Keurig Coffee Maker
We have 2! (1 upstairs for coffee first thing in the morning, and 1 downstairs) My hubby loves coffee, although after having the sleeve-he doesn't drink it quite as much as he used too! We have always been Starbucks fans-so, we like our morning cup of coffee to be strong! We purchase Donut House coffee pods for our coffee. It is nice to just have a quick cup of hot water to make soup, or any kind of hot chocolate your purchase. We love ours!
Love, love, love my Keurig! We wore one out and are on our second one. If you are going to invest in one check out the one Cuisinart makes for Keurig. It is so much quieter and the tank is larger. I don't use the hot cocoa K-cups but rather just dump a packet of my favorite stuff in a mug and use the Keurig for the ho****er. In addition to coffee and cocoa it is great for oatmeal and hot tea because you get an instant mug of ho****er. My favorite K-cups are the chocolate glazed donut flavor from Donut House. If you like a strong coffee and want decaf they also make a good bold decaf. Right now I am sipping a cup of pumpkin spice flavor coffee. I like it during the fall. There is a blueberry flavor that is also good. My husband likes a very strong cup and his fav is Emeril's Big Easy Bold.

I have had several, startiing with the special edition version (the $170 one at BB&B), that broke, got the Cuisinart one, that lasted the least amount of time; then got the Breville one, which was very nice to look at on the counter, it didn't last long either.
I think my local BB&B's must have had a bunch of defective ones because I see people returning the every time I go there for k-cups.
I also have the Tassimo T-Disc machine and it makes great espresso, cappucino and spiced chai lattes. For regular coffee, not so much, except for one dark blend I am enjoying now. It's Kenya and it has the crema on top...so good!
For drinks, it's awesome. I originally got the Tassimo because they had Tazo Tea & Starbux coffees, but found out that the bux is making k-cups so I went and got the original machine I had and it's been a couple of months (I won't say any more out of fear of it ****ting the bed again).
I like the dark blends also, my new favorites are the Prima Barista French Roast and their Italian Roast...so dark, almost like a French Press coffee. I can't wait for the 'bux to release the tazo and coffee k-cups!!
I have not seen any sugar free cocoas.

LOVE LOVE LOVE mine!! I am a big fan of Caribou Coffee. I buy my coffee at Costco and get a box of 80 kcups for like $30 something dollars. (Much cheaper than the $11 I was paying for 18 cups at Walmart). My daughter likes the Toffee flavored coffee, The Cowboy is fond of Caribou, Donut House and Green Mountain.
I thought I would take a second to point out that you can get a little brewer basket thing for your Keurig. It allows you to brew whatever coffee you'd like (like Folger's) and can save you money. I think it was like $9. That was actually what made me get the Keurig over the Terrismo (I KNOW I am spelling these all wrong!). I have had mine since January, we use the HELL out of that thing daily and it's still going strong. =]
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Keurig!!! I'm a huge Caribou Coffee fan as well. I get my k cups from lots of differnce places....I stock up when Macy's puts them on clearance (found them for $5 a box). If you are interested, I'd suggest checking out QVC....they tend to have more "perks" with thier packages (mine came with the my kcup, 4 boxes of coffee and water filters) for the same price that it was in all the other places I checked. Also, QVC has easy pay AND if anything happens to it, you can return it and they will replace it (not to mention you get a 30day money back).
