Who owns one? I got a K75 for xmas for me and the roommate. So far I love it. What is your favorite coffee / kcup. The main reason I got it was because I have lived all over the country, and each region has there own blend, and I can't find those blends locally without paying a fortune. So I can kcup it. Love it.

I have one and really love it. I like my Chai Tea and not sure which coffee I like best. Haven't tried a lot of variety. My husband usually does the shopping and all he buys is Starbuck French Roast.

I'm very happy with the tea's that came with it. Not much of a coffee person, I like cappucinos, and heavily flavored coffee. I drink more tea that anything. I found I really like the Celestial Seasonings English Black Breakfast Tea.

Celestial Seasonings is great. Have you ever toured their plant in Boulder? If you ever get to Colorado do take the tour.

Also, their gift shop has more types of tea than what you can get in the grocery store. I think they might be regional blends.

Loved mine, but gave it to someone because I was spending so much money on those darn K-Cups! Loved The Coffee House Coffee, the Starbuck's Verona Blend and sometimes one of the cocoa ones for a special treat!

I have this bad habit of leaving a bit of coffee in the carafe and not throwing away the filter and grounds after using my drip brew coffee makers. Then they would get mold in them and since my kitchen sink is stopped up it was difficult to clean them so I would buy another coffee pot. I now own five drip brew coffee makers. My sister bought me a Keurig for Christmas and I thought I would never use it, it is just for fancy people. Well there are no more dirty pots and filters to get moldy so my problem is solved.

Plus I used to drag myself out of bed when I had early appointments and start the coffee and go back to bed. Now that I have my Keurig I have a cup of java in less than two minutes. How did I ever live without it?!

I received one as a gift too. I enjoy the one cup, and no messes, filters to clean up. I haven't tried the teas yet, and look forward to doing so. Favorites,,,,,just enjoy using the machine and the convenience of it.

With the amount of coffee I was drinking, I was having to use a lot of cups. I think it is wonderful for people who do not drink large quantities and/or can afford the cost of the k-Cups. If you don't realize, there are places on-line where you can buy by bulk, I even think you can do this on Amazon. Saves some money!

I agree the K cups are rather expensive but in my situation buying five drip coffee makers due to mold kind of balances it out for me. I don't know the differences of the various Keurigs sold but mine has a plastic vial that you can put ground coffee in so that you can use your choice of ground coffee and then empty the vial and refill. But since I have the issues of squalor and not cleaning promptly the kcups have solved so many problems and it is worth extra cost. '

If I can get my kitchen sink unclogged I might try the vial you fill, clean and reuse. I tried plunging my sink and tried Drano. Yesterday when I was in Kmart I bought a bottle of Drano that has a ~18 inch 'snake' to try and if the snake doesn't work my only option will be plumber.

I wanted one for Christmas and may get one eventually (we didn't really do Christmas this year/buy each other gifts); the insert to use your own coffee (we buy whole beans and grind them ourselves) was out-of-stock when I looked at everything on Amazon, wasn't coming in until after Christmas so I decided to just wait. Plus, we're going away for February so it may be Spring before I get around to it. My husband gets up much earlier than I do and often the coffee pot turns itself off so my first cup is only lukewarm (and that's before I add the cold milk :-) Too, the cups/mugs we use are large/too "big" so by the time I get to my second "cup" of coffee, there's only half a cup left

I have one and I love it! I'm only a one cup a day person, so it's perfect for me. I have a regular one too if I have guests.

Love my Keurig, watch the grocery store for sales on the Kcups and yes, they are on amazon.com for less than at the store!

I've had one for a couple years. Fav is Wolfgang Puck Caramel(something or other, forget the complete flavor name), haven't bought that in a while, easier to grab whats at grocery store. And I also have the piece, add your own ground coffee. I put a filter in, when I do that, easier to clean. Takes finesse to add filter, maybe one day I'll find an easier solution.

I find it good to have, when there's different palates in home.

I finally received on for Christmas! A relative purchased it for under $70, I think it is the K45? I have not used it, but cannot wait to. I want to try the hot apple cider!
