Today I brought some whole coffee beans and grounded them up in my vitamix, then I broke out my drip maker. Wow, talk about some great coffee. As much as I like my keurig, I'm a little burned out trying to find deals on the pods. And trying to make it in my kcup just wasn't tasting all that great. Also notice qvc isn't selling that many models of them anymore.

I used to love to grind my own beans and drip coffee.

 

Also used to love to perk coffee.

 

No more.  I have a few beloved Keurig Kcups and most summer days have one cup.

 

As for QVC not offering so many -  I have no idea why?  Maybe it's not the season people buy so many?

Although I use the Keurig at work (with my kcup) for convenience at home it's grind up and brew all the way.

They had the Keurig on so often, I was sure that everyone in America had at least one, if not more. LOL.

I'm with you, I traded off my Keurig to my son & DIL for their Mr. Coffee.    My favorite cup of coffee in the world is at Waffle House, they grind enough beans for 1 pot of coffee at a time.   I'm never disappointed, spoiled me for any other coffee.

 

My employer sometimes offers Starbucks gift cards for incentives & I buy the whole beans there.    I always have to tell the cashier NOT to grind it, I do it myself.

 

Very easy to grind coffee beans in the Vitamix.  However, peanut butter, not so much!    I think I'll stick to store-bought p'nut butter, for as much as I eat.

I know when this Keurig finally decides to bite the dust, I'm not going to replace it.  I'm going back to my little 4 cup Cuisinart.

Ladies you know that QVC isn't the only place to buy these things now don't you? I still have my coffee bean grinder that I used for years with my drip coffee maker. I discoved the Keurig mini and find it so much more convenient. I buy all of my different coffee kcups when on sale at my super markets. I get some great deals! Woman Happy

I'll never give up my Keurig.

I'm on my fourth one, and I just need the
one cup model. It's the easiest for me.

I had years of grinding coffee beans and cleaning pots and grounds. I'm so done with it!

I find good deals on coffee also. It's so easy with a computer to find sales.   

That's how we roll in the shire..

Everyone and their dog sells them, I'm sure it's no longer profitable for Q to stock them.   Except for specials of course.  They're big on package deals.    I like the bold flavors of kcups and buy for company but usually use fresh ground and ekowbrew cups.
