Where do you buy your K-Cups?

[Buck]

I just bought a 10 pack of Starbucks French Roast and a 10 pack of Tazo Black Tea for $10 each at the grocery store. I thought to myself that maybe online was cheaper. I checked Amazon and they were $14.39 for the tea and $18.55 for the coffee.

Is there a site that specializes in selling these, or do you have any recommendations on good brands you can buy online that cost less? Thanks.

[Psyko Tek]

no, but miller high life is 19.95 a 30 pack at walmart

[Simply Red]

Whole Foods. Oddly Department Stores such as Macys carries them, also.

that's not bad, my girlfriend is into coffee heavily. I just seem to remember her struggling even finding any. Seems she found at Whole Foods, I could be wrong there. But I do remember Macy's had them.

Coffee is decent
Have a choice 80 Newmans Special blend Extra bold - or Caribou Blend

we went with the Caribou

We also have the use your own coffee Kcup thing that lets us put the cheap shit in when we're broke

Samsclub online seems to have a few more items too

[Buck]

For the record, this is the first time I'm drinking tea from a K-Cup and I'm not a fan. When I usually brew my coffee, I leave the shake (lol weed term) in the ball in the cup for a long time. It pretty much tastes like water to me right now.

Tea from K cups is terrible. And I've given up rebrewing a coffee K-cup after 1 cup unless my mooch friends want some. Its expensive but I can't stand watered down coffee.

[Stanley Nickels]

eBay... 16 BOXES, ends up being about $0.55/cup.

The refillable ones are hit-or-miss. We use the EkoBrew, and it's awesome. Previously, we had one from Target and it was awful.

[headsnap]

We joined coffee club at http://www.greenmountaincoffee.com

with the $2.50 discount, it comes to $.58 a cup and they are delivered right to your door!!!

[Saulbadguy]

I try to get it around 55-60 cents a cup.

[kstater]

I try to get it around 55-60 cents a cup.Yup, and generally it's the Keurig website that gets it to that price, shipped, with discount. Was at Dirty Don's in Raytown the other day and they had Boxes of 12 for 2.50. Bought a couple cases. Not my favorite style, but at .23 it's good enough.

[kc rush]

I like the Emeril's Extra Bold and can only seem to find it at Bed Bath & Beyond. The online options aren't a much better price especially when you use a BB&B coupon, so we just buy it at the store.

I've tried the make your own basket using some Roasterie coffee, but I could never get it to taste right.

Be careful with that. You'll build up an immunity to caffeine and it will no longer work. Not for appetite and not for wakefulness.

I drink 3-4 Bing energy drinks and 10-12 shots of espresso a day and it does virtually nothing for me except make me want more caffeine.

I checked out one of your links:

Please note: 'regular', 'bold' and 'extra bold' refer to the amount of coffee in the K-Cup

I think we all realize that K-cups do not offer "superior" flavor. They are for convenience.

[htismaqe]

I think we all realize that K-cups do not offer "superior" flavor. They are for convenience.

Even then, the flavor can be altered by altering the roast.

Instead, they're altering the volume of coffee per cup.

Just like WV said, Tully's Kona is only 10% Kona. The rest of it is cheap standard blend to fill up space.

Convenience is easy, just mix up some Folgers.

Are you implying that the roast is never varied among different brands of K-Cups? I find that hard to believe.

[htismaqe]

Are you implying that the roast is never varied among different brands of K-Cups? I find that hard to believe.

Obviously it is. That's why WV pointed out two different brands of Kona cups. Guess which one is cheaper?

The simple truth of the matter is that different roasts have different flavor qualities. There'd be no need for a disclaimer that "mild, bold, and extra bold" indicate the amount of coffee in the cup. Unless you're blending it with cheap coffee to increase volume.

That's just plain watering it down.

Do you cut your coke with aspirin too? ;)

are these k-cups worth the investment? It looks like a k-cup maker costs at least $150 and the cups look kinda expensive too. Is it actually worth it? I'm too lazy to clean my coffee maker and it has that aftertaste now but I broke the carafe anyways. I've been using a little plastic thing that you put the filter and coffee in and then pour hot water over it, it's actually a better cup of joe than mr. coffee. I might get a french press now, but I am curious about these k-cups.

I wake up, walk to my Keurig, plug it in and turn it on. It takes 2 minutes to heat up and then you have your coffee within 30 seconds.

Not worth it. These kind of units started in the airline industry years ago. Keurig marketed them to consumers and they've been a huge marketing success.

Buy a quality drip coffee maker and use quality coffee and you'll save a bundle over this trend.

Depends on what you're looking for. It's not the cheapest cup of coffee for sure.

What it does provide is convenience and variety.

Rarely do my wife and I drink more than 1 cup in a sitting so its a perfect solution. And if we don't want the same thing, not a problem.

I do think the price could go down as the popularity grows.

When the resevoir gets limey, I throgh the friggin thing away and buy a new one.

Ive had Bunns for the last 12 years. and I have to use Bunn filters because they are the only filters that can keep the grinds from over flowing in that machine. 3 minute pot of coffee, you cant beat it. and I have no problem with my water.

I use this (http://www.eightoclock.com/) coffee. and grind them beans fresh.

No joke. I've got a coffee maker that cost $8 at Walmart six years ago. The pot is nice and brown now; just about broken in. And filters cost...what? Three bucks for half a million?

[kysirsoze]

Keurigs are nice when you want a cup of coffee, but not a whole pot. If I just want one cup, I usually don't make the effort to brew 1/4 of a pot or something. Also, if I make a whole pot, I'll end up drinking WAY too much coffee.

[Fish]

I agree. I'm shocked at how much some people spend on coffee. I love good coffee, and drink it nearly every day. But I never ever spend more than $10 every month or two(drip maker/coffee/filters). I work with idiots that get coffee at Starbucks every single day. At $3-5 a pop, that's well over $100/month on coffee. Insane.
