Computer, UHH, and Keurig - that's how I start my day. After more than ten years, the ON/OFF switch on the Keurig is becoming temperamental. Two days ago, Amazon had a one-day sale on the basic Keurig - $60. It will arrive today. I use refillable K-cups, so each cup cost just a few cents.

Jerry I held off on going Keurig for many years. Now that I'm the only coffe drinker in my house I bit the bullet. Sorry I didn't do it earlier. What a convenience, and the coffee selection is great. I buy k cups when on sale and its not that expensive.

Have to chuckle, our Keurig would not stop making coffee.......
Replaced it.
Love the convenience.

I love mine, can't imagine life without it.
I use the basket filter rather than cups, it's cheaper even if I run the cups through twice. And I can vary the strength.

I use aeropress myself. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

I've yet to have a good cup of coffee out of a Keurig, haven't tried them for a while so maybe the new one s are better, my favorite, Sunday morning coffee, is Chemex, all glass, heavy filter, pour over, next is an ADC, that's for everyday, Bob.

I'm a happy camper
Never started drinking coffee

So I don't have to fork out money for the coffee or the coffee maker.
The money I save can be spent on scotch.

Only appliance that we could not do without. My day starts the same way.

Received a Keurig for my birthday almost ten years ago - it lasted up until last year when it lost its ability to measure the amount of water needed for any setting. Replaced it with another from Costco and kept on trucking.
We've found "San Francisco Bay" coffee to be the best for our tastes, strong yet smooth. Always get a couple good cups from one pod.

Bought a Chinese knockoff single Kcup brand from Amazon for about $40 about 2 months ago. Makes up to 12 ounces. Still working so far. Favorite coffee is Texas Pecan from local grocery chain HEB. Keurigs are probably made in China too.

The only problem with them is they are unfixable. Keurig dies not make parts available so when my top of the line model puked within warrenty they sent me a new, cheaper model. I didn't have to wait for the water to heat up on my first one if

Wait, should this topic be posted here? I don't want to be admonished again.
