Pod coffee machines

[Tiggeroo]

I need some advice. I am a full time substitute teacher. Because we are all subs our schedules are all over the place. We share our office with several office workers. We would all like a cup of coffee during our breaks but keeping a pot going does not work. We are also on a budget.
I would like to purchase a used pod style coffee maker on ebay or a yard sale. I figure with a pod machine we could put the water in and each come in and make a cup when we want. I need to know what type of pod machine will take all different types of pods, particularly ones that can be purchased in the grocery store. This way each of us can buy our own pods and keep them in our purse or bag. We could just stop by during break and have a cup of coffee. What brands of pods are best? What ones have creamer all ready in them?

Keurig are widely available in grocery stores, Walmart, Target, etc. I don't know of any of the pods that have creamer in them (none that I've ever tried, at least). I'd suggest going to Sams/Bjs and buying the ultra pastuerized mini-creamers that don't need to be refrigerated and keep those with your KCups to use as needed.

This is good because these are cheap too. It will upset people of they think I went put and spent a bunch of money. But around halfway through my day I want coffee.

How Lon do they take to get hot

Tassimo has the creamers that go with the coffees. I love the Starbucks lattes. It can get pricey, 8 starbucks expresso cups with 8 creamers usually runs 10.00. Tassimo also has reagular coffee (Seattles best) for about 8.00 and if you need milk/creamer for your coffee you can buy them separate too.

How Lon do they take to get hot

When you first turn the Keurig on, it takes about 2-3 minutes to heat up and be ready to brew. Brewing takes maybe 30-40 seconds? The machine (at least the model I have) will stay hot and ready to brew for something like 3 or 4 hours before it turns off automatically.
