What's a good alternative to Keurig
Our Keurig duo just broke. This is the second one we've had (first one broke while still under warranty). I would like to hear some suggestions. Anything that will last longer, better quality, etc.? Or is this just the nature of these kinds of appliances?
Currently, I'm looking at this: https://www.amazon.com/Ninja-CFP101-...en%2C84&sr=1-1 |

Mr Coffee and Foldgers. Why in hell would you brew up one cup at a time? Not to mention the price of those Keurig packets.

I have had my Keurig K-cup for nearly 5 years.
I use bottled water only, clean often and have 4-6 cups over 8 hours. I use my own personal Kcups and fill with Decaf. How long did the most recent one last? What was the fail? |

I love my Moccamaster, its a little pricy, but its been bullet proof for 6 years and makes the best coffee every time, well depending on the beans lol, oh and its very fast , full pot in about 5 mins.

I just use a drip machine.
It’s summer now so I do cold brew. If you don’t want that much coffee, you can do a French press or a pour over cup. I’ve become a bit of a coffee snob. I have a post about it somewhere on here, but I went on a quest to find better coffee grounds, and ended up with buying whole beans and grinding them. There is just too much oxidation in pre ground stuff. Even prior to that, drip coffee was still better than K Cups IMO. My recommendation would be get a pour over rig, you can find them pretty cheap, like $20 cheap. If you like it better than the k cups then buy a grinder and start trying different kinds of beans.

My current one is about 3 years old. I think the heat element went out. |

I got one of these a few months ago and love it. I can do a full pot or just a single cup on the side and it's not a K cup. Its just a smaller basket and brews just like the full size one.

When I was in college, my friend went back to Peru to visit his family and he brought this box of coca tea back. The box was full of tea pouches with coca leaves. I couldn't believe he got that box through Customs.
