I had been a faithful Keurig owner from the time they first came out, but I finally gave up on them last year. The different coffee makers I've had really haven't lasted over two years and I began to fret about the amount of cost and waste I seemed to be experiencing. I bought a good grinder, found a reasonable, medium brew bean I like and went back to French press and haven't looked back. I didn't realize how much I'd acclimated to substandard tasting coffee for the sake of convenience.
