I used to make a whole pot of coffee at least once a day and throw away most of it.  What a waste!  And my husband likes one kind of coffee and I like another.  Then my parents got a single cup coffeemaker from Keurig and they convinced me it was just what I needed.  It is perfect!  Now I can have my flavored coffee at 5am and my husband can have his Kona at 10 with no waste!  It can seem like buying the coffee K-cups can be more expensive, but it really isn't if you think about how much you waste with a whole pot of coffee.  And you get instant gratification!!  Instant coffee is just what I need early in the morning and this coffeemaker is the best!  I got mine at Amazon and get the coffee delivered to me automatically via Amazon's Subscribe and Save program - it's convenient and saves money over going to the store.  I highly reccomend the Keurig Single Cup Brewing System over regular coffeemakers.
