    Teapot, kettle - let's call the whole thing off =)

    Love tea but I just need that one caffeinated cup of coffee in the morning.

    Purchase is done and done.

    And WYTM, I went the gold filter route too based on your recommendation!

    The best part of waking up is Folgers not in your cup.

    Folgers is...Folgers. Not sure about it being the best part of waking up though :whistle:

    SD, I got overwhelmed by all of the options so we're expecting another goddamned Mr. C. No fancy coffee (yet!) since we have a half a thing left of Don Francisco's.

    The last 8secs explains the tagline I have had in my head since I was a kid when it comes to folgers. I can't get that out of my head anytime I see folgers. Smart marketing just not my kind of coffee.

    Sorry if you start to sing "The best part of waking up is folgers in your cup"

    Speedy,don't try to reason with the coffee snobs in this discussion. Appearantly our fine tuned palette and unquestionable good taste is beyond their comprehension.The complexity of the Instant coffee is its simplicity!

    Now to take your Java experience to the next level,and shave 55 seconds off your prep time go get an Insta Hot from Home Depot.Life changing shit.Microwaving your Aqua is Sooo 90s.

    And yes it's totally unrelated,but since Hedo already has ordered her exciting new Mr.Coffee,I thought I would add to the vintage 70s commercials that get stuck in your head and add this one.(If you remember watching it during sat morning cartoons,your old)

    I went Kuerig in 2009 and never looked back at my graveyard of Mr. Coffees. It's so great to have a fresh cup of coffee every time. I got the reusable coffee filter to use my own blend. I'm honestly shocked by how long my Keurig is lasting because it used to be a yearly purchase to use Mr. Coffees. Just make sure you wash the Keurig well if you make hot chocolate or anything that could clog things up. Vinegar mixture to clean it once a month keeps things moving too. :)

    Does the Keurig HAVE to be hooked up to a water line or do they make them with water reservoirs?

    No water line necessary. It has a nice reservoir. This one is like mine and you can get the reusable filter. http://www.amazon.com/Keurig-Elite-Brewing-System-Black/dp/B00AQ9NIO0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433871878&sr=8-1&keywords=kuerig

    See this kind of thing I understand. Especially with the fill your own pods set up. If I was a one cup and done kinda girl I'd probably be into this. But only if I can use my regular Bustelo and my fresh ground beans from the coffee place.

    Which reminds me. I think I deserve some whole bean Costa Rican this week.
