Ghee Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I've waffled about a Keurig for a while. I think all the back and forthing on the stolen kcup thread pushed me into the "yes" mindset :tongue_smilie: I've decided to explore the world of kcup coffee, and, possibly, increase the mountain of trash in my own little corner of the world ;) So, spill, what are your favorite kcups?

Excelsior! Academy Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Vermont blend. Donut house is okay. When we got ours we got a sampler box. Definitely worth it to try out popular flavors. They are too expensive to get stuck with a box of cups you don't care for. If you do I've heard somebody's inlaws are pretty fond of them. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandymom Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Donut House Chocolate Glazed Donut I also like Gloria Jean's Mudslide with a little sweetened condensed milk added...mmmmm :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandymom Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Did you do one of the samplers from Amazon? I've gotten two different samplers. One was not good at all, and one was by the seller "Crazy Cups", and it was really good. Very good variety and no almost expired k-cups.

Catwoman Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Donut House Chocolate Glazed Donut I'll second that one! :001_smile: I also love Donut House Cinnamon Roll. :001_wub: (Tell me more about the Gloria Jean's mudslide!!!) I like a lot of other flavors, too, but those are my favorites that I drink every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Where do you find these flavors? We usually get our k-cups from Walmart or kohls and I've never seen these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimom Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 We aren't coffee people at all, but reading the previous thread, I learned the k-cups make many other things besides coffee. My girls love hot chocolate in the winter and then we could keep some coffee on hand for the occasional guests! We've kept a little coffee maker here before, but then the coffee would be old by the time someone would visit, or I bought the wrong kind, wrong filter, etc. Sounds like I just justified a Keurig purchase :).

Lady Marmalade Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Gloria Jean's Butter Toffee and Caribou's Mahogany are my favorites. I've only seen them online though- we order them right from Keurig. The Green Mountain Wild Blueberry was a really surprising flavor. I like that one too- and I usually really dislike fruity coffees. This one tastes like you're having a good blueberry muffin with your cup of coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the hot chocolate K-Cups just aren't very good. I think we've tried them all, and much to our surprise the Swiss Miss are the best, but it's the best of a not very good lot. Fortunately, I have ANOTHER single-serving brewer called a Dolce Gusto. Makes THE BEST lattes, espressos and hot chocolate! You know I'm an addict when you see the THREE coffee making machines on my countertop (I have a regular pot, too)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeannie in NJ Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 my very favorte is German Chocolate Cake which I get from the Keurig website. Also all summer I have been drinking Donut Shop Coconut Mocha which I have been making into iced coffee with heavy cream. Yum . I get this flavor from Target.

Dolphin Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Green Mountain Dark Magic! I forgot about that one, I like that too! My Keurig is dying on me. Has this happened to anyone else? Less water is coming through and the temp is cooler. So I am getting smaller, colder cups of coffee. (We have cleaned it, descaled it, made sure the needle area isn't blocked etc...) How long do most peoples machine's last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.g. Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Green Mountain's Double Black Diamond. Yummy, esp. with real cream and sugar! It's unavailable locally; I have to buy online (amazon) and it's pricier than most other brands/flavors. I prefer Dark Magic, because it's readily available. But then, I usually buy regular coffee grounds these days and use my ekobrew cup. Pre-filled cups are for special occasions and really, really busy mornings.

Dinsfamily Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Kailua and Donut House Coconut Mocha. It's a tie...don't make me choose :D. Seriously, if you haven't tried the Kailua...DO IT! My dc love the hot chocolate. It is pretty rich so I water it down for them. Maybe they just have low expectations for hot cocoa. They just convinced me to buy apple cider kcups so we'll see how those are. And yes, it is still in the high 90's here in SA :tongue_smilie: Dh and I aren't really gadgety people but the Keurig was a nice Mother's Day gift to me. Anything to make momma happy in the morning.

FaithManor Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hmmm...we don't have a Keurig. But, my sil bought one for mil who doesn't like the cost and packaging of dealing with K-cups. So, one a regular day, she runs folgers through it. On special occasions, she breaks out the Tim Horton's breakfast blend. :D Of the two, Tim Horton's wins. :biggrinjester: Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandymom Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) My kids also use the Kurig for hot water for their instant oatmeal. Even my 6 year old can do it. Puts the water right in the bowl with the oatmeal. If you like hot chocolate, try Cafe Escapes Cafe Mocha k-cups. It has a little coffee in it I think, but it really just tastes like really good hot chocolate. I can't taste any coffee. I just bought those at the grocery store once when they were on sale, and now I always have my eye out for another sale. I personally like the Green Mountain Apple Cider, but I'm perfectly happy with just using the machine for a cup of hot water and adding one of those packets of instant cider too it as well. Not quite as good, but WAY cheaper. Edited August 26, 2012 by mandymom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I don't know all the flavours since I do not have a Keurig. BUt I do like the hot cocao I make at my moms with her's. She usually has a regular pot of coffee on too, so I make myself mochas :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long do most peoples machine's last. How old is your machine? We had this happen with ours a few weeks ago. DH called to talk to customer service, and they replaced our machine free of charge- but we were still under the one year warranty period.

LynnG in Arizona Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 After trying numerous sampler packs, my surprising favorite is Folger's Vanilla Biscotti. Fairly inexpensive and easy to find. My second favorite (and DH's favorite) is Jamaica Me Crazy. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
