14. Oh, no problem. It was still early, before your coffee could kick in, and I couldn't resist the opportunity.

I apologize for that. Moving on ...

There's no way I could put up with a Keurig if it meant using the one-and-done cups associated with the devices. Someone brought a one cup Keurig into my former break room, and I was impressed with the convenience. Pour in a cup of water, put in a cup, hit a button, and walk away. Come back in a few minutes, and you've got a cup of coffee. Not a bad cup of coffee either.

The only drawbacks were the throwaway mentality that the machines encourage and the high price of those cups. You pay for the convenience.

The reusable cup changes all that. One of these days, I'll find some room on the kitchen counter and put the machine to use -- with a reusable cup filled with my choice of coffee.

Have a terrific weekend.

You were tactful, I saw a video of a truck disposing of thousands of those green cups so a quick gut action Shellback Squid Nov 22 #15

I've had good luck with a stainless steel reusable made by Ekobrew. Pricey though. GP6971 Nov 22 #5

You have to check which ones work with the specific Keurig you have SheltieLover Nov 22 #8

Thanks. I have no idea since it didn't come in the box. It's large so I think it's an older model. RamblingRose Nov 22 #10

Maybe you can search model no to find out or email Keurig to ask SheltieLover Nov 22 #12

The ones I use look identical these Nittersing Nov 22 #11
