[Porsche-O-Phile]

I got one as a birthday present last year. Mixed feelings. I had and still use a regular drip coffee maker daily. I buy whole bean and burr grind it - that or a French press is my preference. I got one of those insert things for the Keurig but find it doesn't fit well at all so it's basically junk. I'm stuck with prepackaged "coffee".

The Keurig works fine and if I have a lot of grownups over (which is seldom but it does happen) it's useful to have different options for everybody. I find the coffee to be stupidly expensive - you're paying for plastic throwaway packaging which I hate the thought of doing.

They're easy, simple, convenient and clean which are all plusses. The thought of drinking pre-ground coffee that's been sitting around bugs me a little. The packaging thing drives me crazy. I'm actively trying to reduce the amount of trash / packaging / plastic I end up with as a result of buying things (which can be staggering once you pay attention to it). I don't want to think I'm contributing to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch either - a direct result of too much plastic in our world.
