Anyone have a keurig coffee maker?
Which model do you have and do you like it?
Re: Anyone have a keurig coffee maker?
I dont have one BUT I've had coffee from one on two different occasions.
My take--I wasn't crazy about the coffee taste.
-It seems like you HAVE to use their coffee.
-I didn't think I would like that hot water running through that cheap plastic container on a daily basis.
-What do you do for a crowd?
There are about 200 k-cup varieties that all taste very different. You can alter the strength by varying the volume of water. There is certainly no "one single coffee taste" you get by using a Keurig.
Not true. The concept is that you use k-cups manufactured specifically for Keurig brewers (hence the simplicity). You can, however, purchase a refillable insert and grind/use your own beans.
Do you even know at what stage of the brewing process the water gets heated? I've used "cheap plastic" oh wait $100-200 tea kettles and coffee makers for years and seem to be doing just fine.
It's a single serve coffee maker...
OP: Check out Amazon reviews and http://www.singleservecoffeeforums.com/
I have one and like it quite a bit. I don't drink much coffee so it's nice to be able to do one cup of coffee or tea at a time.
You can use any coffee you want, there's an insert that came with mine, you just put your grounds in it. I also put tea bags in it to make hot tea for me or ice for DH (I put a cup with ice under the spout, add sugar on top, and brew). I don't like my coffee brewed at a high temperature b/c I don't like it that hot and b/c it tastes bitter to me if brewed too hot and I've been pleased that I can adjust the temp on the keurig to get it like I want.
I have a B60 at home and a red single cup model in my office at work - I love them both. I love all the varieties of k-cups and have even made my own on occasion with the basket they sell (Starbucks doesnt' make k-cups). Several of my friends and family have purchased one since they spent time at my home and I purchased one after a host couple help our small group at church for several months. I found it quite convenient for guests as they can pick what they want - decaf, regular, dark roast, etc. I typically keep some type of variet pack on hand for company and then my favorites as well. I like it because unlike my last coffeemaker there are not 12 parts to clean each time you brew a pot (and my hubby doesn't drink it!).
