My husband, being the thoughtful and practical man that he is, surprised me this year with a Keurig for Christmas! Prior to owning one myself, I completely missed what was so awesome about the machine. And being the frugal gal that I am, I made an assumption that the individual K-cups made it too expensive to give a second thought. But it turns out, for people like me, it's not actually that much more. On a typical day, I only drink a single cup, so I ended up wasting the rest of the pot anyway. Before purchasing it, my husband did a little research and discovered with the Keurig each cup comes to about $.60 (since you can buy large cases of the K-Cups at Costco), making it just pennies more than a traditional coffee pot!
After having the machine for nearly two months, I am a complete Keurig convert! I can't stop singing its praises because not only does it make great coffee, but clean-up is so easy. While I don't generally mind a little more work for a little savings, in this case, the convenience makes it totally worth the slight cost difference! I love that at any given time, I am exactly one minute away from a great cup of coffee (even if I happen to have a sleeping baby in my arms) and there is no waste! Plus, it has definitely upped the frequency of my hubby bringing me coffee in bed-always a bonus!
It's also good to know that it makes more than coffee, but K-cups come in tea and hot cocoa as well!
Bottom line: The Keurig was the best gift I never knew I wanted!
Anyone else on the Keurig bandwagon? What are your thoughts?

I love my Keurig! I'm like you, I only drink one or two cups in the morning so it's the perfect way to go. Have you seen the thing they make that you can put your own coffee into. Takes a little extra time/clean up but it ends up being a little cheaper in the long run and I especially like that I can get coffee from my favorite places that don't have k-cups(Peets!)
i have a keurig too. i LOVE it. i agree, it's so awesome and convenient. i never knew about them until i started working at my office - they have a giant fancy one!

Yes, I actually got one of those with my machine! I haven't used it yet, but I'm stoked to know I can use it for loose leaf tea as well as my own coffee! Thank you,ladies:)
