I didn't know about this.  If I find these empty ones I can put my own coffee in, I wonder how much for a cup? I make a whole pot in my 10 cup Bunn, 3 scoops and that is just right.  I have only found one I liked, mocha coffee, and couldn't find that again.  I'm there a lot being we take care of my little 2 year old grandgirls almost 5 days a week.

@gloriajean I have a Keurig and find that I don't use the pods that much except for tea and then I use less water for a stronger brew.  I use the additional tool/k-cup resuable filter that allows you to add your own ground coffee and find I like this much better than using their pods and saves money.

@gloriajean  My keurig is my back up  to my old school coffe maker. I use brown filters, because htey aren't bleached. The pods aren't biodegradable, and the plastic ruins the taste. Even the resuable ones don't taste as good, and I can't really control what I'm drinking re; caffeine content etc. I just don't like it as much.

I enjoy too many cups in the morning to fuss with little pods.  Drip for me.

I add more water when I brew mine it mellows the taste alot. Experimenting is you best bet until you get it the way you like it Always watch what strenth is on the box, that is where you start.

I love my Keurig.I can’t live without it!! I mainly use K Cups but sometimes use my own coffee in the “my K Cup”. I buy disposable filter liners that fit into it so there is no cleanup. I just throw the liner out. Easy peasy. You can get them at Bed Bath & Beyond.

@gloriajean...dh and I drink a lot of coffee.  We tried the keurig but the pods are just to expensive if you drink a lot of coffee.  We did purchase the filter that lets you add your own coffee, but found it to be messy and to much work in my opinion...we went back to breweing our coffee.

I have noticed there have not been a lot of presentations of the Keurig this year on QVC, maybe they lost their appeal???

Thank you for all the responses on this.  If I get the empty pods how much coffee do you put in one for one cup?  1 teaspoon?  

We would never get one, but being my daughter has one and we are there alot, taking care of the twins, and helping her with some housework, I would like coffee I can enjoy.  Our bunn maker is the best for us!

I love my Keurig, had it for almost 6 years now. I'm afriad to buy a new one what with the bad reviews. So I keep using this one. I also have a drip 5 cup-er. But since the basket is so small, I can't make it strong or grounds run all over. But what I get from the Keurig is adequate.

I've been using Farberware Electric Percolator for many years. Now - Farberwre and several other brands break after a few months. Recently, I purchased a Cuisinart Electric Percolator from Walmart. I like perc'd coffee.
