    Default Anyone use a Keurig coffee machine?

    Sam's Club had a special price on a Keurig so I bought one to try it out. DH said why would you want a coffee pot that only made one cup at a time? I said well we'll see how it does. He now loves this thing. LOL. He was surprised at the many types of coffee there was to brew. He finds new ones to try every at every store visit even his old favorite Folgers. The machine came with the use your own coffee in the Kcup instead of the ready filled cups but so far we haven't used it. If you are thinking of getting the one cup coffee machine and love coffee, it is really worth it.

    I've had one for about a year and I love it. I use each little K-cup twice and it still tastes good to me.

    I've had one for 1.5 years and love it, so much I bought the smaller one to use in the RV too! The big one in the house started acting up after 11 months and Keurig sent a new one. No hassle. They have great customer service.

    We have one and we LOVE it. We got it from QVC. I will warn you that MANY people have problems with their machine after a short time. The one we are using now was the replacement one that was sent to us from the company when the first one stopped working.

    In fact, I think today QVC has a Keurig as their Today Special
    Value.http://www.qvc.com/webapp/wcs/stores...atalogId=10151

    We will always have one of these machines because it makes a PERFECT cup of coffee each time!! The K-cups are expensive but we think they are worth it. We like the dark brew decaf and buy that at our local grocery store.

    I love mine. With the "make it yourself" cup, you have to find the balance for what you like. I don't like strong coffee so I adjust how much I put in it. Just like for most coffees, I use a large cup and hit the large cup button twice to make each cup of coffee. I don't like any of the bolder coffees because nothing makes them right for me. I've had my machine for around 2yrs and would get another one in a heart beat if it breaks. I also like the large variety of coffee available out there for it.

    My friend said to get a perfectly brewed cup of coffee from the reusable cup, you need to regrind regular coffee into almost a powder grind. I think I'll pass on using my own coffee unless I have to.

    Here in Oregon we have a coffee brand called Tully's. It regular grind is almost a powder form. Their Espresso is wonderful, quite the kick.......

    I don't drink much coffee but my daughter has one and loves it. She's a nurse so doesn't work everyday. On her days off she likes the ability to have just one cup when're she wants.

    I'm on my second Keurig...the first one went bonkers and the company sent me another...now this one, too, is bonkers...I just tried to use it and all I got was thirty drops of COLD water when I turned it on. So, in the morning, I will call the good folks again...this one's only five months old...it's a good thing the warranty starts all over again when you have to get a new one! But...it DOES make good coffee!

    The great thing about the kurig is that you can use your own coffee in a cup you can buy for a few dollars!
