Any Keurig owners out there?

[huh]

I like my coffee strong my husband doesnt care so I buy extra bold k cups or extra dark whatever...and run it through small cup setting give myself the first strong cup and then run it again and he gets the milder version..

Have only gone through the middle setting, not the smaller/larger. Perhaps I'll give it a shot. Picked up some hazelnut Green Mountain today for a little switch up. A lot of flavored coffee can be so cloying, but it's nice for a change sometimes. Wish the stores would carry more variety packs. I know you can get em online, but it's far more convenient.

Walmart sells their own brand of "k cups" . They are def less expensive... but I didnt really like it ..it tasted too.. weak? for me.

I've considered getting a Keurig for the house, but I don't know if I can justify the cost of the machine plus the K cups. I do like the idea of having different coffees, often.

It is definitely more expensive, you can make a whole pot for the cost of one cup but the convenience is where it is at. We were wasting a lot of coffee and the ability to make one cup and run is a big time saver.

Fully agree. I make my cup at ~5am. The wife has her's usually around 8am. When I made a partial pot, it would just sit there cooking. Fortunately she puts plenty of sugar and milk in hers.
It certainly is pricier even though I got my coffee in whole bean at Whole Foods (think it's up to about $13 for 2# which is actually pretty good).
Outside of price is just the environmental impact of all the waste.
I'll look into getting on of those reusable K-cups and give it a shot.
