Just got one yesterday, coffee seems so-so. If you choose the large cup button, is the coffee more watery or does the machine use a proportionate amount of coffee/water based on small-med-large cup selection?

What's your favorite coffee?

i don't have one. but everyone that i know that does have one suggest getting the reusable filter so you don't have to buy a ton of the cups.

I have one and I don't like it at all. the coffee is not the right "ratio" for me.

Well I pretty much already know how this thread will end. Good luck though.

I like the Emeril's k-cups.

The K cup is prefilled--if you press the bigger cup button, you're just getting more coffee run through the same amount of grounds. The amount of grounds is fixed; all the machine does is puncture the cup and send water through it.

We have Community K-cups at work; it allows you to offer a variety of beverages with little fuss. I drink the coffee & chicory New Orleans blend with a little milk; it tastes the same as NO blend brewed any other way. When drinking it black, I usually go with the Cafe Special blend.

In non-Community, I like the Starbucks Italian k cup better than most others I've tried.

I use the medium option bc the large tends to taste too weak

It's convenient, but I'm not all that impressed with it

Wife loves it though, and I bought it for her anyway

this. i keep one in my office for a quick cup of coffee, with minimal effort and cleanup. But I don't think it produces a great cup of coffee. simply adequate.

I got one as a present and it does fulfill a nice niche, the "I just want one cup and no one else wants any" need. I generally fill the reusable with 12 grams of CC dark, the K-cup has 9 grams, so I get a richer cup.

I like the one with no resevoir because I can control the amount of water and the strength. This has become a money saver because we don't throw away a so much.

Ok thats about my first impressions. Drinkable and very fast/convenient. Not like a fresh brewed pot but it will definitely do fine.

Any of you tea drinkers?

Yes, but I dislike the tea pods for k-cup machines. I use the hot water dispenser on our water cooler and a tea ball/cup. I'm drinking my way through a tin of Mariage Freres Pleine Lune: LINK

Gotta have my one cup in the morning and that's it for me...Starbucks Breakfast Blend k cups satisfy my coffee taste...I like the ease of use and no mess that the Kuerig offers.

We have one of those fancy Delonghi coffee/expresso machines that Aubrey uses for her coffee. I'm just not into coffee like she is.

I like a lot of the Green Mountain Coffee blends.

Dark Magic, Sumatran Blend, and Nantucket Blend are my favorites.

I have one at home and the office.

The Starbucks brand makes a decent cup of coffee that isn't watery. Same with the Paul Newman brand.

It has its haters on here because some are obsessed with the way others enjoy morning coffee, but I enjoy mine.

I have one. I have the S-M-L choice of cups also. Larger cup will be weak. When I researched this issue I found that there are k-cups they sell that are labeled "Extra Bold". This means there is more coffee in the k-cup. I just bought the Donut Shop Extra Bold last week. I noticed a difference for sure. Will buy "extra bold" k-cups from here on out.

I've said this before but will say it again - the starbucks via instant coffee packs are really good. Much better than the kcups and works great with the kuerig products.
