I got a Keurig one-cup coffeemaker for Christmas! This is by far one of the most frequently used and most useful appliances in my kitchen. It's awesome. In less than a minute, I have a fresh cup of coffee, and then, almost instantly, there's another 8 ounces of hot water ready to go. I think one of the things I like best about this machine is its slick black and stainless look. Yeah, it's all about style.
This machine makes coffee that comes in little plastic pods. They go into a little vessel and the hot water runs through them and makes a nice cup of coffee. This version also came with a reusable filter so if I run out of pods, or if I want to drink the tasty Starbucks ground coffee I bought when all I had was an old-fashioned drip coffeemaker, I can use this filter.
Another awesome thing about the Keurig is that you can get just hot water! Instantly! As you can see, I'm making some lovely mint herbal tea. This Bigelow collection is quite tasty. I like the Sleepytime, a mixture of chamomile and mint. I also use the hot water feature to make instant oatmeal. I wonder what else I can use it for.
The machine came with 90 pods. Mostly coffee, but a couple of tea and some cocoa. I'm enjoying the Newman's Own Extra Dark roast. The Green Mountain Nantucket Blend is useless... pretty watery. The Caribou Organic coffee is okay. You can buy more pods online (kind of pricey but sometimes they go on sale at Target). I've been told that the Green Mountain Breakfast Blend is good, so I'm keeping my out for that, and will probably buy more pods when I run low. There are a 190 varieties of K-Cups (that's what they're called).

you can buy the pods at bed bath and beyond, too.
