So sick of all the cry babies in this world. "It costs too much" - then don't buy it! "They make me buy their cups" - no one made you do anything!

I have one; I buy the cups bulk at Costco. It's not cheap but its extremely convenient and easy to clean.

I don't care if it's $1000/pound of coffee. I am not buying a pound of coffee. I am buying a convenient, hot cup of coffee that I make by inserting a cup, pressing a button, coming back in a few minutes and throwing the cup away. It's fantastic.

The Keurig has an on-demand hot water feature that I use for instant cocoa and instant oatmeal. Faster than a tea kettle.

I’ve tried the lemonade and iced tea but it doesn’t make sense to brew something hot and then have to cool it off. You need twice as much ice as you would if you just made it with cold water.

I agree. We get the Sam's Columbian and the convenience.

If I want to brew a specialty cup, I will roast it in my roaster, grind it and choose the proper brewing device for the type of coffee. That all takes time and planning. The K-Cup is a one minute brew affair. That is the draw for the device.

I think Keurig learned a lesson that convenience has a price limit.

He they didn’t tell me how much the razor blades and ink cartridges for my Keurig would cost.
