I have owned and used more than a dozen coffee brewing devices and methods over the past couple decades; Braun, Krups, french press, steam driven espresso, Turkish (aka cowboy coffee), and recently Flavia (kinda like a Keurig or Tassimo). I have officially settled in with my Keurig. Yes, the cost per cup is a bit higher, but if you typically brew a full pot, consider how much you wind up pouring down the sink. Next, consider the effort involved to rinse out the carafe, fill up the tank, toss out the old filter with soggy grinds, new filter, spoon in the coffee and then wait for the pot to be brewed. The longer the pot sits on the hot plate, the funkier the coffee gets, unless you transfer it to a thermal carafe. Now, behold the instant gratification of the Keurig. Lift handle, drop in a K-cup of your choosing, drop the handle, push a button. In about 40 seconds you have a fresh brewed cup ready to roll. And guess what? It *tastes good*! Dare I say, tastes great. I'm one of the more snobby coffee drinkers I know and this is the only quick brew coffee system that I enjoy drinking. We used to have the Flavia, which was pretty good. I tried Keurig while visiting another work location and was sold. Another thing, you can get the permanent filter adapter that enables you to use your own ground coffee in a pinch. Very handy. I keep Starbucks beans vacuum sealed in the freezer just for such occasion. We troll e-bay for deals on k-cups or I'll hop out to the bed, bath and beyond and pick up a box or 2 if needed. <br /><br />Re: bread making machine, the honeymoon wears off very quickly and then you'll be sleeping in separate beds. If you want home baked bread, just make it from scratch. It's not that much of a hassle and like I do with my pizza dough, make it in batches and freeze dough for future use. Consider how many times you think you'll use a bread maker and divide the purchase price. Seriously, I used my bread maker about 10 times, then it collected dust, so that works out to about $10 bucks a loaf. Use that $ for a Keurig instead. <br /><br />~ JohnnyJohnny Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03328719019738458144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-258264544269215332009-12-13T09:33:48.670-06:002009-12-13T09:33:48.670-06:00*jots mental note*<i>*jots mental note*</i>Ruprechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00877547409686157948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-34352498923303380212009-12-13T09:07:31.239-06:002009-12-13T09:07:31.239-06:00A girl can dream, can't she?A girl can dream, can't she?Mary E. https://www.blogger.com/profile/04578356883575964675noreply@blogger.com
