I love my Kuerig.. Last night I tried a new K-cup called Hot Apple Cider. It was so good! And I normally don't care for apple cider.

Do you have a favorite K-cup that you'd recommend to friends? One that's not too high in calories?

Thank you :)

    Hate to be a downer - but I really can't believe this whole 'individual portion' coffee thing took off in the first place - there is SO much packaging that is now being added to the garbage bin (landfills) every day now. Just what we need!
    Anyone else not like the system?

    My wife likes the convenience. A good marketing tool to sell coffee systems. Personally I use a cone filter and grind my beans, that will never chance regardless of the chrome,digital glam and designer colors they come up with. Consumerism on a high level..

    I usually make my coffee with the Kuerig. But I don't use K-cups for that. Instead just a filter, and coffee beans.

    But I do love the specialty k-cups that are out there. I was hoping Simone tried another good flavor to share :)

    I can`t drink the coffee from Kuerig , I taste the plastic from the kcups :( I have my senseo machine and love how I get the coffee with a nice foam on top :) Of course they can no longer sell the pods in stores so I have to purchase them online .

    I have never considered a Keurig or whatever because the amount of non-recyclable packaging is an environmental dumpster fire. Horrible use of resources.

    However, they now make reusable K-cups. (https://www.google.com/search?q=reusable+k+cups&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:IE-Address&ie=&oe=#q=reusable+k+cups&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:IE-Address&tbm=shop) Those have me a little bit curious. I love my thermal carafe coffee maker, but if it ever dies, I may look into these.

    We have a Keurig and we love it. Sometimes we purchase the k-cups, but we also have the My K-cup so that we can use our own coffee. Personally, I'm in love with HEB's Cafe Ole Texas Pecan at the moment.

    although i do use reg. coffee in my K machine sometime, my favorite K-cup is Chai Latte and my 2nd fave is Cafe Vanilla. I also use chilled Cafe vanilla in my iced chocolate protein drink.

    I don't drink coffee and rarely drink tea, so apple cider K-cup is great for me. It's good.

    I use the ekobrew. It saves me a ton of $$, let's me put in any coffee that I like (I hate being limited), and keeps extra waste out of landfills!

    My current fave is caramel macchiatto. Yum.

    Much to the dismay of others above, I love my keurig and use it everyday at work in the afternoon. I have my favorites, for sure:

    Kahlua is amazing if you like sweet coffee
    Green Mountain WIld Blueberry is my absolute fav (but it's seasonal)
    Green Mountain Southern Pecan, Caramel Vanilla Cream, Mocha Nut Fudge & Pumpkin Spice!

    I use the Starbucks 1971 blend most offen for regular coffee, but I love the dark chocolate hot cocoa too. I do have the my k-cup, and use different flavored coffees or loose teas with that. For me, the Keurig makes sense, since I live alone & it would be a waste to brew a pot of coffee if I am only going to drink a cup or two

    I drink one cup of coffee a day, two at the most. Making a whole pot was more wasteful to me.

    My favorite K-cup is Folgers Foglifter.

    The Apple Cider is so good. Coffee wise I love the French Roast.

    yeah, it's called "my k-cup".. i use regular k-cups rarely as they are so much extra plastic, and very expensive.. I got the my k-cup with my keurig and use it all the time. I use President's Choice "Great Canadian" Coffee most of the time. Also "death wish coffee" sometimes...

    I've been wanting to try the Wild Blueberry, but am a little cautious about the blueberry flavor of coffee. Can you describe the flavor to me?
