A customer gave me a new Keurig, and I don’t get it, I might as well buy those cans of pre ground coffee like Folgers.

Grinding beans and making a little 4 cup pot is the way to go.

If you have a Kreurig 2.0 - you’re not out of luck.

Rogers Family Company sells the Freedom Clip for $1.99 with free shipping, allowing you to use ANY brand of K-cup and any brand of coffee - not just the overpriced junk Kreurig forced customers to buy to use in their coffeemaker.

We love our new Keurig. My husband is the only coffee drinker and he only drinks a cup or two on the weekends. I would end up cleaning the coffee maker and throwing away the rest of the unused coffee. Even a small can of coffee grounds got stale before he could use it up. Works for us and I don’t have to clean anything.

I did order that little thinga-ma-jig that allows you to use any Kcup. It’s $1.99, free shipping and comes with a 3 cup sampler. Haven’t tried it yet.

I also bought 4 tupperware-like reusable Kcups from Amazon this week.

My husband likes being able to try the different brands and flavors before committing. Now we just have to lobby Keurig to allow an ala carte menu where you can put together your own variety box and purchase the cups singly. Sometimes you can get a 6 pack sampler in certain flavors but if you don’t like it you are stuck with 5 cups.

You are correct.

Besides the coffee inside a K-cup tastes like dust with dirt mixed in. It’s theorist coffee ever!

I agree. The little cups are stale, nasty coffee.

I’m not into it, either.

We drink a whole pot in the morning. We aren’t interested in having to brew each cup as we drink it, no matter how fast it is, nor in using pre-measured cups. My husband brews up the best cup of Dunkin Donuts in the world, nice and strong, on our Mr. Coffee.

(I’m slurping some right now).

I just got one of those Hario coffee filter holders. It’s great.
