I use Keurig, Regular, Medium Roast ,Donut Shop. Buy it from Amazon, love it. My Bunn went into the garage sale pronto. I also buy Green Mountain,hot apple cider mix. Grove Square,milk chocolate, hot cocoa. You can't make a cup of anything faster than with a Keurig, or something made with pods. My sister and niece got one as soon as I could order and they love it too. Nothing bitter in any of these.

We finally found WM Blonde coffee pods. They work great for us.

I love my Keurig mainly because I love flavored coffees..I'm always trying a 'new' flavor from various companies..
However I know people (mainly Folgers Lovers) who say that the Folgers K-Cup Pods do NOT taste like Folgers brewed in a unit like Mr. Coffee..
Reckon it depends on individual tastes..:

I have tried many different flavors of Kcups over the years, and never tasted any bitterness. I always use bottled water because our city water is just about the worst.

Buy an assortment of K-cups to find one you like. I bought a winter assortment and like all the flavors. My mug is huge so I set it to 'strong brew' and make two cups from one K-cup, which gives me one large cup of coffee that isn't too strong for my taste buds.

@gloriajean I'm like you, I don't like strong, bitter tasting coffee. I have a Keurig and I think the taste depends on the brand (of coffee) you use. I have tried many different brands, some I like and some are horrible and I had to throw the kcups away.. Peets is horrible - very strong and bitter tasting.. I like the Krispy Kreme - that's my favorite. Also the McCafe (like McDonalds), Community Coffee and Gevalia are my other favorites... I have not tried the usual brands, Maxwell House or Folgers.
Also, as others have said the cup size you brew. I always brew the largest size cup, can't remember if it's a 10 oz or 12 oz...

I don't buy the Keurig pods - too expensive. My favorites are found at Aldi and so cheap! Not bitter or strong at all. Of course, I use decaf, but they have a lot of different ones to choose from.

My favorite is the McCafe Premium Roast. I brew a 12oz cup. For those of you who like this brand, it's available from Amazon for $27.12 for 84 pods. That's only 32 cents per pod. Not real sure you can beat that anywhere else.

I love the convenience of the pods . I use a small Mr. Coffee for DH 's 2 cups to see him off to his job. I use Keurig , or actually a Hamilton Beach single serve ( as I am on my 2nd mini Keurig --and sending it back (: )
I only drink 2 cups of regular coffee daily , but I do not mind a bit of bitterness if the coffee is 'slap your mama' strong like Peet's and Green Mountain dark. @gloriajean Coffee drinkers do come in a variety. I find the regular or light roasted types to be light brown water.
I think Bunn is one of the few brands that still have models with a stainless steel water reservoir , which makes them last and keep making good coffee. I think the best coffee is french pressed--but I just cannot do that in the early a.m. when I wake up .
