Keurig kinda wiggled its way into my life in the form of a gift. We thought we’d just keep it around for kids to make hot chocolate or for when company comes and they might want a flavored coffee or maybe tea, but we started using it on the weekends when we were both home. My wife started using it every day, and our regular machine ceased getting used. I decided to start using the regular machine again, but that only lasted for a couple of months. One weekend, we made coffee using Keurig and haven’t looked back. That’s been about a year now. It’s a safe bet that we’ll replace our Keurig if it goes on the fritz. It’s just too darned convenient.
