Favorite k-cup

I just got a k10 not to long ago and really enjoy it. I usually only have one cup of coffee in the mornings, then one after lunch so the single serve option works out well for me.

I have enjoyed trying the different brands/flavors. So far my favorite is Harris Teeter French vanilla. Anyone else have some favorites?

    I tried a reusable one, but it didn't work to well. What brand refillable cup to you use?

    I found the secret was to leave a little more headspace from the fill-line than you think you need. Used it many times and have only had it be spilly and weird before I started putting a little less in. Even with less there's more grounds than in the disposable ones.

    Okay.. so this confuses me a bit. . There are dozens of CHEAP single cup (non-k-cup) coffee makers on the market . Why pony up $100 for a Keurig?. . I'm not being sarcastic. .I really am curious about this.

    Also, if you buy a sampler pack of k-cups or a few different boxes of your favorite flavors, you get this same benefit. This is what makes my Keurig worth the money: variety with no clean-up.

    don't mean to be a Debbie Downer but this concept of K-cup is irritating to me. Last year there was approximately 9 BILLION k-cups in our landfills! I'm sure this year it's even more due to the popularity of these things.

    I actually grind and French press daily and don't own a Keurig...lol. I just know these work because my friend has one we take on fishing trips and I bought the reusable ones because I hate the thought of throwing all the cups away. Especially when it's like 6-8 per day between the two of us. Plus it's an insanely lower cost if you just have to buy and grind beans.

    I agree with the above, but I guess the same argument could be made for yogurt cups, cottage cheese cups, pudding cups, protein bar wrappers, etc. I need to look into getting one of the reusable k-cup to use. I enjoy the convenience of just making one cup of coffee at a time, so using the reusable cup helps with cost, as well as waste.

    The things you mentioned are mostly recyclable. K cups are not. They make one cup then go in the trash.

    Personally, I stick to Kroger brand reusable K-Cup because it's cheaper than buying individual cups.

    That is very cool - hope those that use the regular ones switch over! I'm sure the company just responded to what consumers were asking for!

    Starbucks Verona K-cup - at work or when we travel and our hotel has a Keurig.

    I prefer to buy fresh beans and grind, I use a french press, it helps me to not have more than 1-2 cups. I find that if I drink coffee all day, I feel hungry and downhill I go. Plus I am a dairy-free flavored creamer user....to much sugar!!

    Tried the Kcups and couldn't get a decent brew out of them, and they cost so much. I grind and brew myself for less and better coffee. :) That said, the Pete's was 'ok' out of all the ones I tried.

    Baratza Vario grinder and Gaggia Classic espresso machine or Cuisinart slow brew drip.

    Bean wise, my favorite is the Lavazza Super Creme, but I am doing all kinds of new beans. The Caribou Coffee Mahogany is delish for espresso and drip! They do make it in a K Cup is anyone is interested and to get back on topic.
