That should last you a while :)

OK, but whats a K cup? :-\

K-Cup portion packs are used with Keurig single cup brewing systems to brew a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Each K-Cup is a plastic container with a coffee filter inside. Ground coffee beans are packed in the K-Cup and sealed air-tight with a combination plastic and foil lid. When the K-Cup is placed in a Keurig brewer, the brewer punctures the foil lid and the bottom of the K-Cup and forces hot water under pressure through the K-Cup and into a mug.

A woman after my own heart! That is so my kind of order! LOL Has she tried the Pumpkin Spice? It's seasonal..and it tastes really good!

We've got a Keurig, but we use their MyKcup that lets us use our own ground coffee. We love it. Had it almost 2 years now. You have to be meticulous in cleaning it regularly, other than that it's very easy to use

That beats the stash I usually have lying around, and that is quite a bit.

I have had a Keurig, almost since they started making them. I have hard water from a well, and find I only need to descale it maybe once a year. The MyKcups are a little messy, but do allow you to use regular grinds. There are now third party accessories that allow you to use regular grinds by just inserting them in the Keurig without having to remove the K-cup assembly holder. Maybe it is the frequent use of the MyKcups that causes the need for frequent cleaning.

They do make a universal pod that uses little paper filters for easy clean-up....

Somewhat larger than a double "D" I think.

The Black Tiger is my favorite, its a nice strong coffee

Habanero Smoker · September 17, 2012, 12:58:04 PM

My sister would love the universal pod that uses paper filters. She feels guilty using the K-cups because they are made of plastic and are not recyclable.

Thanks for those links.
