Is the Keurig here....

hammondc · 01-04-2013, 06:07 AM

I do not have one, but have considered it. I tried to go off the coffee cliff, but just never got far. I like my sugar and milk with coffee in it, so it doesn't make much sense for me to go roasting my own etc. Starbucks Sumatra / Komodo Dragon is fine for me. Thats right, I love the Gurkhas of the coffee world.

I'm with the "it will stay" crowd. I almost exclusively drink espresso these days, but prior to that when I was drinking coffee, I'd never go through a full pot. One cup at a time is perfect.

I've been grinding beans and making full pots longer than I can remember. I'm a coffee addict. I picked up a Keurig a couple years ago and like it. Depending on the coffee you buy for it, it can make a decent enough cup.

For those times that I just want a single cup, it really shines. My wife uses it for tea occasionally, again when when she doesn't want to brew a whole pot. It has it's place.

I think it's here to stay...at least mine is.

People are always looking for a more convenient, time saving way of doing things and so I think the Keurig fits that bill nicely.

I don't consider myself a coffee connoisseur by any means, and that's OK with me. I love being able to brew a "fresh" cup any time I want one and it's great not having to deal with all the measuring and hassle (and waste) of making a full pot.

This is exactly how I feel. We got our's for Christmas.

We have one at the office. Works great for when we offer clients a cup of coffee, as it's always fresh.

At home, I'm too cheap to spend that much on a cup-a-joe. I brew a pot of Folgers. The whole pot costs less than a cup from a Keurig. At least, I think so. Never thought about it. But I've also never thought of coffee as an expense. I like my coffee cheap, and I like it with milk and sugar. The coffee snobs will probably turn up their noses at that, but coffee is one of those consumables (to me, anyways) that I choose not to spend more on than I need to.

I agree that it is here to stay. People like convenience no matter what the cost (price and quality).
