Default Do you use a Keurig? Like it?

100% agreement on Mr. lousy Coffee. I have several 30-60$ coffee makers
and MC is the worst of all. If you look at the grounds 3/4 through the
process they are not even all wet. The hot water delivery process misses
the bullseye so the extraction is not what it should be.

We have used Keurig many times traveling and at best it is OK. Not
something you may want on a daily basis.

Technivorm is touted as one of the best and I have tried coffee from it
at relatives home. It's is known to have a very consistent extraction
temperature which is good but it's sort of a Rube G style contraption
that takes up too much space and is way overpriced. The coffee that I
tried was a quality fresh ground bean and was good but not noticeably
any better than others. Not paying 300$ for a coffee maker in this lifetime.
