I use both the K-cups and the "make your own". The secret with the thing you fill with your own coffee is to pack the coffee in HARD. Get a small spoon or a tamper tool thingy you use for a tobacco pipe, and pack it in. You won't get coffee grounds in your drink.

For me, I love it because no muss, no fuss. I live alone and used to waste a lot of coffee making half a pot and not drinking it all. Now I can have a perfect cup. They are a bit expensive, but the cost evens out. Also, always hot when it finishes--big plus.

My favorite coffee is the Barista Prima Italian Roast--yum!
