tentimesodds Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I've never been a coffee drinker (even through law school, somehow) but lately I've been dabbling a bit, and the wife enjoys hot tea daily, so we bought a Keurig K-Cup machine. I figure somebody here has to get their daily coffee from somewhere else than the latest free trade independently owned organic locally sourced coffee outpost, so any recommendations? Thank you in advance, both for any input you might have as to what's good, and for not making this a thread about how grinding and brewing my own coffee, or only drinking espresso out of a $900 machine, is the only way to go...

Sthitch Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Both my wife and my father enjoy the Donut House and Green Mountain Coffee brands. Both are also hoping that the Dunkin Donuts coffee will be released soon. Edited May 12, 2011 by Sthitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slarochelle Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 We have that system at work and have Green Mountain cups delivered. The Colombian Supreme is pretty good, full flavor. Had their French Roast - too roasted for me, like getting a brewed coffee at a Starbucks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I think The Original Donut Shop might be among the best of the K-cups (some of which can be downright undrinkable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodeats Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 My BIL has this system. The K-cups are usually on sale for order on the Friday Sale on Amazon.com. Coupled with their Subscribe and Save program, I am sure you can easily save a few bucks. Target sells the K-cup coffees but I have not checked on the price. I like Tully's Kona. It's pretty nice. You can also buy the make-your-own K-filter-cup and put your own grinds to brew. That might save some money rather than throwing all these cups in the trash (which bears the question: does anyone take the time to take the grinds out for compost and then recycle the cups?).

Sthitch Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Do you mean The Original Donut Shop? I agree that this might be the best of the K-cups (some of which can be downright undrinkable). After running this past my wife she confirms that you are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in DC Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi-- Does anyone have a recommendation as to which Keurig machine to buy? The B60 seems to be the ubiquitous one, but all of them get kind of crappy reviews for durability. Thanks! DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
