re: Do you prefer the taste of the drop coffee maker or a Keurig?

K cups do a great job for what you ask them to do, make one cup of coffee with little mess, as fast as you possibly can.

I completely agree that a nice full bodied drip coffee beats K cups every day and twice on Sunday.

I have a 2 year old and a 9 month old. I barely have time to shite In the morning much less make a cup of drip coffee.

I have young kids. If you are making more than one cup a drip wins all day everyday. Flavor and convenience. Had both. It isn't that hard to make a two cups for wife and myself and clean equipment.

If making one cup keurig wins on convenience alone.

Have you tried a blind taste test? I feel this is the only solution.

I have a Keirig in my office, and one at the house. If you buy the right types of k-cups, it can make a decent cup of coffee. At the house, I use a French press.

Overall, my favorite k-cups are the French Market Restaurant Blend and Emeril's bold/dark roast (don't remember the exact name).

Mon-Fri it is K cups in the Keurig for me (Bob Marley brand). On the weekend, it is my grandpas old press he handed down to me.

Y'all are buying the wrong k cups

Starbucks cafe Verona is as strong as any drip

Nespresso Vertuoline.

Depends on the coffee you buy. Dunking Dounuts sucks but Paul Newman Organic and Starbucks Pikes Place is good.

Boiling hot water into thin plastic, that's the reason I won't own a Kuerig.

Comminity thru my drip maker is pretty awesome. I rotate to another brand every so often just to keep the Community tasting great. I find if it's all I drink, my taste buds get desensitized to it.

Once lived with a coffee snob fanatic back in Washington DC days. She was from Seattle and had fancy coffee shipped-in from all over. Yet she would secretly sneak my $5 grocery store Community all the time. It's just plain good.

I feel like the keurig is a weaker cup. I appreciate the convenience, but I've since moved on to a drip machine that can do variable sizes.

this is what i don't get. I never really had a problem with making single servings or two/three cups in a drip maker.

all it takes is a few minutes on google and little kitchen math to get right about of coffee to water.

At home, I am all french press or cold brew. I am not above a gas station or work coffee but when I can, I avoid it.

I think if you go the pod route, you should go with a nespresso.
