Keurigs- coffee question(s)

[keyslover]

I love my local coffee and grind my own beans.

I also love the idea of being able to brew one cup at a time. 

Can I combine these loves easily? 

Would it be worth it to ditch my old coffee maker and get a cool new one?

I don't have Keurig, but I'm 99.731% sure that there are reusable cup things for you to use your own coffee, and it's a lot less waste than using the k-cups all the time.

Yes!  You buy what they call  "My K-Cup" and fill it with your own grinds.  Easy peasy.

Hmmm Merry Christmas to us!  

I think I want to go this route.  DH makes entirely too much coffee every morning and it is a waste.  He thinks he needs it, but never does drink it all.

We use the reusable k-cup 90% of the time and honestly I hate it. It's a hassle to have to clean out the cup every single time I want a cup.

It is strange at first, but the coffee is so good from this. It cleans up super easily and its as fast as a keurig, Once you boil your kettle it's less than a minute to brew a cup.

I love my Keurig.  I use the Reusable K cup and grind my own beans.  Super easy to use and I don't find it all that messy or difficult to clean.

Lol! How is it a hassle? You scrape out the coffee, rinse, fill and pop it in the keurig! It takes a minute at most!

I love my Keurig for the ease of use but this is very tempting. I bet the coffee IS delicious!

This! Especially if you like your coffee stronger as you get shots out of it & can add water to make an americano.
