I got my Keurig coffeemaker a few months ago and LOVE it! I, too, am drinking MUCH more coffee--at least twice as much caffeinated and also 1-2 cups of decaf. It is so much fun finding the coffees you like, and also being able to make different coffees as the mood strikes.

That being said, I won't use the cocoa, didn't even use the one that came with the maker, because I don't like the ingredients.

Right now I am just finishing up a cup of Green Mountain's Dark Magic, my new favorite. Previously I was drinking Diedrich's French Roast combined with either Green Mountain's Sumatran Reserve or, preferably, Coffee People's Organic. I have yet to find the perfect decaf.
