I have a single serve coffee maker, but I use the reusable filter cup with ground coffee. I have to brag a little bit. My husband isn't a coffee drinker. He was at a store and saw S-bux branded ground coffee marked down to $2 for a 12 oz. bag. He bought nine bags! It was past the expiration date by a few months, but it is sealed in the bag. I've been using it to make my cold brew coffee. I get two half gallon jars of cold brew per bag, plus enough for a couple of single servings in the pod machine. I think it tastes better because I'm saving so much money!

I'm an unapologetic Keurig lover. it works best for us, we all get up at different times and want one cup of coffee.....not a vat. and some of us are fancy and like flavored coffee's some of us are dark roast, some lighter roast...., we also enjoy hot chocolate pods. we like having variety of coffee flavors or hot cocoa's. I've even seen apple cider pods this year. So yes..we are Keurig people. But we also have no debt and our goodies are few and far between so. Coffee pod lovers unite!

I finally figured this out about a year ago. Stopped buying the expensive coffee creamers . Just use milk w/ a touch of honey or sugar . I am having fun adding various things like cinnamon, clove , nutmeg, butter , coconut oil & vanilla or almond extract . Sometimes I don’t fancy it up . Sometimes plain is fine but using milk instead of flavored creamers , not only saves money but gives me a way to play around w/ the flavors . I made simple iced coffee for fall. . I just brewed stronger coffee & put in fridge in mason jar to cool. I put cold coffee, ice cubes, milk , either sugar or maple syrup, vanilla extract & pumpkin pie spices & sometimes a few TBSP of purée pumpkin . Stir it well. It may not be Dunkin Donuts but it’s darn near tootin close !!! 🤣 Hubby likes just milk & sugar .in his coffee. He realized the creamers aren’t worth the money . 😆🌺❤️ Love y’all !!!! 🙏

No keurig here. We have a nice espresso/cappuccino machine we were given as a gift years ago, and love it. We also have a regular old drip machine we use daily, and a stovetop percolator I love and use frequently. We do drink a load of coffee.🤣 Of all those essential groceries (heh), the only ones we buy are cheese, and very rarely sodas (when they have an awesome deal and we get it to dole out as special treats. I don’t drink it, but hubby and son do.) We get coffee and yogurt from Aldi, so it’s pretty much always the cheapest in our area. We haven’t been out to eat in years now, but once in a blue moon, we get pizza. I do make homemade pizza, but there are times when I’m just plain worn out and want pizza I didn’t have to work for.

Regarding Keurig, I have a coffee maker that is both pot and refillable single serve or you can use the single serve packaged...... we use the fillable a couple times a year, but I'm going to maybe generalize something..... there are some convenience things that are worth the cost..... example: with my disabilities, I would not trust my motor skills to make a whole pot/ could drop something that heavy, so if hubby were out of town and couldn't be there to make the coffee, I'd make a single serving. Or, I don't have the stamina to cook from scratch every day, so we might throw something easy but more costly together. I can sit at my job and take 1 more client and make 10 times the difference between the frozen packaged meal and a from scratch meal I made on my feet. We have to be careful how much we justify but sometimes the convenience is worth it, financially and safety wise and time wise. Our children are grown. When they were young, i chose to work less and be home more, but now, I'd rather make money with my energy especially since it's a sit down job.

We do have a DolceGusto at our office for employees because those guys cannot be trusted to keep a regular machine working and clean. I buy their capsules on sale for 40% off only.

For years, my husband and I stopped at the Dunkin Donuts at least twice a day for our coffee. Then one day we realized how ridiculous it was that we were spending that much money on coffee everyday. Our solution was to buy a Keurig. While that was definitely cheaper than the Dunkin Donuts stop everyday, we decided it was still too expensive. We now use a single serve Farberware coffee maker with loose grounds. Whew, we are now saving a ton of moolah. We havent given up on our love of Dunkin Donuts coffee though. We dont smoke, drink, or spend money at restaurants, so we consider that our one vice. Our house is now paid off, but we probably could have paid it off 2 years earlier if we had changed to grounds sooner.

1, 2, and 3, on the pods in this household. When i first saw a Kuerig machine, my immediate thought was why were they so expensive because the profit is going to be in the pods for ever more; especially since Kuerig was the only brand for some time. In the house we have a simple 12 cup Mr Coffee or Walmart equivalent with no ghost energy and a metal mesh reusable filter. In the detached garage with no sink, the other half has a Kuerig type pot and uses Safeway's Select pods. He also had several filters he would fill in the kitchen then take to the garage along with his jug of water. The garage turned out to be a rough environment for the filters and 2 remain but the pods have gotten expensive enough he uses mostly the filters.

2. I had a keurig until it broke I was given it, I went through more coffee using that than making a pot of coffee. I even tried the refillable pod still staying with my pot of coffee. Plus if I have left over coffee. I can put it in the fridge and warm it up the next day. No waste.I have a son and daughter in law that drink coffee at different times, They had a keurig They found they were going through more coffee with the refillable pod, and it costs more when they were buying the pods. Have many in my family that are big coffee. Drinkers. And they all have gone back to just making a pot of coffee. Now here's the funny part. I have a family member that spot a special express old coffee machine. And they still buy coffee every single day at $8 a piece. Makes no sense. I was talking to my youngest today. And we were talking about those other family member Talking about how you're trying to educate people. The amount of money they can save if they make coffee at home. We know of somebody that is asking for a large thermos to be able to bring their own coffee to work, They work in the cold and that way they can make it at home. It will be cheaper and they can have coffee when they need it to stay warm. Also coffee makers. I have people who have spent a lot of money. And I have people that have bought in just a basic 25.00 drip coffee maker.

Not about laziness , I just like the taste of keurig coffee pods better Either at ALDIs or Staples on rotating basis ( they send us ridiculous discounts and free shipping) . Costs around 25 - 35 cents a cup. I do intermittent fasting so do not eat breakfast. The 1-2 cups of coffee then do my 8-10 mile run (the coffee gives me energy for my run). Healthy 58yo woman no meds. Works for me. But I can afford it now. Clean keurig every day with soapy hot water then dry so never nasty .

Also a few weeks ago you mentioned vanilla from Mexico and I just wanted to let you know that we live on the Arizona border of Mexico and have used pure vanilla from there for over 36 years, and it is not nasty and we even ship it home every year as Christmas gifts. It used to be economical and reasonably priced but inflation has even hit Mexico and now a liter is about $5, and we get dark and light.

I did the same thing with my tree! Tried flocking it a couple years ago and what a mess it makes. I had the thought to use the air compressor on it as well. I didn’t do it but I might try it when it comes down this year. We also took one section of the tree out so it wouldn’t be 9 ft high and it looks great! I got tired of decorating g on a ladder.

When did soda pop become essential ???? No kureg here only a Bunn coffee pot with biodegradable filters We frequently buy cheese, yogurt and coffee almost on a monthly basis.

Essential for me would be cheese. Sometimes I buy great value yogurt for my Crohn's Disease but not every month.

I think people are at the opinion that they are not being wasteful by using a Keurig machine. Just making one cup at a time.
