I can't stand the smell of hazlenut coffee. It makes me sick smelling it - not sure why.

I wrote this amazingly funny response. As is usual with me, it was rather wordy. If you take too long to craft a response this stupid site now logs you out automatically and when you hit "Sumit Reply" you are taken to the Log-In screen and all that you wrote is lost.

So, you lose.

It was really an awesome response.

I too have a Keurig and I couldn't agree more. I do like having a variety of flavors to choose from, but the quantity sucks. I only use my Keurig during the week and it fills my travel mug almost 3/4 of the way for my commute to work. I do like the convenience of it all to some extent, but then again, having a delay brew coffee machine is almost as convenient, if I didn't have to clean out the filter, dump the left over, etc. On the weekends I use my good ole' coffee maker and have as many cups as I like. Burning thru those little Keurig cups would add up $$$ real quick.

This is exactly how I feel about mine. At first I loved it, but the novelty is starting to wear off. Most of the coffees seem a little weak to me too. I've been buying my K-cups at coffeeforless.com or coffeegiant.com. I seem to save some money that way. But Folger's now makes K-cups, so I may try some of those.

Try the Kona extra bold k-kups. That stuff has me bouncing my legs in my chair for a few hours after I get to my office. I'll have to try those Folger k-kups, I didn't know they made those.

I haven't tried any of the Extra Bold cause I actually didn't want to be bouncing around for a few hours. But maybe I'll give it a shot. I like Kona coffee a lot.

The Folger's is new.

That's what I usually do. I just thought that for the coffee response I get it written before the cut-off time.

Should have saved what I wrote before hitting "Submit Reply"

here's the non humorous reader's digest condensed version that will answer all y'alls concerns about the Keurig not dispensing enough coffee and the coffee being weak.

Most Keurigs have three buttons. One for a small cup, one for a medium cup, one for a large.

The more water you run thru a cup the more diluted the coffee will be.

NEVER EVER press the "large" cup button. At most, use the medium.

Never ever use a cup more than once.

Size of drinks is relative. Pressing "large" on a Keurig does not mean it will fill a 185 oz. donut shop/convenience store size XXXL cup.

If you have a travel mug, and you want to fill it up, use multiple kcups pressing either the small or medium button on the brewer.

Yes, it's more expensive that way. Yes, it's worth it.

Get the extra bold coffees. Emeril's Big Easy Bold, Timothy's Parisian Nights, Green Mountain Extra Bold Espresso. (I can't imagine the Folgers Gormet cup will be any good, but let me know)

Good heavens, absolutely not!

Is it snobbery to desire the finer things in life, say, an excellent tasting coffee which is presented in a manner that such a beverage requires?



I say NOT!

Really now, "Dunking Doughnuts"? What on Earth is that?

What's that you say? It's a doughnut shoppe?

My word, who goes such places?

No, no, no. My coffee is delivered by my man, Godfrey. Which reminds me . . .

rings bell

"Godfrey, fetch me another espresso Italiano. Straight away!"

Cheers, my good man.
