    as far as I can figure the coffee costs about 8 times as much in K-cups as buying it the regular way.

    I have one. It's out in the shed. I hate it because the coffee is way too strong for me.
    I'll sell you mine.

    I have a small one for work and love it. I bought the solo filter and put my own coffee in it, much cheaper and tastes just as good, I think so anyway. I do love the Donut Shop coffee though so I treat myself every once in a while.

    We bought one last year and love it! It is the smaller one and works just great for us. Before we got it, we would waste a pot of coffee every day it seemed.

    I got DH a re-usable filter from Amazon. The one that came with it wasn't very good. He makes regular and flavored coffee with it. I prefer Emeril's brand, I love strong coffee. I brew the small cup twice and get a perfect amount for my travel mug. DD loves vanilla so I keep it for her.

    We are quite spoiled by it and would definitely buy another if something happened to this one.

    DH bought it for me as a gift and I love it. I am the only coffee/tea drinker so I make myself a cup more often because it is single serve. I purchase their Kcups and locally roasted beans that go into the filter thing. Great for small dinner parties, but use an urn when I have large gatherings.

    We have one at work; everyone raves about it. I did try a cup of coffee once from it, I have a 10 oz cup, ... should've made a 8 oz. it was weak tasting( or maybe I like mine strong..) My only real problem is I was told the cups aren't recycle-able. That's a big no-no. 30 women x 2-3 cups a day x 5 days... that's a lot of trash. If only we could talk everyone into using the re-useable inserts & buy ground coffee.. :)

    I love my Keurig. Now I make coffee one cup at a time, and it never gets bitter sitting in the pot. I grind my own beans each morning--enough for 4 cups--and use the U-Fill-It cup that came with the machine until 4 cups of decafe are brewed. Then I switch to the K-Cups that I get 80 to the box from Costco.

    And those are a pleasure to use.

    I'm really stoked on the company. It's here in Vermont with publicly traded stock that's up over 300% this year. That will buy a lot of fabric! :-)

    What was the brand name on the one you got on Amazon? Do you remember? I am using the one that came with the machine and it just seems like the flavor isn't coming all the way through.
