I really dislike the taste of stale, hours-old coffee. I've tried a bunch of brands of K-cups and finally settled on Starbuck's Pike Place or Starbuck's Sumatra as my favorites. Every time I have another cup, even if it happens to be hours later, it's a freshly brewed cup, and at Sam's Club the cost is about 45¢ per cup when purchased in 72-cup boxes. If I brewed a full pot of drip coffee every morning, 80% of it would be poured out at the end of the day. I also like an occasional cup of Earl Grey tea, and the K-cup maker does a fine job of instant very hot water for tea bags. You can even buy Earl Grey in K-cup format, although that would be for sure a waste of money compared to bags.</p></blockquote><p></p>
