Yeah, but then you have to empty/clean the filter and clean the pot. There is no question K-Cups are easier unless you have someone else to clean up after you.

Yeah lets just disregard the fact that you get a cup of coffee in 30 seconds.

You can choose your flavor and not have to make a whole pot.

Hehe kids burn mine up making themselves hot chocolate.

No cleaning.

Btw, the newer models come with a pot to make a full pot as well.

I use them over the weekend. My wife rarely drinks coffee and I hate wasting. Seems like too much hassle to use my coffee pot, so I just pop one in and take my hit of caffeine a minute later. During the week I have a Bunn and a Keurig at work. Haven't every used the Keurig here.

The dude is just mad that he got suckered into selling his business. He should have licensed the tech. Can you imagine making just one penny on every k cup sold.

My condo building has complimentary coffee in the lobby. It's not a Keurig but something I would describe as a huge stainless steel "industrial/commercial" keurig type thing. The coffee that comes out of it is terrible but I drink it everyday anyways.

Having a cup of coffee ready in less than 30 seconds is also pretty cool

We have one, but I only use it when I am in a hurry. It's like 5x the cost of brewing your own.

Guarantee you he made that deal without representation.


People are so dumb, they never want to spend a few bucks for some knowledge.

Enjoy your $34,000....

It's great for a person like me who drinks a cup or two every morning. I don't need to make a whole pot ever really. I know it's a tad more watery than say a fresh brewed pot, but the convenience greatly outweighs that for me.
