Default Keurig Users...

What's your favorite coffee blend? DH and I got a Keurig for our anniversary, and LOVE it! We got it at Costco and it came with 80 K-cups & a K-Cup for using your own grounds.

We've decided to keep buying ground coffee for regular, every day coffee, and only buy K-cups in specialty flavors or blends (DH loves the dark & bold blends, I like flavored coffee). We just got our first box delivered (yay!)... we ordered:

Chocolate Glazed Donut
Island Coconut
Sugar Bush Maple
Cinnamon Pastry
Nantucket Blend
Sumatran Reserve

I don't like anything too dark. I LOVE almost all of the Green Mountain ones. Breakfast Blend and Pumpkin are my favorites.

We do Green Mountain coffee, too... but we don't do flavored, my hubby doesn't liked flavored coffee so we just do plain and then I use creamers.

I'm not a big coffee drinker but I have put a Keurig on my Christmas list...lol. I recently started drinking French Vanilla iced lattes, plus I know you can do teas with them so I really want now. And J drinks coffee so it would be good for us.

I love GM Breakfast Blend. But that's more of a plain guy.
I love Nantucket too, that's one of my absolutely favorites.
And anything hazelnut. I like Gloria Jeans hazelnut, but the GM one is good too.

Green Mountain Hazelnut is a close second to the cinnamon pastry

I've tried the hot chocolate, and it was so yummy! But I'd rather just use my own hot chocolate mix & just use the Keurig for the hot water... way cheaper! I might have to try the apple cider though!

I used to never drink coffee before DH got his Keurig. Now, thanks to him, I'm addicted.

These are two of my favs. I also really like Sweet Summer Raspberry and Private Blend. I *think* these are both made by Timothy's. There's also a Timothy's White Hot Chocolate that is pretty dang awesome. Enjoy!

The Caribou ones are my favorite by far! I also really like the Gloria Jeans French Vanilla. The Caffe Mochas and the Iced Coffee ones are excellent, too. I absolutely love my Keurig.

I like Green Mountain's half caff - has a nice bold flavor. As for mixes definitely Chai Latte. I think it is by Cafe Escapes.

We love our Keurig too! They have the BEST customer service. We used ours several times a day and unfortunately it stopped working. I called them and they sent a replacement brewer by Fed Ex along with coupons for 4 large (24 cup) K-cups boxes of our choice. And the new one came with another full year warranty. We tend to prefer the darker blends in our house and I love that I can do decaf if I want a cup in the evening.

I don't care for flavored coffees, and prefer a darker cup of coffee. So far my favorites are:

Tully's French Roast (I've had trouble with their Italian Roast. It's very inconsistent and I had them refund me for 4 boxes recently)
Tully's House Blend is ok (I get the big box at Costco)
Caribou Obsidian
I just ordered Caribou Mahogany...sounds yummy and dark
Barista brand French Roast
The Folgers Black Silk isn't bad either. My son liked that.

My husband won't really drink them...he and one of my boys prefer their pot of Starbucks French Roast. Since my dh is in Alaska, my son just takes his travel mug, puts his creamer in it and drives through Starbucks everyday to get his coffee for work. My two other boys at home drink from the Keurig.

Has anybody tried any of the espresso ones? I don't really like "regular" coffee, but I love espresso.

Yumm! They all sound good! Mari - I'm glad to hear that the Caffe Mocha one is good - I wanted to put it in my cart, and was hoping for a review!

This morning I tried the Maple one, and it was AMAZING. Oh my goodness. My new favorite coffee! I'm slurping on the Cinnamon Pastry blend right now, and it's delicious too!!
