We buy Harris Teeter (grocery store brand). It ranges in price between about $5.50-6 for a can (270 servings) of it. WE used to buy Starbucks, Seattle's best and etc, but it's a pain in the butt and costs twice as much and you get less than half the amount. WE use a coffee maker at home and the melitta pour over cones in the RV. We do have a keurig at home, but do not use it on a regular basis. Is it convenient? Yes, if you are using k cups. If you are refilling the reusable filter type cups, then it's no more convenient. It's still something you have clean out and you can make a couple cups in a regular coffee pot. A lot of people that have keurigs argue that they are the only one to drink coffee or don't want to make a whole pot. Well who said you have to make a whole pot of coffee? Put less coffee and water in and make less. Then you have the cost of the keurig machine ($80) vs a standard mr coffee coffee pot you can get for $10. K cups cost on average about 50 cents a piece. Our store brand coffee comes out to about 5 cents a cup (2 cents coffee and 3 cents paper filter. If you have reusable filter then cut the cost even more).
