A few years ago I remember my mom having one, and I thought it was just a novelty item. Then almost 4 years ago I started working for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR). Unknown to most, GMCR had actually bought Keurig out many years ago. Up until about a year ago they continued to pretty much run as two separate business entities. Within the past year the two have essentially merged, and now both are known as Keurig Green Mountain. Now some of you may be wondering what I'm getting at, and here it is:
Being an employee, I get several perks such as discounted brewers, free coffee (bag,kcup, vcup...etc), and so forth. In the first couple of months I learned A LOT about the coffee process, and how they package the kcups. I started trying the coffee here and there, and eventually bought a brewer at half price. Eventually I stopped using bag coffee, stopped going to coffee shops, and anything like that. I now only use a Keurig for coffee (most of the time).
Were it not for the free kcups I get, I would be either broke or in severe withdrawals. I go to walmart and other store, and cringe at the prices for kcups. I tried using the drop in filter but found myself angry after a few days because the coffee got stale. I tried all sorts of things, but kept coming back to kcups.... the free part was the biggest kicker. After trying around 40 different versions, I found one I love... Tullys Hawaiian Blend.
I am a keurig snob, and to be honest I've tried other types of brewers and coffee and found 99% to taste like crap compare to the consistency I get from a keurig.
Anyways I just wanted to share, and if anyone has any questions about the coffee or the brewer I'll try to answer them. Just keep in mind my answers are my own opinion and not an official response from KGM.
