dont buy the kuerig

[Gman]

I'm on my second coffee maker in 21 years. Picked up a Cuisanart from Costco a few years ago. I make my coffee by the pot. For what it costs me in Boyer's beans and filters, I figure I'm way ahead of the game for my coffee budget.

Love mine. Works great! Come on over, I will give you a free cup or two!
In fact I am enjoying one now......

On a side note, I can see where the Kureig machines might be useful if they work well with these. Any of you Kureig users use the "K-Cup"? If so how's it work?

I use my K-cup with fresh grounds all the time and it works great. A little extra work to clean up, but I love it.

The true story of the keurig:
The well water is terrible, thats why we bought a water cooler. I know its hard to walk the extra 5 feet from the sink to the water cooler.
"We" wanted a keurig. I will not have u slander my name and blame your caffeine withdrawl on me. Its my birthday. While you sit there and pretend like you never liked the machine I will remember what you said while drinking your first cup from it, "Its so good I want to stick my penis in it." Youre so dramatic.

PWNED!

Those cuisinart ones are great and will last forever.

Single cup coffee makers like a Keurig are cost effective if you only drink 1 cup of coffee a day (especially if you buy the cups from a wholesale place like Costco or use your own grounds... gets it down to about $.40 per cup or less). If you drink more than one or two 8oz cups a day, you should probably just brew a traditional pot of coffee. If you like good coffee, buy a french press and learn to use it.

I bet you lift your pinky when you drink it too....

I do. Your point?

I have a couple of french presses. Tastes more like an Americano...but cleaning those things is a pain. Also requires a coarser grind.

With the drip maker, you just have to wipe it out once every couple of months whether it needs it or not. Just dump the filter with grounds and rinse. The one we have also has a timer to automatically brew in the morning and an adjustable thermostat to keep the coffee hot for hours.

We fill our travel mugs and put the rest in a thermos. Keeps us in excellent coffee through the day. The cost probably averages to less than $.50/pot.

My cuisinart has been problem free

Ditto. Makes great coffee. We have a Delonghi 15bar for espresso (Latte for her, Americano's for me).

They're both more work than a push button, but sure beat them on flavor.

Mauled by the Mama Bear! Damn...verbal beat down in the First Degree.

Mine is a piece of crap also. Cannot keep the water tank without it leaking all over the damn place.
