It looks sleek

It is the lazy and expensive option when I prefer this and this but am having a hard time finding the grinder

I've used that exact one and it always is mal-functioning. I have the basic Keurig for over a year and love it. No clock, programing, or water resevoir. You can buy an insert to fill with your own coffee which helps on the expense. If you make only a cup at a time, I think it works out cheap enough when you aren't wasting half a pot or trying to brew a small quantity and not getting a consistent brew strength.

I'm not a coffee drinker but Anomaly made the exact point I was going to. Just get the adapter to use with whatever coffee you normally drink. Much cheaper than K cups. I have several friends who own Keurigs and they love it, but they all have also invested in the adapter and use the K cups more as a treat. You can also use it for making loose teas if you're so inclined.

Ill jsut take this vending machine, which grinds and brews your coffee while you watch the live camera

I love my family's french press. We get the coffee ground a different way when we buy it (we don't grind our own), and it works perfectly. My family is from an area of the country that likes their coffee to "stand up and talk to them" and the french press works perfectly.

how much coffee do you have to have before it starts talking to you!?!?

[MIKolbe]

Average ground coffee
$8.99 per pound, the cost of a cup brewed is 25 cents if you assume 42 cups per pound and an average of 15% left over coffee in the pot that is tossed.

Single use K-cups:
Packs of 48 cups for $24 after sales and free shipping or 50 cents per cup


How much will it cost over the course of a year of drinking 2 cups each day?
Answer: $182.50 for bagged ground coffee; $365.00 for K-Cups

We put in two scoops of community coffee with chicory!

It starts to yell if we put in anymore.

It depends. I usually end up buying coffee in the morning. If I bring in k-cups to work bingo, I just saved somewhere between a dollar and like 4.

[Maximilianus]

What advantage do Keurigs have over regular coffee machines that would justify the expense if you are not using the cups?

the price breakdown helps. I only drink one cup at home a day, the croutons at work doesnt count

[cmaD2006]

Max ... a regular one cup machine would have almost the same effect. You're right. A one cup machine would be cheaper with just about the same amount of cleanup.

do you add liquor to your coffee?

[Maximilianus]

I think my gandma still uses a pot and strainer.
