I can't speak about the home units but I can opine about the coffee. My
bank has a Keurig machine and a selection of coffees, teas and hot
chocolates. It's free, unmonitored and sparsely used by the customers.
I'm in the bank a few times a week and have brewed a few cups of
coffee but haven't finished any of them. The machine is easy to use, a
no brainer. Drop in a cartridge, close the cover and press a button.
Just remember to put a cup below the spout. The machine disposes of the
spent cartridge after the brewing is complete. The coffee is pre-ground
and stale. It tastes like cardboard. That's what you get from
pre-ground coffee.
