As someone who rarely, if ever, drinks coffee I thought about getting the setup for the easy one cup method of delivery and for the variety... until I looked at the associated costs, wow. That and the level of waste. Reminds me of that Futurama bit where Fry is making cookies then only eating the creme out of them. tongue

If you're a coffee drinker that only occasionally has one or two cups but never a pot, they make a little bit of sense.

Oh employer does. I mean they're alright but watery. I am not a huge coffee critic though so I am more echoing my office circle's vocal opinions as EVERYONE in my group grinds their own coffee now at their desk, lol. I have switched to drinking herbal tea now though

whats so conviet about them? you can only make one cup at a time, you still need to fill it with water time to time, and you still press a button.

i can make 1 cup or 8 cups of coffee with my maker, let it sit for hours, and still have hot, strong coffee

Never drink a full pot. Just cups every now and then.

If we are making more coffee we just use the machine for the instant hot water and fill the French press

Well, I should take that back. Turkish and Brazilian-style coffee > all, but French Press is damn close. And I don't even particularly like coffee.

I paid $50 for my Keurig, I drink probably 2-3 cups of coffee a week. it saves me money and time because I don't have to worry about forgetting to dump the grounds and end up having to sanitize the entire coffee maker everytime I want a cup.

I get a free pound of whatever coffee I want each week from Starbucks so I have no expense at all on actual coffee. I use the My K-Cup adapter that came with my machine which allows me to use whatever coffee I want so I guess I just don't see the problem.

My wife and I don't drink coffee - ever. Our oldest daughter actually likes a cup of coffee now and then. It didn't make sense for us to buy even a 4-cup coffee maker so we bought her the Keurig machine for Christmas. She enjoys it and it doesn't make a mess, nor does it make the whole house smell like coffee. We've brewed a couple chai tea lattes in there and some cocoa and it seems to do just fine.

If you get a good machine (I prefer the Cuisinart model) they are perfectly fine. The deal is, which I think the actual subject of this post is trying to be, you will spend far more in actual coffee using pre-packaged k-cups than you would with a typical brew machine. I am the only coffee drinker in my house and I always avoided these single cup makers for that very reason. When they came out with the reusable My K-Cup, I went ahead and got one and do not regret it at all. I bought it for the ease and convenience but only because I already get my coffee for free. The k-cups are just flat out a terrible deal and drive your cost of ownership too high to be practical.

I use one of these when I want the occasional cup of coffee. I limit myself to no more than 3 a week.

I gave up coffee a few years ago for health reasons (It sucked, went thru withdraws for months), can't have a regular coffee maker in the house (even had to box up my beloved french press) because I'll drink the entire pot every time I use it.

With that thing, I make one cup at a time. It's perfect....and I think I paid 2 bucks for it. I just heat the water in this , put some coffee in the above "sit on the cup thingie" and make a single cup of coffee. No muss, no fuss, takes about 1 minute from the time I start till I have my coffee.
