I forgot about this thread.
But as a follow up, I bought the Keurig for my son. He brought it over one evening, and I bought one for him too.
My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed the Keurig. My son and I have bought different varieties, and I love trying new blends, rather than sticking to the same one all the time. My wife and I could never decide on a similar coffee that we both liked, and we had various coffee makers, single makers, etc., plus beans and grinders and different bags of coffee sitting around.
Now my wife loves the hot chocolate, I like different roasts and varieties, both regular and decaff. The coffee takes about 30 seconds to make a cup of coffee and its always piping hot, flavorful and delicious. I feel bad about not recycling the k-cups, but it is so darn convenient not to mess with coffee grounds, cleaning etc. And I have a refillable device I can grind my own beans too. But I usually don't, I like to make it and go. There's a water reservoir, so you don't have to add water every time you use it.
