coffee pot question
Permalink  
 

I'm thinking about buy Dustin a coffee maker for v day.

I'm trying to decide if I should splurge on a keurig or get a cheap one.

I don't drink coffee at all. He usually buys a cup from McD's on his way to work in the am and was saying he should buy a pot to save money.

So is it worth the money for a keurig? And if so, which one do I buy?

Also, I'm guessing k-cups cost more than regular coffee.

HELP!!!!

Keurig is the way to go. If he is not a huge coffee drinker it is perfect and cheap. Plus, you can do teas, hot chocolate, etc. You can make ice tea drinks in summer, etc.

It is perfect for a one cup in the morning guy. No worry about brewing. Just put the cup in and hit a button!

i agree with melissa.

the k-cups cost around 40c each when you get them at a good price.

you can usually score a keurig for not TOO expensive at kohls, etc.

when you register your keurig at keurig.com for the first time, you get 2 free boxes of k-cups when you pay for 2. totally great deal.

mini is a PITA.

it doesn't have a tank, so you have to pour in water EVERY time you brew a cup.

i had one on our boat and it's fine for tight quarters, but for daily use, i wouldn't recommend it.

i have the elite and it's good.  the only thing i wish it had was the iced coffee feature.  if he doesn't drink that, he'd probably be fine with the elite.

I have a mini at work and it is good there, but I only have a cup here and there. I have the platinum at home and it has the ice feature on it.

Costco has the best price on the platinum by me. It is I think like 139.99, but also comes with 76 k-cups to try out.

I do have a kohls charge. I just checked their site and didn't see that. Is it in store only?

I probably need to go tonight if I'm going to have it in time for v-day.
