I've had good experiences with the Keurig.com site--the shipping is reasonably fast and you can usually get some sort of discount--but lately I've gotten in the habit of picking up a box or two at a time from the local grocer when they have a medium-roast coffee on sale, especially Arabica coffees from Colombia. A reliable and not too pricey brand is Eight O'Clock's Colombian. Peet's Cafe Domingo is a blend of Central and South American coffees and nice. Folger's Colombian is also good. These are all nice and straightforward coffees. I'm not sure it matters or not, but I try not to order too much at once because I drink it infrequently enough that it can get close or past the expiration date.
I don't care about the cost of a K-cup being higher. It's not much higher and it saves me time cleaning grinders and coffee pots and the like.
I also keep some hot cocoa and tea on hand for guests. Twining's k-cups are nice.
one last thing, the Keurig.com site will let you buy "sample" boxes that have 5 K-cups in them...those are pretty nice for trying something to see if you like it and also to make it so that the total cost of an order exceeds some minimum threshold, for coupons and the like
