We got a Vue as a gift and didn't think we would use it..... It's makes awesome coffee. We use the store bought cups but much the more cost effective and better tasting way is go buy great beans, grind them and brew in a reusable filter. It makes a consistently great cup of coffee with minimal effort. You can even make capuchin with a Vue.
Cant blame them for wanting to profit from the consumables, that's where all the money is.
Just me and my Mr. Coffee here.

I absolutely hate Keurig with a passion, we went out, and bought a 99.99 and 6 months later the damn thing just broke! The coffee sucks, and is not even strong!! Blah!, Then we went with Mr.Coffee, that broke after 6 months, and after buying all of these crappy coffee makers and them breaking after 6 months, (no lie!), we decided to go with French Press, sure you have to wait on the water but we've had a french press for 4 years now,and I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon!

If your Mr. Coffee doesn't work because it gets slower and slower brewing, run a couple of cups of vinegar through it about five or six times to remove the mineral build up. That fixes ours. Been using the same machine for 6 to 8 years.
I do hear people claim presses make the best coffee but I have not tried it. Maybe I should.edit on 3/4/2014 by roadgravel because: typo

I also use a reusable filter, but in the keurig.
I have an old Corning ware percolator but it does 6 - 8 cups. The keurig, with the "my k-cup" reusable filter is great for inexpensive coffee, or fresh ground, one cup at a time.

The price of a cup of coffee with that machine is more than what it costs to make a pot of coffee in a regular drip coffee maker. It is too strong too.
LOL....thats what the wife says. She actually prefers a brand called 9 oclock (whole bean, columbian). not so bueno.
The benefit of a dark roast coffee is that the additional roast denatures the caffeine, rendering it "less powerful" than a lighter roasted coffee. Breakfast blend, or a medium roasted arabica (like your standard variety, ground coffee) will tend to have more caffeine than a cup of a darker roast like the starbucks french, sumatra, or verona.
I dunno..i drink a LOT of coffee from my keurig.

I thought that was called 8 o'clock coffee. Maybe someone created a later version for those who don't like getting up early.
