And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I use one of these at work, so I know it makes a decent cup.
WOW, those things have gotten expensive. $80!!! Plus, you have to pay outrageous prices for the cartridges. We got a larger counter top version about 5 years ago and I thought it cost about $50. I never use it (I drink instant - nothings faster, less expensive, or better, I know, I'm a pro) but my wife uses it now and then. That Keurig company is making money hand over fist while hooking people solidly in the snoot. Barnum was right.
Excuse me sir, do you have a license for that coffee you are putting in that machine? No? Please place your hands behind your head, turn around and walk backwards towards me.
Wait until you try the Keurig "Smart" brewer. It has to connect to both your cell phone (a tablet won't do) and your WiFi.
Then if you have any level of ad/spyware blocking on your network get ready to add a a lot of sites to your whitelist. Places you would never willingly let your stuff connect to.
On the other hand we have one like the linked one to use when we travel and it does a decent job.
I dunno. I've had one for years. If you rip the K=cup parts out and install the handy home brew kit, you can make a damned good cup of coffee. I prefer Bustelo or Pilon...
I've had 3 Keurigs. The first one was replaced after a year cause it quit working and the company sent me a new one, free of charge. That's lasted at least 4 years so far and i give it a citric acid clean out about very 4 months. Instead of buying the Keurig cleaning fluid, buy a big bag of sitric acid from amazon and you're good for years. The latest Keurig has four jets that go into the pods and it definitely makes a much better cup of coffee. I bought that originally for my travel trailer but my wife wants to use it full time now cause it's so much better.

Be aware that a travel mug will not fit.
