Favorite Keurig drinks?
I just bought this thing a few days ago and wanted to get some new cups. So far I've been unimpressed with the sample pack that came with my machine
I've liked the indulgio French vanilla cappuccino on medium setting, just a little on the sweet side.
I've also tried this pomegranate raspberry tea which was alright, it just needed a little sugar.
Oh and if you could describe the taste as well that'd be great.

When did I say coffee isn't worthwhile to appreciate? I said the stuff imported to the States may as well be Folgers, so it's silly to be pretentious about it.
[quote=WontPostMuch]Lol @ people in the states bashing coffee. You do realize you get the coffee that coffee-exporting nations don't want, right? Your good coffee is what is unwanted elsewhere.

[quote=acuppa]specialty coffee is getting pretty big in the states and their selection process is actually pretty rigorous. the bigger roasters send people to popular growing regions to do cuppings and decide which lots they're going to purchase from[/quote]
It's improving but it's definitely not ever going to be the best coffee. At best you're still getting coffee shipped to you. It's just amusing since I grew up in a house where we had our own home-grown coffee beans. Any coffee here just tastes so subpar, seeing people get pretentious about it is baffling. Kinda like people arguing over what on the menu at McDonald's constitutes fine dining. Sure, the Big Mac may taste better than the McRibs but it's still damn fast food, you know?

OT:
I like the Chai Latte. It's a bit watered down but alright for the job.[/quote]
Oh yeah the Chai one is great too. I tried some of my friends and it was really good. It actually tasted better than the Chai at starbucks/dunkin.
[quote=GreatBolshy]the reason that you're not impressed with the samplers is because that coffee is garbage. it's stale coffee that's been sitting in a plastic cup for who knows how long. should've got an aeropress and real beans instead of that. it's at the very least the same price if not cheaper for the coffee and tastes better[/quote]

[quote=AbsymalTorment]Keurig is terrible with their stupid DRM.[/quote]
I had to look up what this was and dear god LOL.
That is retarded. Beyond retarded. Corporate greed much?
[quote=Icephoenix21]I stopped using my Keurig and use a French Press instead.
Not only is the coffee quality for Keurigs pretty poor but you can't even recycle those cups, which is really irritating.
Additionally you can't even drain the water from (at least the older models) 100%. Sitting water is just asking for bacteria to grow there.
You say you don't have time in the morning for presses but that just sounds like an excuse. I wake up, put some water on the stove for 10 minutes while I'm getting ready, pour the water into the press and go get ready for another 5 minutes and then pour it into my travel mug before I leave. It's not like you gotta sit and do nothing while it's brewing or warming up o.o[/quote]
I set my alarm almost two hours before work because I'm a terrible morning person. It is an excuse, because I could just set it even earlier, but than I'd feel even worse. Also, I'm usually fixing my lunch while the thing heats up and pours, so I guess that's not a good excuse either... I'm just lazy.
The drm only applies to 2.0 machines and cups.

I don't have time in the morning for presses. I have been looking into a cappuccino machine, but again, time. The keurig is much more convenient anyway, with the teas and choco milk cups.
