I have to wonder. If you have wonder why you would not use the
re-usable filters all the time if you already have it. I realize that
one of their selling features is the variety of coffees and flavours
that you can have on hand.

I got spoiled with one cup machines when I we were staying with my niece
when she lived in Estonia. She had an Nespresso machine. That thing made
really good coffee. Unfortunately, the machine is expensive to buy. The
pods are also expensive and not readily available around here. I have to
drive about 15 miles to find a store that sells them, and the tend to
come in variety packs. I don't mind having different types of coffee,
but I dislike the flavoured stuff.
