Not Your Average Joe
















After a disappointing break-up with a Tassimo, I really researched single serve brewers and decided I wanted to try a Keurig Home Brewer. Luckily, Shlomo Clause heard my wish and delivered one for Chrismukah. Since getting mine, I have two other friends who followed suit based on my recommendation and both (and two significant others too) love it as much as I do. In fact, two of us loved it so much that we each bought the Mini Brewer (available in three colors) for the office. There are over 200 K-Cup varieties for the Brewers covering coffees (regular, decaf, flavored, organic and free trade varieties), teas (regular, decaf, green, herbal and chai) and hot chocolates (milk, white and dark)and all are made by top brands including Green Mountain, Timothy's, Newman's Own, Emeril's, Twinings, Celestial Seasonings and Ghiradelli to name a few. The larger Home Brewers make a slightly better cup than the Mini Brewer but the Mini is still pretty impressive for its size and at $80 (you can find sales on these or just bring your faithful 20% off coupon to Bed, Bath and Beyond and pick one up there), it is totally worth avoiding spilling coffee out of your "non-spill" travel mug (what can I say, I am talented) on yourself, your car and other belongings. The Home Brewers begin at around $100 depending on the model you select and Keurig customer service is great. If you get one feel free to post or email to swap favorites (French Toast is definitely my favorite flavor, I think...) Word of caution...they are not the quietest machines in the world so if you plan on using it while others are sleeping consider yourself warned!
