OT - Keurig owners?

[lumpy08]

Did you get the platinum of the special edition at Kohl's?

Is there really a big difference between the two?

I just got a GREAT deal on one on kohls.com It was $81 for the unit and 3 boxes of the pods. You have to use your kohls charge, and the 30% code is holiday30 and the free shipping code is mvc7935 good until this tues.

HTH,
Michele

How did you get this deal? The cheapest pot they had is $149.99 less 30% is $104. Which unit did you get? Thanks!

I also have a Keurig and LOVE it. One of the best purchases we have made.

My husband and I both use travel mugs for our ride to work so we bought the Platinum. It makes a 12 ounce cup. It is the 199.95 model. We also use this size at home because we use mugs.

Just something to think about if you are thinking of buying a Keurig.

the only thing i don't like is how noisy the machine is. ours sounds like a coffee grinder and shakes the whole counter top when it starts up. i can't complain though other than that. i also love making hot cocoa with the machine. yum!

I had the same problem with the noise/vibration, so I stuck a folded dishtowel under it and it has helped a ton! Before that, the thing would vibrate itself across the counter. But my mom and sister have the same machine and never had that problem. Go figure.

Just remember that when it makes larger cups, it's just sending more water through the same amount of coffee in the k-cup, so it tends to be weaker.

I like my coffee REALLY STRONG, so the larger size really doesn't work for me unless I'm using the Newman's Own Extra Bold K-cups or something else that brews really dark. Most of the time I'll just brew 2 small cups (using 2 k-cups) in my WDW refillable mug in the morning.

This is true, I should have mentioned that. I don't use K-cups too often so I didn't even think of it. I use the K-cup attachment with my own coffee.
Thank you for posting that.

oh, great idea! i was thinking of buying some kind of foam from the craft store to put under it, but a dish towel is better, we have so many! haha.

it must be the type of counter or something why it makes all that noise? weird.

In my case, the type of counter is "original builder's 1986 counter top complete with peeling backsplash and chipped corners"

that's exactly the same as ours! haha. it MUST be the counter tops then.

I guess so! Oh how I wish we could re-do the kitchen...just not in the budget right now. I guess the dish towel under the coffee maker is a little more affordable than new counter tops.
