re: I just entered the world of Keurig - Any must haves?

To answer the question, if you like bolder coffee, Black Tiger and Double Diamond are my go to.

The peculiar thing is the way people on this board vehemently defend a subpar product like keurig

Just as peculiar are those who vehemently dislike them, yet enter a thread to not answer the question of the OP.

R2R, it's not an "inferior" product. It's a good product that doesn't suit the tastes of many people.

There are millions of people who don't care about your or my definition of "good" coffee. They want a quick cup for caffeine. They load it with cream and/or sugar and go about their day not wringing their hands about how good or bad it was.

Actually, if one is putting cream and/or sugar in coffee, I am not paying much attention to the opinion because you aren't even tasting the coffee.

Anyway

As I sit here drinking the coffee I made in my french press, I can see my Keurig as well. And I like having it very much.

Despite what people say, the time and effort of the FP from start to cleanup is not comparable to the Keurig.

When I have time, or am working from home and going to have a couple of cups I will use the FP. Ironically, the second cup is not going to be hot at all, so reheating is necessary.

When I am on the go, the Keurig is perfect. I can also pop a decaf in there in the afternoon, or a flavored one (which I hate) for a guest.

We have a new one at the office that makes several sizes and includes a "strong" setting. If an 8 oz. cup set on the strong setting isn't bold enough for you, you likely won't find a cup you like outside your own home.
