Couple yrs. ago I bought a Keurig coffeemaker. Really liked the coffee. Then got to thinking. My wife and I have a cup in the AM and another in the evening. That’s 4 cups/day. At .50/ cup it adds up to $60/month for coffee. Took the Keurig back.

Personally, I love my Keurig. I found that as a single person living alone and using higher end ground coffee or grinding whole beans; Dunking Donuts or Starbucks or other higher end beans as I prefer using, in my regular coffee maker, I was wasting a lot of coffee, poring a lot down the drain. IMO, it’s hard to brew a decent amount of coffee for only one or two cups without making it too weak or to too strong in most conventional coffee makers. I also like sometimes having just one cup of coffee in the evening so making even a small pot of coffee, I ended up wasting a lot and it ended up being more expensive overall than what I spend on Keurig cups.

On weekends when I drink more or when I have company, I use my coffee maker but for a quick single cup in the morning before I go to work or on those evenings after work when I just want only one cup, I love my Keurig. I also have the Keurig Vue so I can make single serve lattes and tea and iced tea and iced coffee and brew to various sizes and strengths and temperatures. And I buy my Keurig cups via my Amazon Prime account which is somewhat cheaper, with free shipping, than often what I could buy them for at the grocery store.

I also enjoy single cups of coffee and have Keurig. I bought the really cute single server with filters so that I can use my own coffee and I don’t have that plastic waste.

This is environmentally friendly single cups at a great price.
