ever since we lost our coffee machine due to budget cuts like 3 people in the office have this thing now. i just resort to buying coffee from a coffee place every morning. i guess its time to jump on the bandwagon, because coffee sure aint coming back any time soon... wheres the cheapest place to get one of these?

get whole bean and grind your own. whole bean has the best flavor. costco is prob.the best deal on whole bean.

I bought a freedom press for $20.. works well enough. I put 4 times the recommended amount of coffee into it and get a good jolt in the mourning.

Example

They're functionally the same as any other coffee pod system, they're just proprietary to Keurig. They may hold slightly more grounds, I'm not sure.

They are 100% the same as pods, but they are just called a certain name by Keurig. I can't tell if you guys think they are any different than pods. They are not. They are in fact, pods. I am not expressing an opinion about Keurig or K-Pods but I think some people might e confused here.

Except that they're individually sealed and don't go bad as quickly as pods. Most other pod systems use coffee wrapped in a filter, basically like a big round tea bag, and come with several to a bag, so once the bag has been opened the pods age fairly quickly.

There is a huge difference between these k-cup things and the senseo pods that were popular a few years back.
