      We have a Bunn coffee maker and love it! I buy McCafe ground from Costco, it’s the coffee McDonalds sells and it’s quite nice! Our Costco’s have two large coffee bean grinders, located by their snack bars and self serve pop machines.

        I have a Mr. Coffee and I love folgers brand coffee. They have a dark roast you probably would like being you like strong coffee.

        I like the medium roast myself.

          Just want to put out there that I used to be a Kuerig user. But it started to taste musty… even after I cleaned and cleaned it.

          Well… I literally took that machine apart… and low and behold mold in crevices.

          Places that cleaning could not touch. Yuk.

          Back to a French press and no expensive pods.

          Which also add plastic to our landfills. No preach… just a thought.

            Do u have the universal cup that fits Keurig?
            It’s allows u to use ur own coffee rather than buy the pods
            That’s what I used to use when I had a Keurig

              I like my standard Mr. Coffee. If I tell you how old it is, it will pick this week to die. I brew a big pot during the week for my work thermos.

              I use the Keurig on the weekend.

                We buy Peet’s or one of the local brands from our Costco. They both come pre ground for the beans we like.

                When Peet’s is on sale we buy like 4 bags and freeze three.

                We prep it the night before, set the timer and wake up to delicious hot coffee.

                And it’s such a money saver!

                  I actually find that the pre-ground Kirkland brand Columbian coffee in a can is VERY strong.

                  We use it in the office at work and I have to dilute with way more creamer than the coffee I brew at home.

                    The more fine the grind, the more flavor you get when it comes to a drip maker.

                    My favorite coffee is from blue craft coffee roasters. It’s all online sales with $5 flat rate shipping.

                    Amazing coffee that is always smooth and never bitter.

                    We get it ground to fine/espresso and boy does it ever have great flavor in my opinion

                      I’ll admit that I’m a coffee snob. I’m extremely fussy. I like good quality, medium to strong coffee.

                      Trader Joe’s has a medium roast bag that’s very very good- about $5. Cheap!

                        I love percolator coffee but we can only order them online and two issues. First, they are not lasting very long.

                        They stop keeping the coffee hot, then they stop making it at all.

                        We used to get quite a few years from one but we are replacing them after a year or so.

                        Second, we can’t buy the cleaner for it anymore, anywhere.

                        So, we replaced our last one with a drip maker and it’s just ok.

                          Coffee snob here. Aldi’s breakfast blend is usually on sale for $3.99 bag and $4.99 reg price. It’s pretty good.

                            We’ve tried everything! If you want your good strong coffee then you’re going to have to stick with the Kuerig!

                                  I get Peet’s French Roast ground through Amazon Subscribe & Save. 18 oz. cost me $8.82 this month, which is less than 12 oz at my local grocery store.

                                  I’m not a coffee snob, but I like it strong and consistent.

                                    Trader Joe’s has great coffee at reasonable prices and you grind the beans there.

                                      We just bought Kirklnad beans last week ,but we usually use pods. I have a small grinder and grind up a few quarts at a time

                                        I have purchased reusable pods for our Keurig. We buy the beans from Costco and grind them at home.

                                          I have a Ninja coffee maker. It’s $200 but it can make anything from a single cup to a whole pot. It can make iced coffee, hot tea, and iced tea too.

                                          I enjoy the customized settings so I can make exactly the amount I need.

                                          It takes regular ground coffee and can do loose leaf or tea bags. The filters are reusable.

                                          It also makes it very quick. No waiting around to fill my travel mug.

                                          It comes with a measuring spoon that tells you how many scoops you need for the amount you want to make.

                                          It’s been worth the investment because I’m no longer buying k-cups or filters, and wasting coffee.

                                            I like Boston’s best and I use the reusable cup for huge savings. It works great in a French press as well.

                                              Done with Kuerig, replaced Mr Coffee with a percolator. Makes good coffee and keeps it hot.

                                              I have been buying Aldi German roast coffee for a few yrs now

                                                I boil water in a kettle and use a french press with freshly ground beans. It’s really not that much work.

                                                I can make as much as I want, as strong as I want and use the grounds in the garden.

                                                  Chock full of nuts coffee is the best. In all grocery stores. Goes on sale frequently.
