I resisted and resisted as long as I could, I stalked the aisle and am probably seen in countless security vids dating back a couple months...in multiple stores!! I was able to talk myself down time after time, using excuses from "I'm not much of a coffee drinker" to "it's too expensive" to.....well the excuses were numerous! The biggest excuse I could come up with and deterred me the most was the fact that my disaster zone of a son would have the thing in pieces long before I would get my value from it...well, he moved out recently, and took with him the best defense against buying this!
What...you may ask....is "this"? Well, the Keurig brewing system, of course! I finally broke down and bought the elite which is sitting on my safe right behind my computer desk lmao. Now, I know I know, I've already heard the laughs and the gasps about the price of these units AND the K-cups, but it all boiled down to what ol' Roddy wanted and I wanted something I could trust to make good coffee every time. I am NOT much of a coffee person, but I DO like fresh and tasty coffee as opposed to bitter, burned tasting...and only recently found such home brewed coffee when a friend got her Keurig. Anyone here have one?? These beauties deliver a fresh cup of steaming hot coffee every time, tastes just like at the coffee shop!! The price of the unit is a bit more than other units, but not so much more that it's outrageous, the other unit I was looking at was only $30 less.
I have gone through the sample pack of K-cups and found a few were really strong, but each had a flavor you could actually taste instead of just bitter coffee and aftertaste. At roughly 60 cents a cup, you definitely don't want to be buying packs you end up not liking, so I am getting more sample packs and using the My K-cup feature which allows me to use my own coffee. Funny enough, I found the best cup of coffee yet is the Gevalia espresso roast...just like the coffee I love after dinner on cruise ships! I just happened to see it in the coffee section and thought I'd try that....it's in bag form and I use the My K-cup. I actually bought 3 bags of different flavors/roasts of coffee and have them in glass containers sitting beside the coffee maker, almost looking like a coffee shop now :rofl: :rofl:
Anyone have a favorite flavor of coffee?? Share...if I find it in the stores, I may give it a shot! With the purchase and registry of the maker, you are able to buy 4 boxes of K-cups for the price of 2, I got a couple sample packs and some Green Mountain...strong stuff! Oh, and while I've only had this puppy a few days, I can safely say I think it's a good value for those who like good coffee every time!
Ooops, Gevalia is done and steaming..... :ciao:
