    Coffee pods. They are getting harder to find because of K-Cups but the pre-made pods are biodegradable and I use them in my compost. My Mom loves hazelnut coffee and I like plain so I am able to customize breakfast. Also there is a company that now makes K-Cups which are 97% biodegradable. You can also find a machine that lets you make your own pods from scratch.

    I love the regular Donut House one and the Golden French Toast (seasonal and out now!) is AWESOME.

    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 have a Senseo at home and LOVE the foamy top it gives but I drink most of my coffee at work and I LOVE LOVE the Green Mountain Pumpkin Spice!
    For a regular ol' cup I prefer the Columbian Fair Trade Select with my international delight pumpkin pie spice creamers

    I love my keurig, BUT I use re-useable filters so that I minimize the waste. My favorite coffee to use in them is Tim Hortons Fine ground Medium roast, Organic Irish Cream and German Chocolate cake!

    Wait, what's wasteful about a K-cup? Take the lid off, dump out the used grounds, recycle. It's no different from any other plastic/aluminum/tin food storage container.

    Where I live, K-Cups aren't recycleable. They go into the landfill.

    I love Donut Shop. It's better than the Dunkin K-cups. Also love the Pumpkin Spice and the Caramel Vanilla Cream. I also use the My K-cup for regular coffee.

    I love my Keurig!

    I like the bold, strong ones. Emeril's Big Easy, Black Magic, Obsidian, Jet Fuel. Peete's have a good french roast too that I just found. My kids will drink the apple cider or hot chocolate. Plus, they can just stick the pod in and make it themselves - no need to ask Daddy for help!

    I haven't used my Keurig in months. It started acting up and not brewing a full cup or a weak cup.

    but bank when it was awseome, I really liked the Kona Blend and Texas Pecan.
    2 suggestions, as I had the same problem. First is to check the reservoir, in my case, build up actually blocked the opening, so not enough water was going from the reservoir to the machine. Taking the reservoir apart and flushing it out worked for me.

    If that doesn't work, did you try descaling it? Dump vinegar in the reservoir, let it run into the machine and sit for a couple hours; then run it empty to get the vinegar out. Rinse with water.

    I thought I was gonna have to replace mine, but it's worked perfectly ever since I took apart and flushed the reservoir.

    Coffee People's Black Tiger is my favorite dark roast. I might be biased, though.

    Butter Toffee. But my daily is Donut Shop, I use one a day. I did however get some ground coffee for Christmas and have been using the keurig filter with that in it for the past week. Another great way to use the keurig is for hot water for my green tea or hot cocoa.

    My favorite daily kcup is Donut Shop by Coffee People, it is a medium roast. I use International Delight Hershey's Chocolate and Caramel Coffee Creamer... My goto every morning.... And for those with machines only brewing half cups and whatnot, descaling should solve that issue but we had a Keurig that quit on us after 4 years (descaling did not work) and we took it back to Kohl's (where we originally purchased it) without the receipt or box (she pulled it up on our account history that we did indeed purchase it there) and told her the problem (not brewing full cups when selected) and she told us to go get one off the shelf and she exchanged it free of charge.... I also have more localized brands of coffee I like sometimes so I will use the MyCup and brew my own brands also....

    I bought the reusable filter for $15 and just buy a huge bag of coffee and put in an air tight canister. No extra plastic waste, cost is cheaper and the coffee last longer, then the Kcups.

    ETA: I buy Seattle's Best Level 5!!

    I prefer the Dark Magic, but right now I'm sipping on a Pumpkin Spice Green Mtn I got on sale at Target. I paid with cash. It's not the best cup of coffee (I prefer a french press or my Bialetti on Sunday morning), but it's damn convenient.

    I prefer the K-cups with mesh packaging (ex. Wide Awake Coffee). They seem to brew a stronger cup of coffee than the plastic K-cups.

    I've had some trouble with Keurig machines as well. They seem to last 1.5 - 2 years before they die. I'm on my 3rd one.

    My fave is the Folgers Vanilla Biscotti kcup. Yummy! And only 2ish cals.

    I also have the reusable kcup to brew any kind of coffee.

    I'm surprised more people don't use a french press. I love mine. No electricity needed, no waste besides grounds, brews a great single cup.

    My husband and I like Gloria Jean's Macadamia nut cookie. My husband is NOT a coffee drinker, this is the only coffee that he has found that he actually likes.
