The only problem with Dunkin Donuts k-cups is the price.

I bought a box of the regular DD kcups for $12.00.

The problems is that it contains 14 kcups.

For that price, I usually get 24 kcups in a box.

donut shop is the one usually mentioned. the donut house is more of a flavor brand...................FYI...........the best i have come across yet is Kona Blend

This. Love the Kona coffee blend in the mornings.

Seriously!?! I can probably get the DD ones cheaper. My best friends works there

I have been thinking about purchasing a Keurig. I am a huge coffee drinker.
Love my java juice. I am concerned about investing in one because I wonder if I will use it at *first* and then abandon it like so many other appliances. I don't think I will, but I wonder. I love love coffee. I have tried Keurig coffee that I have sampled. But I still wonder...

You won't abandon your Keurig. Almost no one does. The question is: Will your Keurig abandon you? When it does, though, I must say, they're very good about sending out replacement units. They have a lot of practice.

We're puzzled...Val just "descaled" our Keurig and now its giving us short pours. It seems like it only wants to put about 1/2 - 2/3rds the amount of water it should put in the different sizes. Anybody got an idea of what we did and how to fix it?

It's probably just coincidence. Descaling is one of the things that they ask you to do when the short pour problem starts. So, now when you call them (and you do need to call them, sooner rather than later - there's no reason to put it off, cause it just delays your getting a new machine) you can tell them you've already tried descaling!

sometimes i think the company is "not quite there yet" there are more than a few problems that pop up........but.........if you call them, from what i hear, they will bend over backwards to help you.........up to and including a replacement.........i believe Mr Klose had situation involving a defective unit.

They have been having this 'pump' problem since the first model, and with every model since. I thought maybe our newest one (a Platinum for what it's worth, not top of the line, not bottom) might be exempt, but it started about 3 weeks ago - 8 months into its life. I called today, and they agreed to ship a replacement. You just have to go through the little dance with them over the phone trying things you've already tried cz you read all about them on the Internet, and agree to send the little thing that holds the K-cups back to them. Alrighty then!

We were directed by Keurig Customer Service to descale due to our short cup problem. We use Brita filtered water exclusively in the machine and have a filter in the water chamber as well. So I really don't think we had a mineral build-up problem, but we did it on their advice. We are heavy users of the machine though.
I think that did improve that problem, but I'm not convinced that it's giving the right amount all the time. I have call Keurig on my "to do" list.
But now we have a new problem. We used to leave our brewer on all the time 24/7. Suddenly now it keeps shutting itself off. I thought someone (kids) might have messed with the auto-shutoff setting by accident, but I've tried setting the auto-shutoff to "off" - didn't work, "8 hours" - didn't work.

I'm starting to have a love/hate relationship with that dang machine. Love the coffee, hate the hassle. Our 1 year warranty time frame is up in April I think and I'm going to have to try and resolve something with them before that time.

And with that, I think I will go up to the kitchen and make a cup with our Tassimo!

We used filtered water in our current crazy Keurig, and the little filter that fits in the reservoir. The first thing he had me try today was taking the filter thingie out. Hhmmm. So, you might try that. And welcome to the love hate world of Keurig ownership.

Got to agree about the DD version being more expensive, even though I kind of expected that. Val & I bought a box (original blend) just to try and 'unfortunately' its great! So, I guess we will be watching for sales at DD.

Also wanted to comment that overall the price of k-cups is rising, which I believe is tied to a corresponding increase in the world price of coffee. Right now we are finding the best deals on k-cups to be at Bed, Bath & Beyond were you can use some of the ubiquitous coupons to score some k's at less than 50 cents per cup. Good selection too.

Okay, I finally gave in!

I am a big Starbucks espresso fan, and when I moved to a small town where there is no Starbucks, I went out and bought a very nice Jura super-automatic espresso machine (around $1000). I love my machine and it is so easy, but my wife is scared to death of it. Well, I saw a Keurig at a Garage sale, so I picked it up and ordered her a ton of different kcups to try out. Started trying them myself just to see what the big deal was, and now... my poor Jura feels so lonely

The Keurig is so fast, simple, and what wonderful variety. We like the DD as well, but probably a bigger fan of Caribou. I also use a TON of the Green Mountain Southern Sweet Tea cups... yummy and so refreshing on a hot summer day!

So thanks alot everyone... you are the reason I knew about Keurig in the 1st place,.

Just tried the new Dunkin Donuts Dark Roast. Very nice - as long as you like a strong coffee.

I also bought the DD original blend and really like it! I buy my k-cups at either bbb or Bigcatcoffees.com when I cant find certain flavors like Blueberry Mountain. Mmmmmmmmm!

Maybe other retailers will start selling DD when the novelty wears....

My keurig just bit the dust

Waiting to hear back from customer service.. I miss my coffee!

Hi All,

I just discovered that I have enough AirMiles to get a Keurig B60 model

What I'm wondering is...are the flavoured coffee's and specialty teas sugar free? If not, do you know of any K cups that have no sugar (other than the plain coffee)?

 

[DisDan26]

Hey everyone! I have a question... I LOVE my Keurig.. but recently i had some problems with it... it kept saying "prime" on it and would not brew... i would turn it off and back on and WHEN it would brew it would drip real bad after the cup was made.. then say "Not ready" and the word "Prime" in the right top corner.. i researched a little online but nothing i tried worked.. ended up going to the store and exchanging it for a new one (i had only had it about 5 months).. but i want to know if anyone has had this issue or knows what it means so i can avoid it happening again.. i am spoiled to the thing and can't imagine mornings (and evenings) without it

Just start reading this thread backward and you'll read all about it. Keurig is very good about replacing their brewers when they have problems, but they do have problems with their pumps. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to call them soon enough so that your machine is still under warranty so that you don't have to beg and plead for them to fix it without you having to pay for it. We're on machine #3, but we had to buy machine #2 cause machine #1 lasted waaay too long before it died. #2 started acting up in way under a year.

Just got back from Bed, Bath and Beyond with a coffee pod drawer! For those of us in small living spaces this is awesome! I never bought a carousel because it was just another thing that would be sitting on my limited counter space. This is MUCH better because the Keurig sits on top of it and the cups line up very nicely in the drawer. It fits 36 cups.

You used a coupon...right?

Of course...does anyone buy anything there without one?

DH just bought some apple cider cups by Grove Square (I know...not coffee or tea) that are sweetened with Splenda. I just looked at a couple of boxes, there is a breakfast blend we have from Timothy's that doesn't have any sweetener of any kind in it. Green Mountain Coffee (we have had their island coconut and wild mountain blueberry) says that none of their flavored coffees have sweeteners of any kind.

We've never bought the K cups from BBB...always online. Much better deal and much bigger variety.

I don't think I've ever seen the drawer, we don't have a Bed, Bath, and Beyond in my town, but next time we're in a city that has one I'll have to look. That sounds perfect for my house!

You might be able to get it online from BBB. The mgr at the store said that they were selling like crazy around here.

I love it, it's perfect for my situation.

As for the DD coffee discussion, I think I'm going to stay away from the k-cups at that price. If I really need a DD fix, I'll buy a bag of the ground and use it that way. I really don't want to reward that price point with a purchase.

 

[SamSam]

Thanks, I'll check on line.
