    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.

    OMG yes those are delish! The smell makes everyone else envious too, hahaha! :tongue:

    I can't wait to take this list to the store! Thank you so much!

    I will also have to research the calories for each... Hopefully they are on the low side. My apple cider was 80 calories.. Seemed high!

    I don't use keurig system to many reports of them breaking down, also I like latte & cappuccinos made with real milk not powered, also I like espressos, cremas, so I use a Tassimo system. My faves are Gevalia swiss hazelnut, Gelvalia Dark Italain roast, Gelavalia crema, Tim Hortons, Latte, Twinnings Chia Latte, and Carte Noire signature Exclusif taste just like your sitting at outside street café in Paris.

    Most of the coffee ones are just 2 calories (regular coffee calories). If there is a nutrition label on the box that's your sign they are higher calories.

    I'd say 90% of the coffee ones I have are the regular coffee calories (2) - but I do have a few that are 60-90 calorie range. I try not to buy the ones with more calories but sometimes buying online I don't realize I'm buying ones with more calories.

    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?

    I love mine..and you don't have to buy the cups with so much "Plastic". The ones I use now have very little plastic as the bottom is a coffee filter.

    As well they can be recycled.....coffee in the compost, plastic in the bin...not that hard.

    My favorite so far has been the donut house coffee..I am not one for many flavours tho...oh or my kcup with nice freshly ground coffee beans...

    I hate undated articles. Many modern recycling plants have done away with the plastic rating system. If it's plastic, it can be recycled.

    If you go to the Keurig website, they have many flavors in sample packs you can get for around $3 to try out. That way if you end up not liking a flavor, you don't end up with a whole box that you don't want.

    I like the Green Mountain Caramel Vanilla Cream, Folgers Caramel Drizzle, Green Mountain French Vanilla, Van Houtte Butterscotch, Timothy's Cinnamon Pastry, Van Houtte Apple Caramel Pie Coffee and with the MyKCup we use Maple Bacon Coffee. Enjoy!

    I love k-cups, I feel a little bad about the waste but my husband HATES the smell of coffee and this is our happy medium. I can make it when hes not home and then throw the empty k-cup in a ziploc and he never has to smell it and I have quit wasting money at Starbucks.

    I like chai tea, apple cider, green mountain breakfast blend, donut shop coconut mocha and Gevalia

    My absolute favorite Kcup is Green Mountain Sumatran Reserve (I like dark roasts, and it's way better than the Starbucks dark roasts). Dark Magic is also good.

    I'm going to check out the reusable Kcups, I would love to use my own coffee!

    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 :)

    This is funny because I just discovered the apple cider k cups yesterday and I was thinking about posting a thread on them :laugh: The ones I got are spiced cider and they are 10 calories each. We have an amazing k cup store near by that sells over 200 varieties individually so you can mix and match whatever you like, I think I have tried all the flavored coffees and teas now. My favorites are vanilla chai tea, blueberry lemon tea and chocolate coconut coffee. I don't drink a lot of coffee, usually one in the morning. I do love my tea though!
    Btw, for anyone in Canada with a Bulk Barn near by, the apple cider and hot chocolate k cups are $9.99 for an 18 pk minus the $3 Bulk Barn coupon. That is the cheapest deal I have found :wink:
