I would say it depends on how much you drink. I bought one for my husband, I don't drink coffee so I thought it would be better and not waste coffee. I couldn't have been more wrong! He started drinking a lot more coffee, probably 6 cups in the morning alone. When I figured out how much he was drinking a day of the "single" cups we were paying about $32.00 for a what would have been a can of coffee. The Keurig now has a spot in the cupboard not on the cupboard !
