Just switched to using the machine for hot water to make French press with good ground coffee. Much better. Wife still drinking the k cups crap.

My roommate got one of the newer 2.0 Kuerigs and it tastes like absolute shit. It has a horrible burnt rubber taste and is completely undrinkable. We went back to my original Kuerig.

How bad of a cook must you be too burn Keurig?
It's impossible... The roast is what tastes burnt...

I find that extraordinarily unlikely. The same roast tastes just fine in a last generation Kuerig. Matter of fact the 3 different roasts that I tested all were fine in the older Kuerig yet all tasted like burnt rubber. If there's a cooking method besides filling it with water and pressing the flashing light please inform me. Thanks

Isn't a tea kettle a better choice? Works for me, anyway.

Yup and goes off when it is set too. And makes good hot water.

Comment from recent CNN article: Angelino’s Coffee based in Los Angeles offers an ongoing $.39/Kcup deal with free shipping and get a 24ct box of selected flavors. It’s shipped directly from the roaster.

In the office we just got some variety that is just the top and the bag, no "cup." San Francisco Bay from Green Mountain.
Tastes like ass. More specifically, burned coffee ass water. Since Green Mountain blends are, generally, within a range, I attribute the assness to the lack of cup, meaning the brewed coffee has to run somehow through the nasty pod holder to get to my cup. Which is pretty nasty.
