We received the Keurig k50 as a gift this Christmas and we LOVE it! I have actually never owned a coffee maker before this one but we heard great things about it and it definitely lived up to the hype. The coffee/tea/hot chocolate pods are very easy to find in many different stores and there is lots of variety available. My favourite is the laura secord mint hot chocolate. The only negative in my opinion is the volume of each size. It has 3 size options to brew and we always use the largest one. We must drink out of larger than normal coffee cups because it doesn't ever seem to be enough of a caffeine fix for me. The positive of that is that the machine warms up the water and brews quickly so if the cup isn't full enough we just brew another small one to top it off.
