I love mine and have had it for about a year. Yes it is more expensive but I use coupons for Bed Bath and Beyond for better prices. I use the Keurig on days I work and my regular coffee pot when I am off so it's a little less expensive that way. I absolutely LOVE the iced tea and all the flavored teas that are offered. DH found a brand new one at a garage sale for $10 (yes TEN) and I took it to work. Everyone chips in and brings in K-cups so it's not that big of an expense, and way less than Starbucks which we all were addicted to before I brought in the Keurig.
