Keurig or not to Keurig?

I have been thinking awhile about getting one of those fancy one cup coffee makers since my sister bought one for her hubby for Christmas two years ago. I have to admit, it makes a fine Mocha Latte! But the calories! Ugh!!
I have two simple reasons for not having succumbed to the Keurig-Tassimo fascination. Reason one is simple...I am trying to lose weight and some of those drinks have a high calorie count. Reason two is the cost. I drink A LOT of coffee and I love the variety of flavoured coffees offered by Keurig in the form of the famous K-cup. It would cost me a fortune to feed my caffeine addiction! The first time I tasted Timothy's cinnamon pastry coffee at a colleague's school, I was absolutely smitten!! I fell hard and and I fell fast. I couldn't wait for Christmas to come so I could get one and sample all these fabulous flavours! But did I?
Nope, I didn't! I even had one in my shopping cart at the local Home Hardware, but I just couldn't do it! Did I really need another appliance crowding my counter space? I am not going to answer that!
I was bummed. I really wanted one, but it really wasn't in my budget right now. There had to be other flavoured coffees out there somewhere on this planet besides the old standbys of vanilla, hazelnut or irish cream. I just had to look south of the border! This is where eBay comes in handy!
And let me tell you...the Peppermint Mocha coffee from Godiva is completely worth it! And I get pots and pots of it, if I wish!! There was also a lively pumpkin spice that was described as absolutely divine! Maybe next time...
Do you like flavoured coffee? Own a Keurig? What's your fave flave?
