I got rid of my Keurig for an old school coffee maker. Just tastes better and is cheaper.

I hear that a lot, but I don’t drink coffee for the taste. I drink it to get my day going. The k-cups I have taste good enough.

We use it in the morning. We have French presses at our work because we have access to instant hot water.

Finally, got my wife to throw that bacteria cesspool away. I don't drink coffee. No way I could justify the expense of Starbucks.

Zero

I don't use the thing, but it's plugged in.

Uh 1?

Also just go buy the K Cup adapter so you can use your favorite coffee and use the ground beans as opposed to paying so damn much

The inventor of the K-cup regrets inventing the contraption because of all the waste it produces.


He also probably regrets selling his invention to Green Mountain for only $50k.

I like the convenience of k-cups, but they get pricey.


they can be found much cheaper at places like sams/costco/amazon, but youre right, youre paying more per cup than using bulk grounds

before the k-cup patent expired several years ago, there weren't any deals to be found at all...it's much better now

Winn Dixie usually has bogo. Still cheaper than going to a coffee shop.

I don't mind them, I usually get community if it's on sale or the 8oclock italian. It's easier on my stomach. And when I go that route it's usually 24 k cups for $6-$7.

If they aren't running a sale, I'll get just a bag of ground coffee and use the other adapter.

Not cleaning it out isn't an option if you want more coffee. I used it 3 times. Same thing happened when I had it at someone else's house. It's just a shitty filter. Maybe it wasn't OEM not sure. I cant remember what brand the re-usable cup was

I don't like mine too strong so I actually use 1 k-cup twice in a large coffee cup. Just lift the handle and start a 2nd brew. So you can get 2 cups out of 1 kcup.

Well you are kind of a dummy if you thought you were saving money by getting one.

My 16 dollar Mr.Coffee manual coffeemaker loaded with Community Chickory blend makes as good a cup as you can get anywhere. 4 heaping tablespoons of coffee to six cups= half pot. A cup of coffee =5oz
