Flavored Kcups Question

Nana5 — Tue, 24 Jun 2014 02:51:03 GMT

DH hates flavored coffees. If I use a flavored Kcup will the flavor "contaminate" his next regular coffee Kcup? He thinks it will; I thought that was the idea of the Keurig to be able to brew a variety of flavors without cross-flavoring. TIA. We just got a Keurig and are learning how to use it.

No, the flavor won't effect his plain coffee.

I don't know if it does or not. Just in case, after I make a flavored coffee, I run it without a K Cup. Just water through it to rinse.

I love Cafe Escapes Cafe Caramel. Yummy!

Shouldn't be a problem.

OP, my family loves different varieties and one doesn't affect the other. Enjoy

My DH insists I run a small cup of water through after making coffee. He just uses water for tea and oatmeal and claims he can taste coffee if I don't. Probably depends how fussy your DH is.

I use my Kuerg to make hot water for after dinner tea immediately after my husband makes his coffee. Not even a hint of the coffee. I drink cinnamon flavored coffee in the morning, husband hates it, he never tastes it in the morning coffee he makes after mine.

We have a Keurig at work and I bought one for dh for home. He does not like flavored coffees but my kids and I do. I just asked him if he ever tasted a "flavor" in his plain coffee after one of us made a flavored coffee. His answer was "No, I have never tasted any type of flavoring." HTH

when you run it without a kcup a lot of times you will see little coffee grains in the cup of water

I always run water before I make tea you can take the kcup housing off and rinse it off because those little coffee grains can build up

We always run water after making any type of flavored tea,coffee,iced tea,cocoas,whatever. We find the taste of what came before can linger.

Same story at my house except DH loves the flavored coffees. I have never detected any residual flavor from his K cups...HTH.
