What's a good alternative to Keurig
Our Keurig duo just broke. This is the second one we've had (first one broke while still under warranty). I would like to hear some suggestions. Anything that will last longer, better quality, etc.? Or is this just the nature of these kinds of appliances?
Currently, I'm looking at this: https://www.amazon.com/Ninja-CFP101-...en%2C84&sr=1-1 |

Press coffee maker. Cheap, easy to use and repair, and environmentally friendly.

We use a Phillips L’or espresso/coffee machine. Pretty great so far, but only had it for about 5 months. Might depend on your preference for style of brew.

It’s expensive, but I love our Breville Barista Touch.

Any standard coffee maker is fine. It's all about the coffee you use.

I like to use Keurig style pods during the week for a quick cup before work. But on the weekends, we tend to brew a pot. That's why we had the Keurig Duo.

I recently purchased just an old-school coffee maker and have been getting it set up each night for the following morning. It's kind of nice to just have a full pot of coffee made and ready in the morning. The whole pot easily costs less than a single Keurig K-cup. I realize this isn't a direct replacement for Keurig but just something to consider. In my mind I had pretty much forgotten that the old way was even an option.

Holy crap! $800 ? Thanks but there's no way I'm spending that on a coffee maker. I like my coffee but I am far from a connoisseur.

Depends on how you like your coffee. Nespresso is probably a better alternative to using a Keurig, but it’s also more expensive.
I usually either make Cuban coffee in one of the little mocha pots with Cafe Pilón or Bustelo, or I do a French Press with dark roast beans. Depending on the time you want to spend making it and how you like your coffee, there’s a bunch of different options for making coffee. That Ninja machine will do the trick, but you’ll probably want to choose the rich setting for making drip coffee and grind your own beans. |

The mrs bought a Nespresso machine that she really likes. I prefer making a pot of coffee the regular way, since I drink 2-3 cups a day
