New Kitchen Toy!

I have a new kitchen toy and I LOVE IT!

See I do enjoy my coffee. But unless it is on the weekend I normally don't get coffee unless I decide to splurge at the little cafe in the lobby of my office building. But that get's expensive. The thing is I don't like a lot of coffee. I'm good with just a cup. But to go through the hassle of making getting everything put together for a single cup of coffee...especially in the mornings? It ain't happening.

I've heard about Keurig for a bit but didn't think much of it until our best friends got one. Suddenly I learned the joys of having a good cup of java whenever I want it. I became hooked. So when we got our Federal taxes back last week I picked us up one as our splurge item. I picked up some extra coffees and some hot chocolate.

And I have been in love. It's nice to have a cup of coffee in the morning as I'm getting ready for work. A 10 ounce cup is the perfect size. Before I pick up the Keurig I did so some research. Which one was I going to get? What were all the features? The features I decided on that were the most important? Being able to select cup size, a decent sized removable water reservoir, and an auto-off feature. Looking at my options I decided that one of their more basic models would suite us just fine.

The convenience of the Keurig is the best part. Now I can have my coffee when I want it without a hassle. It doesn't take up much counter space at all, no more than my regular coffee pot does. AND I have found you can just run hot water through it if you want. You don't have to put a cup in there. This makes it even better as I can still use my teas when I want. I love me a good strong cup of black tea. The one draw back I have found? The boxes of the kcups can be a bit cluttering. They have a carousel you can buy but eh I'm not a big fan of it. I'm thinking I want a under the cabinet drawer type of thing. Something that I can put ALL the kcups in. Not just the few the carousel holds. I haven't found one yet.

Hmmmmm maybe the husband will be getting a new honey do item for his list.
