Bottomless cup of coffee

Paul and I purchased a Keurig coffee brewer a couple of days ago. It's that single coffee maker system. You place a single, tiny cup of ground coffee in the holder area, pull down a lever and voila', you got yourself one cup of coffee or tea or latte, etc. The tiny cups, called K cups, are prepackaged. No filter needed and no need to grind coffee beans.

The maker we bought (at Costco of course) came with a sampler of coffees - 60 of those tiny K cups. There's Green Mountain, Kona, French roast, Coffee Shop, French vanilla, green tea, Earl Grey and so on. We also bought a supply of 80 K cups of Folger medium roast.

We are in that early stage where we love it. It's fun to pick out any flavor we want and in an instant, we have quality coffee. It was kind of expensive - $140. Of course we rationalize that we won't buy at coffee shops anymore or at least until the brewer is paid for, which isn't much of a sacrifice.

There is one sizable downside: We haven't slept in 3 days.

I LOVE GREEN MOUNTAIN COFFEE!!! My McDonalds has Green Mountain. Any size for a dollar. It is the only reason for living.
