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.  <\/p>\n<p>Ever since then I&#8217;ve been thinking about getting one for home use but I couldn&#8217;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&#8217;s usually some waste and you pretty much have to compromise on the strength with whoever you&#8217;re sharing it with.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s much less than the pre-made K-Cups and you can control the strength.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend Betty and I bought one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.keurig.com\/brewers\/special-edition-brewing-system\" title=\"Keurig Coffeemaker\">Special Edition<\/a> version at Bed, Bath, &#038; Beyond.  We love BBB because you can use the 20% off coupons even after they expire.<\/p>\n<p>Betty didn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone else living here thinks it&#8217;s great too.  Now I&#8217;m wishing I&#8217;d got one sooner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometime earlier this year my work got rid of the regular coffee pot and bought a Keurig single cup brewer.
