Office Stuff - Keurig
August 11th, 2006
Based on Randy and Jen’s suggestion, we splurged and bought a Keurig coffee maker for the office. We’ll do a vpinion on it some day, but for now, let’s just say that it’s getting a good workout here.
The key was that we knew this whole coffee thing would not work if anyone in the office had to clean anything. No pots, no filters, no nothing. The secret of the Keurig are these little cups, called K-cups that you can buy at Amazon. You just pop the cup into the maker. The water comes from this little tank you fill in the sink. Press a button and out comes some coffee in a few seconds. When you’re done, you just pop out the cup and throw it away (or make the next person throw it away). The coffee is decent, they have flavored coffees, teas, etc. You’d have to be really lazy to have this thing at home, but hey, we make no judgments here at Expo.
The only negative? Don’t run out of K-cups or the machine turns into a hunk of plastic that doesn’t do anything.

if you do run out of k-cups, they sell a little filter attachement (for about $10) that allows you to use regular, ground coffee as well.

In defense of k-cups, when you live with three children and have to keep up with four dance classes, three gymnastic classes, two schools fifty miles away from each other and a 14 month old who is just learned how to climb the staircases in under the minute it is not laziness, but survival.

The K-cups are a true god-send. I love coffee but my wife does not so I was always wasting half the pot…now I just make 1 cup at a time! Thanks Keurig!
