Keurig: The Pros & Cons

Yesterday I shared with you that we had been given a very fun birthday gift – a Keurig coffee maker – and now today I want to share with you some of the pros & cons of this great little appliance.

The basic overview of this item is that you have the ability to brew only one cup of coffee at a time.  It has turn off/on features just like some of the traditional models, and a water storage tank.

The Pros:

1. It makes 1 cup at a time making it easy for a quick treat anytime of day or night.
2. There is a whole lot less mess to take care of.
3. Can make coffee, tea, hot cocoa quickly and with one machine.
4. You have the option to still use ground coffee.
5. Heats the water in just mere seconds.
6. Gives you the ability to cater to your guests desires – no more 1 pot of caff and 1 pot of decaff!
7. You and your spouse can have exactly what kind of coffee you want each morning – no debating over what kind to make – you each get your own!
8. Water tank keeps you from having to fill it with water every time you want a cup.
9. Save money from making too much coffee and ending up throwing out the unused.
10. No more filters to deal with.
11. Every cup is hot and fresh!

The Cons:

1. Only 1 cup at a time instead of a whole pot.
2. Slightly more expensive depending on your usage and habits.
3. Takes up a little more space than the traditional.
