I live about ten miles from them....but never tried it. Perhaps I'll give them a try.
Wife bought a Keurig

I haven't used the Keurig since we bought the Nespresso. Rather comical!!
Nothing wrong with the Keurig at all. I just LOVE something closer to espresso. My wife and her friends use the Keurig. Plus next Thursday we are having a small gathering, both will get a workout.

What pods are you using in the Nespresso machine?
A variety. Still exploring.
Caffeinated:
Nespresso seems to be winning, came with unit. But expensive.
illy makes great coffee in all other forms, but I find their Nespresso pods lackluster
Peet's. Those are good! But have not tried all varieties
Decaf:
Both Nesspresso and illy not great
I have 3 different decaf brands coming today!
Early phases of testing!
Yup. Peet's is good. Their Crema Scura was my favorite.
To me, Keurig coffee be like.
Just no on pods.
Pods are always filled with stale coffee. (Same with canned coffee.) The reason for this is because freshly roasted coffee releases CO2 and other gases as it ages after being roasted. This is why higher end coffee comes packaged with one way valves in the sealed bags. If they didn't, then there is a risk that the bags would burst as the coffee degases. The fresher the roasted coffee, the more it degases. This means that packaged coffee in completely sealed containers like cans or pods must be "pre-staled" before it's sealed.

Fill your own pods. Problem solved.
Had Tim Horton's Breakfast Blend via Keurig branded pods in a Keurig machine which let you select one of three "water levels".
The instructional cup was a 10 oz. mug. I selected the middle level for my second cup.
Both were zipola in the flavor department.
I take solace in the plastic waste I created.

Coffee is a personal thing. If you’re married it’s one more thing you don’t agree on. Wife is a pod fan with a one cup Keurig. I prefer a daily grind with a hand grinder and a French press. No one wants to die on Coffee Hill.
If I was Sam Eliot, I could just make it cowboy style and filter the grounds out with my mustache.
What is AM reusable holder?
Aftermarket- there are multiple brands

I look forward to your comments. I've been using Nespresso machines and pods for several years and find them acceptable for a quick afternoon pick-me-up but somewhat lacking when I want a "real" cup, such as my morning jolt. The pod machines are also nice when guests stop by.
I've been thinking about trying reusable capsules, so I'm interested in your thoughts about them, too.
We are talking about Keurig pods, no?
The pods are leftovers from what goes in bags and cans of ground coffee. Floor sweepings.

Yes. While I use Nespresso I'm interested in your experiences with Keurig. While the machines are not the same I'd imagine they are similar enough that some of your experiences may br similar or may give me some ideas.
That’s just stupid.
Hardly close though
