"Keurig machines have taken care a LOT of that, though the servings are quite expensive."

We don't have a Keurig and don't want one. My husband brews up the best cup of coffee I've had in a $40 Mr. Coffee.

We don't have a Keurig and don't want one. My husband brews up the best cup of coffee I've had in a $40 Mr. Coffee.

For home, of course I agree. We use a $25 Mr. Coffee drip unit ourselves. If you grind good beans yourself, of course that will beat a Keurig. If you have a husband who makes youu coffee, its even more convenient. My wife makes mine. Good thing they didn't marry each other!

Do keep in mind that I was responding to someone complaining about the messes in workplace coffee areas. As far as not having to deal with dirty neglected pots in a public area, single serving Keurigs have their advantages.
