Keurig? No Thanks!!!
On this year's Black Friday in Madison, Wisconsin I came across some (not so) good deals on Keurig Coffee Makers. I looked at them and was baffled that anyone would want only ONE cup of coffee? I have a small 4 cup coffee maker (ya know, the old fashioned ones where you actually pour in the coffee grounds) and often times I have to make another pot because one is not enough! Also, I tend to like my coffee very strong and to personalize my flavor by adding cinnamon, pumpkin spice, vanilla, or other flavored coffee that I even grind myself, *gasp.* $150-$200 for a coffee maker just seems a little outrageous to me. Also, in order for those little "k-cups" to be affordable you have to buy them in bulk. What if I get busy trying to teach myself CSS and forget to order another bundle of 80 k cups on amazon and have to go without my coffee? The whole idea of these one cup coffee makers is annoying, BUT I must say whoever was involved with the marketing did an alright job. They are getting people to pay MORE for a coffee maker that makes LESS! Genius. Ok, well I'm going to go back to my handmade cup of coffee from my Mr. Coffee maker (circa 2006). Have a caffeinated day!
