Keurig Owners of ACF: You Lied To Me! Larger Cup Size is Clearly Diluted!
|
Wife wanted one for Christmas. I got one inspite of my dislike of the increased cost of making simple coffee.
Small Cup - Nice strength and taste for medium/mild roasts
Large Cup - Clearly watered down taste for medium/mild roasts
You can even see the colour of the water coming out of the Keurig go from dark brown, to near clear as it "brews".
I've actually been using this to my advantage though... Timothy's Extra bold midnight blend was on sale for <30cents a cup so I bought 2 cases. Tastes almost like charcoal on the small cup size. Tastes fairly good on large cup size.
That being said. I enjoy the Keurig overall.
Does anyone have a cheap place to get the K-Cups? I like the variety packs for sampling and guests.

Those are a colossal amount of waste for a single cup of coffee.
That said, there are places you can get the empty cups, and grind your own beans.

Unless there is another option?

Mine has a cup that I fill with coffee I ground myself. Its the most cost effective way if your just a coffee drinker. I only buy the specialty cups like chai latte and green tea.
*edit* the cup you fill yourself is reusable. I have 2 of them that I alternate.

This is what I was thinking of, http://www.amazon.com/EZ-Cup-Keurig-Coffee-Machines-Perfect/dp/B002YPC2NM , but I wager it'd be about $20 Canadian, if the exchange rate is still what I think it is.

I almost bought one, but changed my mind. Â It is a rip off.Keurig Platinum: $200 with tax included80 pack of cups: Â $40The first 200 cups are going to cost me about $1.50 eachAfter that, the machine will break or something.I will stick with my trusty Tim Hortons coffee maker. Â A pot costs me about .15 cents and its amortization cost over the last 3 years has dropped down to about .3 cents a cup, if that. Â

I bought the Mini Plus Keurig, it doesn't have it's own water tank but that's fine for me because I just fill it with the cordless electric kettle that sits next to it. I don't have alternate cup sizes though, it fills my coffee cups just fine so I'm very happy with it.
I'm just too frugal to spend $200 on a coffee maker for my cup a day habit, but I got mine at Big Lots for $60. I think I'm going to start buying mine on amazon for the k-cups. I have the refillable one but it kinda defeats the purpose of the Keurig IMO. also, don't try to put hot chocolate or spiced cider powder in the refillable k-cup, it does not work.

$5 is a reasonable price. They are definately gouging with their new price for an item that costs less than $1 to make.
I think they realized a few things
1) They make huge profit on the little cups
2) The filters were too popular
3) They'd lose money if filters were too cheap
I'll keep looking.

K-cups: around $1/cup of coffee
instant coffee: around 5 cents for a cup of coffee and far less waste.
think I'll stick with my instant coffee, thanks.
