Let's talk coffee...

There are things in life that are worth paying a little more money for. Things for which there is no good substitute. Peanut butter, mattresses, shoes....and coffee.

I've had some really good coffee in my short time here on this earth. Coffee that makes you close your eyes it's so good. I've also had some really bad coffee too. Coffee that makes you want to just drink water instead. So I set out on a quest to find the best coffeemaker I could find, since my love of coffee only keeps growing. After checking out all the major brands, I came across this machine, called the Keurig B70. I have since dubbed it the Godbrew 10000, an improvement from the B60 Godbrew 9000 that I had before.

This machine has a lot of things going for it. For one, it makes really good coffee. They have already figured out the water/coffee grounds ratio so that you get the same really good cup of coffee every time. Secondly, it makes one cup at a time, and always has hot water at the ready. So if it is 3PM and you want a cup of hazelnut creme, and someone else wants a cup of decaf...you can do it without brewing two pots of coffee. I've probably poured out the equivalent of a swimming pool's worth of coffee in my time, just because I'll make a pot and not even drink half of it. Third, you can use your own coffee in this machine. Other machine force you to use their proprietary pods or cups, but the Keurig has a tiny cup and filter that you can use with your own favorite ground coffee. Too much trouble? No worries, the prepackaged "K-cups" are only about 45 cents a piece, the price you would pay for coffee out of a vending machine. I could go on and on about the great things about this machine...it's easy, convenient, cost effective, awesome. About the only drawback it has, is that it can't make espresso. But if you are looking for a great cup of coffee every single time, check out the Keurig. You can usually get a 20% off coupon from Bed Bath and Beyond, and their customer service is second to none! Spread the coffee...spread the love :-)
