Two years ago, I bought myself the best birthday present ever, a Keurig. I love my coffe and have never been able to brew a perfect cup. When my SIL bought my daughter one for Christmas, I found the answer. My birthday came along and no Keurig for me, so I went out and bought my own. It is expensive, but not as much as buying a cuppa in town at a restaurant, or gas station and I can use any brew that suits my taste. Love it.
