I forgot to mention in my last response as to the cost per cup of coffee in the Keurig. It's not $10.00 a cup as someone probably told you. The K-Cups average about $0.50 each and will make up to a 9-12oz cup of coffee depending on your strength preference. Still pricey for home brew though. The way I do it probably is around $0.10 a cup, maybe less.
We also sell the DIY cups for those who refill them and I was wondering how they would work with the 2.0 but, since the machine is hackable, I guess that pretty much explains it...
Looks like we might have a budding home-roaster in the works
If you can find one of those poppers, you'll have fun with it...

I'm a grocery stocker at a Walmart - I've stocked a LOT of those Keurig cups - I based my "$10 for 6-ounces of coffee" bit off what I see when I stock them - The net weight of the package vs the price tag attached... It varies, but it's usually somewhere around 6 - 7.5 ounces of coffee for anywhere from $9 - $12 a box. I wasn't looking at the per-cup cost as I never did the math LOL.... Of course, some of that cost is the packaging itself...

That being said, any of the robusta coffees from Africa would work (there's a peaberry from Tanzania that I really like, for example) - you can also get a smooth and bold flavor profile from the arabica coffees - Guatemala and El Salvador come to mind - a blend of those two coffees presents a nice, drinkable cup of java. Colombian is a favorite with a lot of folks and I've used Colombian in a blend with Nicaraguan coffee to tone it down (strongest and boldest coffee I've ever had the pleasure to drink came from Nicaragua.) Kona is another possibility, but we've had issues getting the Kona beans from our suppliers so, we tend to not carry it.
To get an idea of what beans we carry, here's our website: RayJen Coffee Company Main Page
There are other sites, of course - Sweet Maria's also sells green bean to the home roaster. Shop around until you find what you like.
To give an idea of how complex coffee flavor profiles can be, here's a wheel that helps describe it: https://counterculturecoffee.com/doc...heel_85x11.pdf
Hope this helps.

The last four ships that I was stationed on, I got a hold of a few of these: http://www.kclcutsheets.com/PDF/AM/p400-p300.pdf and when combined with an interlocking coffee grinder, it makes a wonderful pot of coffee.
The best store bought commercial beans that I've ever used was an Arabica / columbian blend that came fro SYSCO Foodservices.

This is the new standard for commercial coffee brewers - We just set 3 of these bad boys up for a local golf course - at around $10k each...
