My favorite is the Green Mountain Nantucket Blend. I don't like strong coffee either and I really like this one.

I don't own one but I agree with the Green Mountain one because I like a mild coffee, I had some at a store that provided coffee to customers and it was really good. I think I made it a 10 oz cup.

Mine is in the closet.

Bought myself a Mr. Coffee.

I use Maxwell House coffee and man the taste came out significantly when I switched coffee makers.

I have a question about the Keurig coffees.....they come in liquid form, in little containers, yes? Does the Keurig coffee maker do anything besides mix the coffee with hot water? In other words, could you just pour a container into hot or boiling water and get the same result?

It is grounds in that little container and I believe the hot water is not only hot, but pressureized...sorta like a french press.

It's ground coffee.

You can purchase, which I did, a reuseable coffee filter and use your own brand of coffee.

I like Green Mountain Colombian Fair Trade Select the best. I also drink the Nantucket and Vermont Country. The Paul Newman decaf is very good.

I love and use only the Paul Newman Bold but it is very strong.

I have to second glenda al. Mine is on the top shelf of the pantry. I also have the reusable coffee assembly. I didn't find a single one of the 48 k cups that came with the unit I liked. All were too strong. Some I could run three times the water thru and a couple only two to get it drinkable for me. After experimenting a little I found the right amount of coffee to make a decent cup with the reusable thing, but, cleaning it out and refilling for every cup was a pita. JMO

I went back to my Mr. Coffee and now turn off the heating element after my second cup of the morning. I'll drink another 2 or 3 cups later in the day.

The concept is good if you find a brand & strength you like. It's just pretty expensive though. The price per cup is higher than brewed and your grocer probably won't carry the particular k cup you enjoy so you will have to remember to order them before you run out.

Timothy's Original Donut Blend. Not too bitter, not too weak, and not acidic.

Dances.

That makes more sense. I don't know where I got the idea it used a condensed liquid.

www.yahoo.com, click on "Finance" at the left.

In the little box, top left, labelled "Get quotes", enter "gmcr".

When the info comes up, there's a little box that shows the price levels of the stock for the latest day.

Under that is a list of times ... click on "6 mos" or 12 mos/1yr" ...

... or whatever.

Green Mountain - and Keurig - stock hasn't done too badly, lately!

ole joyful

I am addicted to coffee....No.. Maybe its even worse than that because the only liquid I drink is black coffee from the moment I get out of bed in the morning to my last cup on the nightstand when I turn in.

As a consequence all my friends and family feel some sort of compulsion to keep me supplied with all the latest bells & whistles in the coffee pot market. Last xmas I got three coffee makers and on my birthday in April I got two more, and what do you suppose I got for Fathers day? You guessed it, another da#@ coffee maker. This has been going on or about 6 or 8 years so you can imagine how many coffee makers I have piled up around here, and these are not cheapies either, one of those machines has a retail price of over $900. Would I pay that? Not even if I won a million in the lottery.

As if that was not bad enough, every time ppl come to my house the drag in a bag of the latest gourmet blend or some off the wall blend that even common sense should tell you not to buy, by example, have you ever tried French Garlic Blend?

As a courtesy, while the guests are still here I generally set up the new machine and make a pot of their super blend just to try it, but alas, I am like Glenda, when all is said and done, I always go back to my Mr.Coffee, which I bought at the dollar store for the whopping sum of $12.

Now in regards to coffee grounds. Out of curiosity I just checked in my pantry. I presently have 29 bags of Gourmet blends, Light roast, med roast, dark roast, French Vanilla, Irish cream, Austrian Mocha, Turkish, Egytian, Cherry blend, peach blend, apple blend, Southern Comfort blend, Cajun blend (boy that one is an acquired taste) French Garlic blend........ Garlic blend? What were they smoking when they invented that one? Japanese blend, German Breakfast coffee, and the list goes on and on and on.......

As my brother would say, I like my coffee like my women, Hot, Black & Strong! Don't even think about putting cream, milk, non dairy creamer, sugar or artificial sweetners in my cup. A good tasting cup of coffee will stand for itself and doesn't need all that help.

I like a fresh brewed cup of coffee that has a rich full bodied coffee flavor, but is not harsh or bitter and God forbid I should be stuck with that ink black, acidic mess that some folks call coffee. The only thing worse than that is when ppl leave a couple cups in the pot overnight, then nuke it in the microwave in the morning, but then they usually add so much milk & sugar they end up with a mocha shake instead of a cup of coffee.

My absolute first choice of coffee grounds is 8 o'clock coffee that comes as roasted beans in the bag and you grind it fresh at the store, or even better, at home if you have a coffee grinder.

My second choice, although it is nearly impossible to get where I live now is "Community Coffee" which is made in Mobile, Ala. (It should be noted that Community Coffee rated #1 on a blind taste test of 100 brands of coffee by consumer reports)

Then its;

Folgers-original roast
Maxwell House-original blend.

Occassionally I like to drag out my tiny Espresso Maker and make a cup of Espresso using Folgers which I have ground down to espresso powder.

NOW A WORD OF CAUTION FOR ANYONE PLANNING A TRIP TO NEW ENGLAND.......

The first time I went into a local coffee shop in New England I ordered a cup of coffee.
Waitress says "regular coffee?"
When she said regular coffee I was imagining all the nasty gourmet blends that are out there and I said, "Yes, regular coffee"
A minute later she returned with a cup of coffee with cream and sugar in it.
I said, "What the he## is this, I didn't order a milkshake"
She laughed and said, "Your not from around here are you? In New England "Regular coffee" has cream & sugar, "Light coffee" is cream only, "Sweet coffee" is black with sugar, and "Black Coffee" is Black coffee, although nobody drinks that...LOL)

I got some Turtle flavored coffee for Christmas as well as the Keurig one cup doffee maker with an adapter so I can brew my own coffee. (The turtle candy flavor, not the critter.) It was way too flavorful with the carmel and chocolate and maybe nut flavoring. Rather than throw it out, I blended it first with a pound of regular coffee, but it still was too strong, so I added a pound or less of decaf. While I have tried the Keurig cups, I agree that many are too strong, but then I like a milder coffee than most do. So I am still using up that flavored coffee. By the time it is gone, I may find that I have retrained my taste buds and that I like a little flavoring in my coffee. Might try a shake of cinnamon some time with regular decaf.

I love my Keurig single cup coffee maker even though the coffee is more expensive and it's not very environmentally friendly to throw away all those little plastic cups. But I have one cup a day and it is just so convenient. The Donut Shop coffee is very mild.

Buy your own reuseable filter and your own coffee.

I have a "Kitchen Selectives" single cup coffee maker that came with it's own coffee mug, for just $10.00 at Fred's discount.... and I use Green Mountain Breakfast Blend in it. It came with it's own little filter.. I love it.. and the price was just right.

I finally found the one i really like. It's Green Mountain Nantucket, mild and tasty...

I am glad you found the coffee of your choice.
