Or do I just use Community Coffee and make my own K-Cups (or CC K-cups themselves)

I did get a box of Junior Mints hot chocolate. Sounds pretty good.

If you have to use a Keurig, your best bet is to make your own K-Cups with coffee you like.

I understand the ease of use if you are on the go, but do yourself a favor and buy a cheap french press and use it when you have the time.

Keurig was a wasted space on our wedding registry. We gave it away after 6 months and got a french press and a kettle. So much better coffee.

Not sorry. If you like coffee, it's a useless product that takes up counter space.

keurig makes a terrible cup of coffee. I believe it's because the water doesn't sit in the coffee long enough. but, that's just my opinion.

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

You'll need one of these to get around the ink reader.

I love all the folks finally coming around to the fact that Keurig is one of the biggest ripoffs in retail.

You're right about it not getting really hot. The best coffees I ever had were never boiling hot.

The optimal temp should be between 195 and 205 F, 212 and you will burn the coffee.
