. Amazon has some deals also.

I am the original founder of Green Mountain Coffee roasters... this is the company that owns and markets the Keurig coffee makers...it is simply the Razor/ razor blade syndrome...buy the coffeemaker and spend a fortune on the coffee pods that you have to use in the machine...DO THE MATH... you end up spending over $20.00 per pound for less than decent quality coffee... the machines aren't so cheap either... you can buy an inexpensive drip maker and a years supply of Mr. Peets for the price of a keurig ...just my opinion...doug

I bought the B70 model for my wife for her birthday several years ago. When she opened it she said "what do I need this for?" Now she wouldn't be without it. It make a perfect cup of coffee every time with a huge choice of flavors and styles to choose from. Haven't had any problems with the unit at all - highly recommend the Keurig!:wave:

I tried a Paul Newman Extra Bold today, yikes, it's strong. So far I prefer Vanilla Biscotti. It's fun to try all the different flavours!

Miss Sam keeps trying to get me to taste the flavored one. Not my cup of tea eeer coffee. The bold ones are my favs.

Glad you decided on Keurig, Bare. We love ours. And Richie is right about the Customer Service. It is terrific. About three years after we bought our first one, it did stop working. They actually replaced it for us promptly and at no charge-- and it wasn't under warranty.

A fabulous product and terrific customer service: how often do you get that anymore. ENJOY!
