We love our new Keurig. My husband is the only coffee drinker and he only drinks a cup or two on the weekends. I would end up cleaning the coffee maker and throwing away the rest of the unused coffee. Even a small can of coffee grounds got stale before he could use it up. Works for us and I don’t have to clean anything.
I did order that little thinga-ma-jig that allows you to use any Kcup. It’s $1.99, free shipping and comes with a 3 cup sampler. Haven’t tried it yet.
I also bought 4 tupperware-like reusable Kcups from Amazon this week.
My husband likes being able to try the different brands and flavors before committing. Now we just have to lobby Keurig to allow an ala carte menu where you can put together your own variety box and purchase the cups singly. Sometimes you can get a 6 pack sampler in certain flavors but if you don’t like it you are stuck with 5 cups.
It sounds almost perfect for your situation, but that is a rare situation.
It used to be that someone in that situation might drink instant coffee, but while the Keurig isn’t equal to fresh ground beans, it sure is better than instant.
