My guess is most folks use an automatic drip machine at home. The coffee filters were a great step in coffee brewing - no grounds or sludge on the bottom. I have a Keurig at the office. Unfortunately, I bought a big box of K-cups at Sam's Club. It's not very good but it looks like I'm stuck with it for a while. I guess I better stick with the house brand from Costco. It's pretty good.

We had a very complex little single serve Keurig machine at the hotel we were at in Kauai. It made a poor cup of coffee. Getting a good cup of coffee at a good price is getting hard these days!
