Keurig K350 2.0 Coffee Maker

I am a big Keurig fan, mainly because it allows my wife and I to have the type of coffee or tea that we each prefer. She likes coffees toward the espresso taste and I don't care for that taste at all. With a Keurig we each have what we prefer.

Cost is all relative for each of us. My brother in law was giving me a hard time about the cost of my Keurig coffee when I pointed out to him that the previous night at dinner, I had watched him drink an $8 glass of wine in the restaurant. He had two glasses, which I pointed out was more than what I spent on a week's supply of Keurig coffee.

I recently bought a 2.0 Brewer and it has some problems in that some of my older supply of teas, don't have the ring around the outside of the K cup so won't work in the 2.0 machine. See YouTube, as mentioned above for a hack to solve that problem.

As I understand it, Keurig's patents on the K cup machines are expiring or have expired. Keurig is owned by Green Mountain Coffee, a Vermont based company. Just recently I read that the large German holding company that previously purchased Peets, Seattle's Best and Caribou coffee companies, had just agree to purchase Green Mountain Coffee including the Keurig brand. The 2.0 machines appears to me to be an attempt to force users to buy K cups only from Keurig or others they have licensed to sell K cups. If the OP can fine a Keurig Brewer, that doesn't have the 2.0 as part of the model number, I sure recommend getting that model, such as a K 45 machine, which Amazon and other suppliers still have in stock.

We replaced our earlier model 78 with the Keurg 2.0. It has the fill your-own cup your post address. Great unit with many features we like.

Always look to Youtube first

I noticed one comment at that location:
"For the regular coffee drinkers, going the K cup route will typically ended costing you $70 PER POUND OF COFFEE!!!. The reason corporations continue to **** the public is because the public welcomes it with open arms.....do the math."
myself I have a Hamilton Beach IIRC that makes single cups on one side and a pot on the other.

Keurig and Community Dark Roast for me.

Enjoying one right now while catching up on RV.net but not with the Keurig. I found I had to pack the reusable cup full to get it strong enough. Community Dark Roast is a close substitute to Blue Mountain.

My Keurig.....I use the single and the larger refillable pods.

Keurig and Community Dark Roast for me.

yep.

Keurig website has a My K-Cup for sale that is compatible with the K 2.0 brewers for $15.

I like "cowboy coffee", strong enough to take the rust off a horseshoe.
My Keurig 2.0, with Folgers Black Silk or Maxwell House Bold, set on "strong", comes close.
It doesn't quite do the job, but it comes close enough.

The more I read about the ongoing Keurig fad, the more I'm convinced that people don't truly have a desire to drink good, high quality coffee. People just don't know what they're missing...

And of course, good beans are required too.

I got a Keurig 2.0 for Christmas and the refillable cup works just fine in it. I get 3 or 4 perfect cups of coffee every morning of whatever taste or variety I want at the moment. I have a perfectly fine coffee maker you can have; I call it the 10 minute flavor destroyer. After 10 minutes sitting on the burner keeping the coffee warm, the coffee tastes like I made it with yesterdays work socks. I don't know about you, but I want a good cup of coffee every time. Why? Because I'm worth it. Your welcome to your cheaper coffee, but for me, no thanks.
