Java Juice

My mom got a Keurig one cup gourmet coffee brewer for Christmas. Since this lovely appliance has been around now for six months, I've had ample time to try it out and also note how the Keurig has somewhat changed my parents lives for the better.

Personally, I love the brewer. It is extraordinarily easy to use. The selection of gourmet coffee available in the single serve "K Cups" is more than ample and all that I have tried have been delicious. It would be nice if the brewer made a slightly larger cup of coffee, but you can always make two "K cups" in a large mug or travel mug.

How has it changed my parents lives? They still drink coffee the "old fashioned way" in the morning. However, when they come home, they "treat" themselves to a gourmet coffee via the Keurig. My mom, a true coffee fanatic, will have two or three cups throughout the evening as she reads. I asked my father how he felt about the cost. He looked at me as if I had lost my mind. "Your mother loves this and I really like it too. It's a lot cheaper than going out for coffee and it makes us happy." I'm paraphrasing here, but the general gist is right on target.

The Keurig one cup coffee brewer starts at $99.95 from their website. However, I know my dad bought my mom's at a local warehouse club - it may have been BJ's or it may have been Sam's Club. Thus, if you are interested in this product, keep in mind, the website is not the only place you can find it.

This review is in no way a compensated endorsement. My opinions are mine alone and I receive no monies or other renumeration from Keurig for this post.
