    We have one as well. I only use it to make hot water for my tea, which I drink plain so it actually helps me with my weight loss.

    We have a large Keurig at home, and I have a single cup version for work. I will buy k-cups for the flavored coffees, but as a whole we use a Solofill cup as a reusable filter for our own ground coffee. I will also use the hot water alone for my teas as well.

    The funny thing is my husband was a "grumbling" convert. He loved his old coffee pot. One day I picked him up an inexpensive little coffee pot so he can make a full pot when he gets up at the buttcrack of dawn - he used it. Once.

    Then when our Keurig started having problems (it was about 18 months old and used HEAVILY), I called the company, ran through the trouble steps. It was out of warranty but they replaced it free anyway and I didn't even have to complain LOL! (yay).

    O-M-G did my husband WHINE the whole time we had to use the "regular" coffee pot. He kept asking "did they ship it yet?" LOL!!!

    I just received one for Christmas. By far my favorite object EVER! I only ever drink water or coffee black with sweetener. I'm so in love. I so need to stop buying K cups, lol.

    The hot chocolate issue is due to a clogged part in the machine (forgot what it is called). Usually all you have to do to fix it is clean that piece out and it is good to go. So, if your machine starts having trouble, google it. I know I found a ton of information on how to fix it while doing research before I purchased it.

    I got mom one for Christmas. I usually just drink hot tea, but mom likes the flavored coffees and the like with it. I figure I will use some of the flavored stuff when I want to, limit it to one per day, and only when I have the extra calories. It would be a treat and not an everyday thing for me.

    If you register it on their keurig site, you can get 2 free boxes of coffee when you order two! I paid $36 for 4 boxes of 24 count boxes! I love mine!!! Going to get the resuable filter next. :drinker:

    I love mine and I love the club too, most times I only drink one cup and day and I can cut back on orders that way too. I need go to Dunkin Doughnuts and pick up a few boxes of thier K-cups!!

    I have a Keurig too! Pretty popular. I really like mine. I drink my coffee black, so no added calories there. I do like their hot chocolate and have some occasionally-I just log it in my calories as a snack. They are pretty calorie dense though at like 120 cals for 1 cup, so maybe after I'm out of the ones I have I will buy the lower calorie hot chocolate packs like someone on here was saying they use.

    I wanted one of these but stopped myself because i wasn't sure how it works! does it have to be hooked into a water line or is it something you just put water in like the regular coffee pot? I'm not huge on hot chocolate but LOVE LOVE coffee & green tea!!

    IS THIS FOR ME?

    YES! It will change your coffee-drinking life! If you get one with a water reservoir, it only needs to be filled every 5-6 times you brew a cup of coffee.

    Definitely. Mine has a tank that holds water (manual says you're supposed to use filtered so we fill it from our Brita pitcher in the fridge). No water line needed.

    Whats not to like. Fresh coffee in about 30 seconds. Fresh being the keyword. Emerils Big Easy Bold, Donut shop so many incredible coffee choices

    I Opted out due to cost. The K cups here are 11 bux per 18ct. Folgers is 8 bux for 240. Its was an easy decision.

    This is one of the reasons I love the board. I have hot chocolate k cups and have not been able to use them. I haven't been able to figure out why. This topic is the first time I've read anyone else even having the same problem.

    I bought my daughter a Keurig for Christmas in 2010. We tried it and I liked it so much I went and bought me one. I make a cup or two every morning and occasionaly in the evening. I usually use my regular coffee in the MY K-Cup with Truvia and cream but there are several k-cups that I like to drink black.

    Learn to love black coffee and tea without sugar and cream and you don't need to limit anything! :D I even enjoy drinking hot water sometimes. Just run it dry and enjoy! :D

    For those worried about the hot chocolate ruining the brewer: if you brew certain cups (incl hot chocolate) you're supposed to run a cleansing brew after use (a cycle with just it water and no k cup) in order to cleanse the stream. I think there's a line about it the owners manual that would tell you when else to do it.

    Which favors are the strongest as far as not requiring a lot of creamer? I heard German chocolate cake is great?

    I've had one for awhile now. It's a wonderful thing, isn't it? I usually have 2 cups a coffee during the week and 3 on the weekend. I'm the only coffee drinker in my house, so this is heaven for me.

    I:heart: mine. Unfortunatly since I've been unemployed there is no justification for the cost of those k-cups. But that's okay since I'm trying to break myself of the flavored coffee creamer habit. :drinker:

    I'm so glad Wal-Mart sells K cups now! Bed, Bath and Beyond usually has them for $10.99 a box.
