Of course I am. If you read the line I posted what we actually spend versus
the no waste Keurig.

If you get the cost down to 30¢, it is still more expensive. Convenient,
yes, but there is a cost to saving time. I'd rather use that money for
something else. Obviously, others don't as many machines are sold.
