It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to

My coffeemaker broke this morning Crying, and I'm dying here.  I didn't realize how reliant I am on my morning cup o' joe.  DD was up at midnight and again at 4am and wouldn't go back to bed.  I eventually brought her into bed at 5am for 45 min until my DS woke up.  I then sleepily dragged myself to kitchen and my coffeemaker wouldn't start.  Not a good start to my birthday! 

On another note, does anyone own a Keurig?  Pros or cons?  I had a Cuisinart which I liked and lasted 6+ years, but I'm thinking about getting the single cup Keurig brewer.

  • Happy birthday!

    Treat yourself to Starbucks and a new coffee maker.

  • First of all, happy birthday! I hope your day gets better. Second, I'm so sorry your coffeemaker broke! What terrible timing!

    The family I nannied for before DD was born had a Keurig. I really liked it. If you like the ability to brew a cup at a time, it's great. You and your DH or guests can each have the kind you like. However, if you and your DH both drink a lot of coffee and often make and use a whole pot at a time, it might not be so great. You'd definitely end up spending a lot more money on coffee with the Keurig, particularly if you usually make and drink whole pots at a time. 3-4 K-cups per person per day adds up quickly!

  • We have this in addition to a regular coffee maker and I like it because I can do more with it.

    I found this while Googling

    I'm too cheap to buy all those K Cups.

     

  • Oh, I want to let everyone know you get the little strainer guy with the new models and can brew any other coffee you wish from pre-ground or beans.  They also have a Keurig club so you get coffee K-cups cheaper through them than in the stores.

    We have a Keurig and really like it but mainly use it during the weekend since we both take a large travel mug of coffee to work with us. The k-cups can be kind of pricy and we try to buy them when they are on sale and my mom has found them at Marshall's and Home Goods before at a good price. I also purchased the insert that you can put your own coffee grounds in.  

  • Happy birthday!

    I was wondering about this.  I actually like a specific brand of coffee and would like to continue using it, so this is good to know.  Thanks!

  • Boo!  Sorry your morning is sticky.  I am pro Keurig!  Love ours.  Had it about 2 years, my sister has had hers like 5-6.  It is awesome and so convienent!  I love the flavors, and they also sell a reusable pod you can make with your favorite type of coffee, which is a lot cheaper than the pods, especially if you are doing multiple cups a day.

  • Happy Birthday! I woke up Easter Monday and the Cuisinart coffeemaker we had for four years suddenly didn't work anymore. I think I might've cried. But I went out the same day and bought a Keurig because everyone at work kept telling me how great they were. They are a little pricey, but I LOVE ours. I've heard customer service is great, too. A couple people I know had there's go out after several years and Keurig replaced it with a new one. I'm pro-K :)

  • Happy birthday!

    I love my Keurig. It's so easy. I'm lazy, so this is a major pro for me. I order from keurig.com and they deliver (again, lazy).
