I am on my second one. When the first one went, I couldn't wait to get to town and get another one. After a lifetime of really lousy coffee, I finally can brew a perfect cup, time after time and I enjoy every one of them. I do have an eco-filter thingy too but don't like the coffee unless I use the little paper filters too, don't like sludge. You can buy the paper filters to go into the eco filter and it is worth the extra price and then you can use your regular ground coffee, which saves quite a bit, but the K cups are still my favorite.

Love, love, love our Keurig! DH and I like different flavors of coffee so the single cup format is great for us. I also love the Swiss Miss hot chocolate. In fact, think I may just make myself a cup right now!

DH got one for his birthday yesterday. We got the keurig,instead of the Tassimo, because they have Starbucks brand coffee. So far he is loving it, but drinking lots and lots of coffee. We will see if he sleeps tonight.
DD wants to try hot chocolate with it.
I am a tea snob and will not be using it for tea.

We have the reusable cup and use our own coffee, and love it, We do do regrind and I am an avid coffee drinker, and it makes a GREAT cup of coffee every time. I have another machine called Flavia Fusion and it takes pouches. i get creamy topping for cappuccino and make it to go on top of my coffee,Wonderful. We drink coffee all day and i make one big 12 cup pot in the mornings and put the reserve in a thermos pot so it stays hot and does not get strong on the burner,LOVE MY COFFEE

We got a Keurig about a month ago at Costco and got a rebate. Since DH can only use decaf this works great for us and I can get my reg. coffee. We are both one or two cups a day so this is much less wasteful. We were always throwing away half a pot or more. When we have company I use the regular coffee maker because it does figure out to quite expensive per cup.

I have the Breville model.it has a filter for the water which removes the chlorine. I love mine. For a year I was buying the k-cups, but at forty dollars a month was getting expensive. I've started using my Folgers, using one scoop for a large cup, and actually prefer that over the k-cups. I agree, it comes down to finding the right grounds to water ratio to please your buds. I don't think I'll own any other coffee pot again. Love mine!!!
