Yes the refillable K-cups.

Wife and I are a bit particular about our coffee and there are only a few that we like. Local availability is spotty. We had one dark roast we liked but they stopped making it.

Du Monde is at the top of the list but expensive when you add in shipping for a case. Last time we were in NOLA we brought home 2 cases.

I've used French Presses, not a fan and slightly skeeved out / traumatized by an experience with them a few years back.

And Pete, yes, creamer first. You are from Vermont. Ever go into a NY deli? Most make really good coffee. A long time ago I had noticed they always do the creamer first. Don't know why but one day tried it at home and the coffee was better. My FIL's family business was Deli's, they owned several. I asked him about it one day and he said the same thing, it's also more consistent for the customer.

I don't think I'd ever buy the prepackaged coffee. I've had it and not a fan to the point that the other morning I had to run my daughter to the orthodontist early. Sitting in the waiting room staring at the Keurig really wanting a cup of coffee but decided not to simply because I don't like their coffees.

My interest in the Keurig is I'm never sure how much coffee I'll want from day to day, sometimes one cup, sometimes two. Sometimes in the middle of the day I may want one.

Just seems easier than the regular coffee maker for anything less than four cups at a time.
