Any recommendations on k cups?
I bought Newmans Own today, and the filter you can use with your own coffee.

If you plan to make use of the reusable k-cup then might I suggest: http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/products/coffee

Order the whole bean and grind it yourself. This is what I do. K-cup for mornings on the go before work OR grind and french press for a slow morning at home. Fantastic and knowledgeable roasters that do a great job.

I also keep a stock of Sbux k-cups on hand for slim times. They aren't bad and the bolds, Verona especially, tend to be tasty enough. My issue with a lot of the k-cups you get from the store is that they are often too weak. Surprisingly the Foldgers Black Silk, crazy I know, tastes pretty decent.

I like the Caribou coffee dark roasts. Like Dunn, I find most of the lighter roasts make for a weak performing cup of coffee.

I like S-bux French Roast, brewed to the second largest cup you can program.

Do any you have issues with how fast it is brewed? I mean with regards to the taste. It's always tasted burnt to me. It's been a while since I have had coffee from one, so maybe this has been improved.

Roast your own and use a my k-cup. Keurig is ok if you are the only one that drinks coffee, but the temps not quite high enough to brew excellent coffee imo (keep it on the highest setting - 196 IIRC).

When I was buying cups and using mine (it's stowed in the basement at the moment) I liked some of Timothy's brand. Van Houtte (Spell?) was ok too. Recommend buying the smaller packages until you find some favorites.
