At OKW now- K-cup coffeemaker

[Simba's Mom]

DH called for a Kcup coffeemaker, because that's what the WDW website said he could do, and at first they said "Yes", but then they called back and said that the "it" had been discontinued at OKW-no more Kcup coffeemakers were available. So we have a 12 cup coffee maker, which is OK for most people, but I'm supposed to drink DeCaf and DH likes strong caffeine coffee. Oh, well-the view is beautiful, at least.

We arrrived today to OKW. Only had 2 Joffreys decaf and no regular provided. I actually brought my own coffee but thought I had read the filters were the normal flat bottom kind. Nope our coffee maker has the cone kind. I could cry because I already ordered groceries and now have no way to get those filters. Went to FD and got some of the nasty Joffreys. Waiting on bell services to deliver our groceries and housekeeping to bring extra plates, etc as there were only 3 provided. Hopefully the storm passes soon and deliveries resume because we are exhausted and want to go to sleep.

That’s too bad I thought they would have switched to the duos by now. That would have solved both the flat basket filter and kcup issues

This won’t fix the decaf/regular issue, but what we did with the coffee in the coffeemaker is just follow the instructions using the coffee provided in the packages (even though we brought our own, w paper filters). We like our coffee rather strong so we just filled it to the 8 cup line, and it came out perfectly every morning. We enjoyed it.

Btw there is no need to bring filters as the coffee pots have reusable filters. Just make sure it sits in its slot correctly or the carafe won’t fill.

We use a Keurig at home and are used to having them at Disney resorts, too, but this was fine. The coffee maker itself was brand new. And our view was beautiful, too. Enjoy your stay!

Thanks! I don't know what DH did (I'll tell him what ratio you used) but he seemed OK. When I got up, I added a bunch of water and extra coffee creamer (then heated it in the microwave) and it was OK for me. A week of caffeine won't destroy me.
And we're right across from the HH this time, very convenient, and surprisingly peaceful (kind of thought this location might seem "busier")

We arrived yesterday too. And we had to wait for our groceries too. Kroger-excellent job!

It would be great if they could make the coffee makers uniform across all the resorts. Probably asking too much.

It was actually my DH who’d read the instructions on the coffee package and got us having good coffee every morning, lol. I’d started out using our own coffee at first and it just made a big mess, had to throw it all away. Plus that’s how I figured out the reusable filter has to sit just so in its slot.

I was thinking for you, I might make a pot of decaf and refrigerate it, and heat it up in the morning, or vice versa. (Or drink iced?) I usually drink decaf, too, so I get it. But I was fine all week with the regular.

Some of the older Mr. Coffee ones that I have come across did not. We still use one since we keep them in our Owner's Locker even if the coffee maker does have one as a just in case and it is a little bit of an easier clean up.

We used Kroger as well. They were 30 minutes late but with the weather didn’t matter. They also apparently ran out of every cream cheese. Didn’t offer me an alternate brand or size. Thankfully the gift shop had it! Pricey but worth it.

When are you guys scheduling the delivery for? I usually schedule for early in the morning knowing that if I don't have my room yet Bell Services has refrigerator storage and is able to bring the groceries to my room when I do have the room assigned.
