I considered purchasing a single-use unit for about a year before buy this Keurig unit. I did quite a bit of research as well. The price of the coffee "K-cups" seemed high in comparison to using a drip coffee maker with filters and coffee beans. However, I am tbe solo coffee drinker in my household, and I finally realized that compared to the cost of what I was wasting by throwing out at least 8 oz. of coffee each morning, plus the filters and the time spent grinding beans and cleaning both the grinder and the coffee maker, the single-use cups were not that bad a deal. I was a bit worried because reviews on the K-cups were mixed and I am a picky coffee drinker. I like strong, well-balanced coffee and I was fearful I would end up not liking any of the coffees available as K-cups. After weighing all the pros and cons and looking at several different brands and models, I bought this unit, and I am so glad I did. I didn't realize until I was setting up the unit that it had a 48 oz. water reservoir - so much more convenient than having to fill a pot or container every morning. The coffee has been quite good, too, and there is a huge variety of types and flavors, something else I really did not realize until I searched on Amazon for the K-cups. The coffee is served at exactly the temperature I want, quickly and easily. And finally, I am so happy not to have the whole routine of making coffee and then cleaning up afterward.

This is an excellent machine, intelligently designed and well engineered. Like most people buying the machine, I wanted to be able to have a cup or two of coffee each day without brewing an entire pot. Not only is it simple now, but the coffee tastes better than anything I ever brewed with my regular machine.

I was skeptical when my wife mentioned this machine. Coffee from small cups, I saw this at Stop and Shop with Green mountain, it was alright but that was a commercial machine. When we purchased it I was surprised, it was quick and convenient, a little pricey for the k-cups but not that bad. I bought the special filter for ground coffee, that was a big plus for me as I like a certain brand that does not sell product in the k-cups. I can't drink coffee any more even decaf for medical reasons but my wife uses this machine twice a day. Quick tip, if you have the special filter, you can use it for herbal tea of jam a couple tea bags in it and run it through the machine. It taste just as great as any type of brewing method, except it is super quick.
