I know the coffee snobs will attack here but I'm just starting out with my conversion to coffee. I wanted something simple and the ability to make tea and hot cocoa as well. I was going to just get a coffee press but decided on this. It's the K79 model.
OK...coffee snob here!
You have to start somewhere, and if you enjoy the coffee, that's all that matters.
Us condescending, critical, nasty, condemnable coffee snobs like it when anybody finds a way to enjoy coffee. A press would have been good, too...but really would have necessitated whole beans and a grinder, so if the convenience of the Keurig meets your needs and provides you with coffee that you enjoy...then it's all good!
When, or if, you want to learn a bit more about coffee, or share your experience with the Keurig with some other coffee freaks, please join us on Espresso Enthusiast thread. Don't let the name put you off, those of us who post regularly on the site just love to talk coffee.
Born and raised in New England grew up with hockey players all around me. Always loved baseball lol
Donated my other oakleys to the lake on Tuesday (silly me) so I picked up a frame on eBay for my left over lenses

Thanks for the recos. So far for the few days I've had this thing I love it. Now I'm trying to find a kcup that I like best out of the 12 that came with it. I think hazelnut has been the best yet. Had my wife get me a box of caramel vanilla and a box of hazelnut. Any other suggestions?
If you register your brewer on Keurig.com, you will get a coupon code for buy two boxes get two free. They also have a reward point system where you can earn discounts on coffee and accessories....eventually even brewers.
They also have pretty detailed reviews of the k cups on the site. We seem to have different coffee tastes so I won't bore you with my suggestions. Lol
I got fed up with my Manfrotto 498rc2 ball head and it's quick release system with it's insecure feel, so I just ordered a Feisol CB-50DC carbon fibre ball head, they get some good reviews plus ive been chatting to a few photographers that use them, it takes a load up too 19kg, should cope with any set up so I took a gamble ordered a few hours ago, should be here in a few days.

I don't do flavored coffees, so I can't be of any help....sorry.
I'm a super purist (coffee snob
)...I only drink straight expresso.You could try posting on the Espresso Enthusiast thread to which I gave you a link. Perhaps there are some who check that thread who use the Keurig and can help you with coffee selection.
Bed bath and Beyond had sample boxes a while back, you may want to look into that if you have one near. I think there were 12 samples per box, lots of nice ones some not so much. I personally love the Donut shop coffee.

I tried the Donut Shop that came with the Keurig and didn't think it was that great. I think it was morning blend but I'm not sure.
I didn't like the donut shop coffee.
Our favorites are Van Houtte Eclipse, Timothy's Parisian Nights, Green Mountain Double Black Diamond.
We now have enough points at Keurig for 15% every order. We also wait for coupon codes and we've used our points to get half off the tall k cup organizer holders.
Yep! OEM from the m sport package.
Probably pass on the drop. I already get paranoid going over bumps. Not sure a drop would help
Completely understand. You got a killer deal. The dealership charges an arm and a leg for those. I think the next set I'm going to get are HRE.

My only feisol product (tournament edition tripod) had a leg fall out of it (twice) and the first time I walked my jewels right into the broken tripod leg
