Hasn't even been two months yet.......

and already we have had a problem with the Keurig.  Remember I wrote a blog post about it here.

One of the things I love is able to use my PC Great Canadian coffee pods, as that is my all time favourite coffee.

That coffee pod is not made by Keurig though.  So the other day I was making a cup of coffee and it flooded out of the top with water and there was no coffee.  Thought I had done something wrong, and/or there was something wrong with the pod.  Tried it again and it came out okay.  Tried it again the next day and same thing happened it flooded everywhere.  So I call Keurig Canada and the problem is the coffee pods.  They are recyclable and the filter on the pod is too thick.  So when the water is gushing through the needle it can't flow through the pod and filter so backs up.  Which then results in coffee grounds getting into the needle and cup and blocking up the needle.

{{{SIGH}}} So I had to flush out the coffee maker, clean out the needle and go from there.  I called PC to let them know about it, and this is the first they have heard of this.  They said they would pass on my concern to quality control.  Told them to get back to me.  So it will be interesting to see if they do.

I hope this is not one of many problems I have to deal with regarding my Keurig, as I have heard other people complaining about them.

Bit late jumping on this bandwagon!!

We finally bought a Keurig coffee maker in February.  How long have they been around; turns out 21 years as per this Wikipedia page.

My biggest gripe with the older Keurig coffee makers that the coffee was never hot enough, especially when you add milk as I do in my coffee.  However last year when our son and wife came to live with us for a short while, while their house was being renovated he brought along his Keurig and I found I used it a bit more.  Fast forward to us moving into the new home and our regular drip coffee maker was making an unusual noise when it turned on for dh's coffee at 4:15am.  Enough of an unusual noise that dh thought something was wrong with the water heater in the house.......turned out it was the coffee maker that was making this odd banging noise.

After much research I ended up ordering this machine which is the K-Select model in Volcanic Glass (grey) colour.  This had all the features we needed without being over the top.  I ordered it from the Keurig website and it was here within a couple of days.  I also ordered the Folgers coffee pods as they were on sale. (pretty funny don't you think making a coffee using a David's Tea Mug!!😉)

 As I already had a bit of ground coffee in the house I ordered the My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter so we can use the ground coffee.  I must say that was worth every penny.

I am a big fan of McDonald's coffee, so when I was placing an order through Amazon, I added a box of that to the shipment.  However my all time favourite coffee is the PC brand "The Great Canadian."  It is quite mild and very smooth.  Again bought it when it was on special.

Do you drink coffee in your house?  What is your preferred method of brewing your coffee and do you have a favourite brand of coffee?  How do you take your coffee?  Mine is milk, no sugar.
