No Sundays? You poor man. Perhaps you better start going to church.

I had some pretty good K-cup coffee and some bad ones. I can't say that the stuff I'm drinking now is better than instant. Next time, I'll buy the K-cups from Costco.

I'll probably get a drip coffee maker for home. We have a French press but I'm tired of that sludge on the bottom of the cup. When the Keurig breaks down, it probably will not be replaced. I think it's a good system but that thing has a water pump that sounds like it's on it's last leg. I want a machine with a lever that allows one to brew a K-cup manually. That could be fun, simpler, and more reliable.
