Got a Keurig Brewing System with part of my tax refund. I absolutely love that I can do one cup of coffee,tea,etc. What K-Cups have you tried that you would recommend? I haven't tried to many yet but so far have really liked Donut House Collection which includes cinnamon roll,chocolate glazed donut,extra bold regular and decaf. Cafe Escapes-Cafe Mocha yummy-might get some sugar free flavorings to add to the mocha. Came with K-Cup to use own coffee but haven't tried yet-does it work well? With summer approaching any suggestions for iced tea or coffee? Thanks! Darcie

Caribou Coffee Daybreak Morning Blend
Donut Shop Decaf
Gloria Jean's Hazelnut

Can't wait for this fall when Starbucks will start making Keurig cups and we can get Breakfast Blend again. The Caribou Daybreak is very good, but it is a bit too much caffiene for us.

Is it possible to use your own coffee in these machines? I enjoy roasting and grinding my own coffee beans,

Thanks

Yep, you can definitely use your own coffee. You just need the little adapter piece ($14), and then you put your grounds directly into that.

For the Keurig K-cups, get the Cafe Escapes Hot Chocolate. I prefer the Dark Hot Chocolate (not quite as sweet as the milk).

There are a variety of teas that come in K-Cups, but I don't find those particularly more convenient than just using the machine to brew hot water, and adding a tea bag.

There are some "brew-over-ice" teas, that are pretty good, but I am a fan of just plain hot or iced tea, without any flavorings or sweetener.

Also, there is a new apple cider, which I don't see how you could go wrong with... but again, like tea, I don't think it is inherently more convenient than brewing the hot water and adding a package of apple cider.

As you can see, there is no coffee opinion from me. I'm not a coffee drinker.

Hope this helps!
