I've been using it and loving every minute of it. One really cool feature is that you can use a K-cup or your own ground coffee. It has a K-cup sized coffee filter to put your grounds in if you choose to do it with your coffee. I was wicked happy about that because I had several bags of coffee in my cupboard. The only thing I was not looking forward to was purchasing the actual K-cups. It just seemed to be more expensive.
My mom did the math and she said it came out to about $0.50 per cup, but I figured my ground coffee would come out to be less. More work, less money...I'm cool with that.
So, I just did the math on the ground coffee.
If I have a 12 oz bag of coffee I get approximately 27 scoops of coffee out of it. With the Keurig 1 scoop = 1 cup of coffee.
I spent $5.99 on a bag of DD ground coffee (thanks to CVS and a $1 off coupon)
That would mean I am "paying" $0.21 for a cup of coffee. I'm saving $0.29 NOT buying the K-cups. I like that!
I took it even further and figured this out:
A 12 oz bag of coffee @ $6.99 per bag = $0.26 per cup
A 12 oz bag of coffee @ $7.50 per bag = $0.28 per cup
I did those figures just in case I didn't have a coupon and had to buy at full price. Either way I still save over the K-cups.
Now, this doesn't mean I won't ever buy the K-cups. They're totally fun! How could I not buy them?!
Thanks, honey, for my really cool gift! I love it and I love that you know me and what I like!

You drinkt he DD at home too! Its my favorite.
The cheapest place I have found the DD is at Sam's ($15 for a 40oz bag. If you have a local DD, you can get a 16oz bag for about $9. Around here, the 10oz bag at food lion goes for about $7.5.
