    That's what Milligan's mom said.

    Sorry. I have nothing substantive to contribute to this thread.

    Green Mountain Coffee's "Donut House" Bold

    There are a ton of "Donut Themed" coffees, Donut House is my personal favorite. There's mild, Medium, and Bold, so since you like it strong, obviously try the bold.

    There's a joke in the title somewhere.

    Caribou Blend. From Sams Club. Around 80 for about 40 dollars.

    By the way do not put the hot teas or the hot chocolates thru. I swear the sugar in the blend jams the needles up and will cause the machine to produce halfcups.

    My go to is Golden French Toast. Tastes like french toast with melted butter and syrup. Makes your car smell great too.

    It took me a while, but I've finally settled on the Starbucks Pike Place. Unfortunately they're relatively expensive, but the best by far, IMHO.

    My go to at work was always Double Black Diamond. I would drink a cup of this and take two Pain Away Tablets and I would be good to go until lunch. Of course, that is a lot of caffeine between the two.

    I second this.

    At any given time I probably have 10 to 12 different k-cups on hand. I mostly drink Timothy's Donut Blend during the week or Donut House Chocolate Glazed Donut. There are some of the seasonalflavors that are so good that I buy enough to last year round. My wife thinks I am a little obsessive with my coffee assortment.

    On a related note, I have been toying with the idea of starting a Facebook page where people can exchange k-cups so that they can try others without buying an entire box. Or if they bought a box of a coffee and did not like it, maybe they can find someone to give it to instead of wasting it.

    If you like it strong, there's a brand called "Emeril's Big Easy Bold". I also like one called Barista Prima Italian Blend. Very strong. Dunkin' Donuts sells its own brand of K-Cups, and there's one that's a dark roast. I like the Hot Cider, too. What Gurgi said about the non-coffee cups (like hot chocolate or tea) clogging up the needle is right, but you should be fine if you run a hot water cycle through after you brew with the cup.

    I do love my Keurig!

    We bought my in-laws a Keurig for Christmas, but someone else bought them one and gave it to them ahead of ours. My wife and I are both coffee drinkers (typically one cup in the morning, maybe a cup after dinner, sometimes two cups on a weekend day) and prefer flavored coffees over the bold/strong brews like Starbucks. We're still debating as to whether or not to keep it. If we can get K-cups (in bulk) for around $.50/each, I might lean toward keeping it.

    First, you do not need coffee.

    Second, Amazon has good deals and free shipping via supersaver or prime.
