Point well taken! I guess I answered my own question. Too funny!

It seems that these things are everywhere- I have been victimized by them countless times while traveling or on family visits. The only cup that is even passably drinkable I have found is the San Fransisco brand pods or kups or whatever you call them. How much harder is it to grind some beans and do a pour over and get a great cup and at 1/3 the price even with premium beans?
Here is my take on the Keurigs.
3. The Ugly
Keurig 2.0 won't brew 3rd party pods, forcing you to only buy their high price ones.
I have a Bialetti ZanZiBar, but have still not tried it out. Any tips that I should know about.I refuse to use kcups. We still use the old school Italian espresso maker on the stove
I'm not going to get into it here lest I get in trouble but THAT isn't a problem anymore
Many Americans will sacrifice money and quality for convenience.I was a fan of the Keurig when we first got one for the convenience but the flavor/strength isn't there for me. The k-cups are way too expensive in the long run. My family still uses the Keurig with the refillable basket for the coffee grounds and we keep a small assortment of K-cups on hand for guests who prefer something other than what I brew by the pot. I prefer my coffee from the drip coffee maker. Truthfully, I thought the Keurig would be just a fad but its lasted longer than I thought.
Then we'll end up with a 12 cup coffee pot... LOLI'm just afraid one day they will switch to a twin cup system that will render the current single cup design obsolete, then a tri-cup, five-cup...then one with turbo
I know i have. I really am not a strong coffee drinker, and find many kcups to be too strong for me, believe it or not.Many Americans will sacrifice money and quality for convenience.

Substitute "old/stale" for "strong" and you are on the right track.
Get a "fill it yourself" k-cup and start using fresh coffee. I did this for my sister when I was out visiting her a few months ago. Now she won't touch any of her pre-filled k-cups and starts jonsing when she gets down to under a half bag of fresh roasted beans.
Grind between drip and press for the best taste with a Keurig

Did you order one of these? Gourmet Coffee's 2.0 Freedom Clip Looks like a nice solution.I have them, but have the 2.0 Keurig. Waiting on a 'Freedom Clip' to switch to them. I love my DD, but cannot get it in kcup.
I did. Still waitingDid you order one of these? Gourmet Coffee's 2.0 Freedom Clip Looks like a nice solution.
My complaint with the idea of reusable K-cups is that they are have to be cleaned - if you are going to do that, why not a regular drip pot, if not a French press and the same fresh coffee?
Right, and in my opinion was a pain to clean. Grounds all over the sink since you couldn't knock enough out over the trash.
My pour over might take a minute or so longer, but I just turn it upside down over the trash and the cone filter falls out with all the grounds. Rinse it off and I'm done.
