Oh man, I couldn't live without our Keurig. I have never liked the taste of coffee, but my husband introduced me to using whipping cream and sugar in it around the time I started doing daycare, and now...I have about 3 a day. Coincidence? I think not! :)
It's definately what I look forward to the most in the morning, and what gets me out of bed in time...I want to be able to have at least have a cup in the quiet before my dckids start to arrive and my own wake up. Whipping cream in coffee will certainly not help our figures, but I soooo don't care!
I have really been liking the Folgers Morning Cafe recently, and also Timothy's Breakfast Blend. Also the occasional cup of tea at naptime.
Oh how I have tried to drink less coffee...LOL. But I always go back up! I drink about 2-3 large cups eveyr morning...not usually any in the afternoon. I try to start the day with a cup of warm water and lemon to hidrate and energize, but then I follow it with the coffee...LOL.
About the turmeric...it is also a powerful cancer fighter/preventer, so has many many benefits :)
I bought a box of 80 VanHoutte House Blend Kcups at Costco last week for $40. I thought that was a great deal.
I think the VanH Houseblend is my favourite so far.
I haven't tried whipping cream in the keurig coffee yet but I definitely put half and half cream (10%) in it each time.
I have noticed that the hot chocolate Kcups leave a lot to be desired so I put half and half or whipped cream to top it up. It makes all the difference to make it taste better.
I never thought I would be such a coffee lover - I just love the Keurig and considering it only takes 1 minute to make coffee now is perfect because I can brew it while the kids are having a snack if I need a pick-me-up.
We've found that the K cups can get quite expensive. We bought some of the reuseable cups and grind our own coffee.
I hear you !!! We made sure that our Keurig came with the reusable cup where you can put your own coffee. We had every intention of just using up our sample kcups and then switching over and using our own coffee powder....but 5 weeks later and we have yet to do that.Quote:

Spixie, that is our favourite as well (the van houtte 80 for $40). The kirkland brand is 100 for $40 but we don't like the flavour as much.
We do well with the reusable kcup for a month or so and than get lazy and go back to buying the cups lol.
I know every once in a while we go back to the k cups also and I agree they def are super easy especially first thing in the morning!
So I'm trying a cup of tumeric today. I put in 1tbsp and some honey. Is there any other way you ladies drink it? I'm not sure if I can drink the whole thing, the taste is not my favourite LOL
edited...well now I see!!! 1/2 to 1 tsp LOL I'm dumping this cup and making another with less tumeric haha. I knew I should have checked this before making it!!!
5LM, even in the smaller amounts, it's still kind of gross. But it helps. I find it it is also keeping me sane with my back and shoulder. I can't imagine how crappy I would feel without it right now!
