I'm not familiar with a Keurig, but if it does all sorts of gimmicky
stuff then I agree. Looking at the pic, it looks exactly like the sort
of machine I would avoid. I like French presses but prefer a decent
espresso machine, such as my Rancilio Silvia - a basic but commercial
grade machine scaled down for home use. Bought mine second hand nearly
7 years ago and it hasn't missed a beat, and it gets used 2 to 3 times
a day. You can buy parts for them no problem and not overly
complicated to repair yourself if need be. At some point I'll have buy
a gasket kit for it, but still no sign of that being necessary. They
last a lifetime and end up being a hell of a lot cheaper than
replacing your machine every few years.
