<p>Well, I’ll be dipped. Keurig had a great deal on Ideeli but it’s not for a K-cup machine, oh no, they have come up with Vue cups. @@@@@@@ LOL. I hate to have to make decisions like that. Supposedly, the Vue takes K-cups with an adapter but not vice versa. wringing my hands…I don’t know what to do!!!</p>
<p>Do not buy a VUE. I believe they are being discontinued which is why there is a bargain. Most stores aren’t carrying the VUE at all anymore…kohls, target, BBB…they don’t have it.</p>
<p>Anything left is being cleared out.</p>
<p>If it were me, I’d wait until I had a 30% off coupon at Kohls and buy a regular Keurig,…if you really want one.</p>
<p>To be honest, I think a French press is just as easy, and makes much better coffee…but that is a whole other thread that you can search for!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Am I the only person left who doesn’t have a Keurig?</p>
<p>Our Vue died after a year. The heating unit stopped working. My husband is mad. He bought it as a present for me, but truth is he is the one who used it. I prefer my Mr Coffee. </p>
<p>We don’t have a Keurig. I grind coffee beans and use a Chemix–it is a glass carafe. You use a paper filter and pour boiling water over the ground coffee. It takes more time than something like the Keurig, but I enjoy the process. It’s also inexpensive–the glass pot is probably $30. </p>
<p>I also don’t have one but am sure eyeing them. I love the quick convenience (and taste) but hate the cost of the little cups. And don’t want to use the refillables-- to me, that’s no more convenient than using a regular coffee maker, loading the coffee basket. i was thinking of the K10, because I want the smaller footprint. Then again, you have to keep refilling the reservoir, since it only holds one cup. </p>
<p>We love our Keurig! Now that it’s summertime, both boys are home from their colleges and we all like different kinds of coffee so it’s perfect for us. My older son has a K10 but it is a hassle because of having to refill the reservoir each time. Also, a friend suggested only using distilled water and that’s worked well for us - no problems after 2-1/2 years and only the occasional descaling with vinegar. I worried using distilled water would affect the flavor but it doesn’t at all.</p>
<p>I always use brita water in our Keurig, no problems so far.</p>
<p>Bromfield, I used a chemex back in the eighties. Now I like my coffee waiting for me when I get up. (I have a Zoshirushi with a timer.) :)</p>
<p>I have a Keurig on every floor of the house! I love it! All are the small, individual cup model (mini). The first (an older model) was a gift. The other 2, between sal and kohl’s discounts, cost me about $40 each, at most. THey come with coupons to buy the K cups for about 50 cents each, and there are plenty of other ways tog get good kcups at about 45-50 cents each (Costco, Amazon, etc). The also have an adapter you can buy to put your own coffee in it. Cant recall if it comes with the pot or is sold separately. I LOVE making a cup of coffee in the bathroom in the morning (its in a large cabinet in the master bath- nowhere near anything bad) and smelling it brewing while I am in the shower. Dont have to go up and down the stairs for my morning cup. Heaven.</p>
<p>When H and I travel by car, we take a mini keurig with us (with kcups, mini-moos, etc). we like it much better than what a hotel room has. </p>
<p>jym, I have my coffee maker on the balcony outside my bedroom. It wakes me up when it clicks on and the smell gets me out of bed. It is a good way to start the day. (I also have an upstairs and a downstairs coffeemaker.)</p>
<p>I have them all. I have a Keurig, a French press, and a couple of regular coffee makers (cuisinart is my favorite of the regular ones).</p>
<p>I absolutely hate the coffee from a Keurig, and I’ve tried dozens if different K cups. I just don’t like it. So, my Keurig resides at my beach club in the summers. It’s perfect for that usage as everyone likes different things, and one cup at a time works very well.</p>
<p>I use a French press. Easy peasy. And it makes good coffee. </p>
<p>I use the Cuisenart when I have company and need a full pot or two for a crowd.</p>
<p>But back to the VUE…don’t buy it! The pods for it are doing a disappearing act from the shelves. The Keurig folks, I guess, discovered that folks didn’t really want that model!</p>
<p>onemoremom–You’re not the only one.</p>
<p>I have a (don’t judge) cheap Mr. Coffee. H and I drink coffee all day, don’t mind reheating, so brewing a cup at a time just doesn’t make sense to us. Plus I would have to use the re-usables, and the fair trade coffee I order online, so it just wouldn’t make life easier to use the Keurig.</p>
<p>I think it would be more expensive too. Even my online stuff is far cheaper than 50 cents a cup.</p>
<p>I like my coffee hot, even after the milk/cream is in- that was my concern with the french press. My 8-10 cup cheapo is good for guests (by the time that amount is brewed, the warmer plate has done its job. And we have a thermal carafe.) But I tend to end up microwaving my everyday coffee to bring it back up to temp, which bugs me for a few reasons. I never had that issue with the office Keurig or at friends’ homes.</p>
<p>50 cents each would add up here. The better discounts I’ve seen were for mixed types/flavors and we would mostly use basic Colombian and French Roast. I’d really like to be convinced. But I don’t want the standard size on my counter. </p>
<p>Our Keurig was temperamental. It didn’t last very long. So we went back to our regular coffee maker.</p>
<p>I didn’t think I’d like Keurig coffee because I thought I was a coffee snob. Turns out I’m just a snob about having hot, not burned tasting coffee. Bingo. Hot fresh coffee one cup at a time. I have the mini so I just fill the mug with cold water and pour it into the Keurig. And I like Eight O’Clock and Maxwell House Columbian just as much as the expensive brands. </p>
<p>Another Keurig-free household. I brew a pot in the morning and take it in a thermos to work. On the weekends it says hot in the stainless carafe which I can take out on the deck. Much cheaper plus I drink way too much coffee to be limited to the K cups. I’ve stayed with people with the fill-your-own cups and that is a circle of hell for me</p>
<p>I hate the Kuerigs. I’ve replaced mine at home and hoffice with the one cup with loose grounds from Hamilton Beach. </p>
