Mr. Stroller bought it for me for Christmas this year because I have about two minutes in the morning before baby Stroller needs to eat, NOW! I use each k-cup twice, but in the same mug of coffee. So I'll brew 10oz into a big travel mug, open the lid and brew another 10oz. If the second brew is weaker, I don't notice because it's mixing with the first, stronger brew. </p> <p>@Mrs. Wagon: Donut Shop is my favorite too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-144359 Tue, 01 May 2012 20:55:19 +0000 mrs. wagon 144359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally love my Keurig! funny story... I kept insisting that I needed one, especially as a SAHM, but Wagon Sr. kept hesitating. Then I went away for a weekend and he was alone with Wagon Jr., and when I came back, ta-da! There was a brand new Keurig in our kitchen. Haha. I like to say that he finally understood the need!! ;)</p> <p>My favorite coffee is Donut Shop. I'm not big into tea but I do love the Chai Latte k-cup and the hot apple cider!!</p> <p>I've never re-used K cups but it's an interesting thought...</p> <p>We also have the "my k-cup" so we can brew our own ground coffee or loose leaf tea. Wagon Sr. likes to use that for his strong black coffee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-144353 Tue, 01 May 2012 20:47:19 +0000 Sweet T 144353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: yummmmm! I love when Starbucks has the pumpkin spice lattes over the holidays. I know you can get them year round but they're never as good during the other seasons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-144150 Tue, 01 May 2012 17:57:46 +0000 heffalump 144150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay for getting a Keurig! I love pumpkin, obviously also available during the holidays. But I stocked up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143941 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:30:52 +0000 Honeybee 143941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE my Keurig! My favrite coffee flavor is "Golden French Toast," but it's only available around the holidays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143937 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:28:43 +0000 Sweet T 143937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rachel: good idea! I don't think I'll be reusing them for coffees but the teas seem to do fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143908 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:08:37 +0000 Shutterbug 143908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sweet T: Oh - one thing I thought of - since the k-cups get poked in the top and bottom, you might want to take it out (cover the holes) and shake it around before you reuse it - I think that the water goes straight through and there's probably some unused grounds on the sides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143879 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:41:47 +0000 Sweet T 143879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@volksgirl64: Timothy's Cinnamon Pastry sounds yummy!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143874 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:38:10 +0000 volksgirl64 143874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE my Keurig!!

Excited for that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143812 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:05:30 +0000 meaganceleste 143812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only use the cups once, but I usually only have one cup a day.</p> <p>I use my Keurig much more often to make tea. I'll just run it without a k-cup in over a teabag in a cup. Love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143806 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:03:17 +0000 littlebug 143806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only drink one cup per day, so I don't reuse the K-cups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143802 Tue, 01 May 2012 13:58:09 +0000 sorrycharlie 143802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't reuse either - I have a little filter. I love it for cocoa, like @his barista said! I haven't drank much coffee this pregnancy except for frozen coffee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143794 Tue, 01 May 2012 13:52:02 +0000 His Barista 143794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use them multiple times. We have the part that allows us to use regular coffee so I grind my Starbucks. : ) I love it! Its great for heating water for cocoa too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143793 Tue, 01 May 2012 13:51:09 +0000 Meridian 143793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sweet T: I already had my 2 cups today (using 2 separate Kcups), so I'm definitely going to try re-using tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143789 Tue, 01 May 2012 13:48:40 +0000 Sweet T 143789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rachel: I had one of those from the sample pack and thought it was really good!</p> <p>@LAGS: It was really exciting! We had some things come up around my birthday (at the end of March) and I told him I didn't want anything. These were my belated birthday presents! :) I wish the reusable filter was part of the Keurig package. I'll have to get one of those too!</p> <p>@sweetchic: no problem! I haven't tried it with any of the coffees yet but I did try it with the tea last night and it was still just as good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143771 Tue, 01 May 2012 13:38:27 +0000 Meridian 143771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was always a fan of my grind n brew coffee maker until it kept breaking on me. Then I switched over to a Keurig and I LOVE it, SO freakin' easy! And THANK YOU for the suggestion of using the kcups twice! I'm going to have to give that a try... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143758 Tue, 01 May 2012 13:32:24 +0000 LAGS 143758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used to use them more than once but was getting tired of wasting two cups for our larger travel mugs, or just not having a full mug of coffee. So now I'll brew once on the large setting and once on the small or medium and I find it tastes the same (I drink my coffee black though... so I dunno if you'd notice a more watered down taste if you add in cream/sugar).</p> <p>We really like the Donut House or Coffee People cups, but mostly use the reusable filter with our own coffees.</p> <p>P.S. I'm jealous that your husband brought you home a Keurig and pots and pans!! I've been dying for some new pans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143757 Tue, 01 May 2012 13:31:56 +0000 Shutterbug 143757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! I use my Keurig every morning. I think you could probably use the k-cups twice in a row (for two cups) if you wanted to, but I guess it would depend on how strong you like your coffee. My favorite K-cup is this kind <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Coffee-People-Medium-24-Count-Brewers/dp/B006N3HZL0" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Coffee-People-Medium-24-Count-Brewers/dp/B006N3HZL0</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keurig-and-kcups#post-143747 Tue, 01 May 2012 13:25:10 +0000 Sweet T 143747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH surprised me last week by coming home with a Keurig and some new pots and pans! It was so exciting!</p> <p>I'm obsessed with my Keurig now! It's never worth it for me to make a full pot of coffee. I love being able to make it by the cup. I tried the Celestial Sleepy Time tea last night and can't wait to buy some more!!!!</p> <p>I'm curious though. Do you use a Kcup more than once?<br /> The Keurig website, of course, says they are meant for one-time use but I think they could be used twice if you wanted.</p> <p>What's your favorite Kcup?!? </p>
