Sometime earlier this year my work got rid of the regular coffee pot and bought a Keurig single cup brewer. At first I was skeptical that it would brew a good cup but the first one put my mind at ease. It makes a really good cup of coffee.
Ever since then I’ve been thinking about getting one for home use but I couldn’t justify it because of the cost of the coffee. The coffee comes in things called K-Cups which are single use and typically cost around $0.50 each. A pot of coffee is less than that if you drink it all but there’s usually some waste and you pretty much have to compromise on the strength with whoever you’re sharing it with.
Then a few weeks ago Jenny told me you could get individual filters that you could refill so I started looking into it. Seems the individual filters are around $0.10 each so with a teaspoon of coffee each it’s much less than the pre-made K-Cups and you can control the strength.
Last weekend Betty and I bought one of the Special Edition version at Bed, Bath, & Beyond. We love BBB because you can use the 20% off coupons even after they expire.
Betty didn’t really see what the big deal was until we brought it home and she started realizing how versatile it was and how easy you can make a cup of coffee, tea, or even hot chocolate.
Everyone else living here thinks it’s great too. Now I’m wishing I’d got one sooner.
