Need to buy a Keurig. Would appreciate any suggestions. Would also like help with K cup.

[jackthebear]

take a look at the iCoffee, I got one after my 3 rd Keurig,

you can easily make what ever size cup you which I couldn't do with the Keurig, and you can use any type of kcup

Please buy a My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter, and a brewer that's compatible with it.

I think I have the Keurig K250. I got a really good buy on it at my local Kroger last fall.

It has a 40oz water reservoir, but the way that it sets on the Keurig it doesn't take up much counter space.

I have a metal pod drawer that sits under it & it still fits underneath my kitchen cabinet.

It's great. I only wish that I had chosen one that I could adjust the temperature of the water. I like by tea hotter than the Keurig gets it, but it's no big thang.

It does brew a carafe pod, but I have never bought any of the pods for that. I did buy the carafe. :}

We use the mini Keurig. It only brews one cup and this model doesn't store the water. It just skeeves me out leaving water in the bigger Keurigs to use at a later date. Yuck.

@ID2 ~ your post made me chuckle...you used the word "skeeve."  I've never heard this word mentioned on this board, and I use it often!  Are you by chance an east coast girl?

I have an iCoffee.  I got tired of my Keurigs failing all the time.  I was constantly having to scrape the needle and various things to get them to work.  You can use any of the k-cups with the iCoffee.  I buy my pods from Rogers Family Coffee because they are biodegradeable.  I really like the coffee, too.

Thank you for your suggestions. It really helps.

I use distilled water, so it's no skeevier than having it sit in a jug. LOL

After my 2nd Keurig quit, I didn't even bother trying to clean it or whatever to make it work.  I bought a $40 Hamilton Beach Flex Brew and I am so happy with it. The pods are cheaper than the k-cups.  It makes one cup of coffee any size you want.  It doesn't hold the water.  I haven't had to do any maintenance on it so far and I've used it for probably a year.

The pods come in flavors, but not near as many as the k-cups.  I also can't buy them as many places as the k-cups.  I order them online for more selection.  Amazon has them, but they aren't the cheapest place.

I know you didn't ask for advice on which coffee maker brand to get, but thought I'd throw that out.
