Default Keurig vs Traditional Coffee Maker

Which do you prefer?



Maybe I'm old school, but I'll take the old coffee maker over a Keurig machine any day of the week. While, the latter is convenient and quicker, I think you sacrifice taste and quality that you get from a traditional machine. Plus, the price of k-cups is outrageous.

Drip coffee does not equal quality or good taste at all in my eyes. I prefer a Keurig. Even the Keurig is barely passable though in my opinion.

I have a Keurig at work, in my toolbox. Drip just isn't convenient at work. I have a Capresso C1000 at home.

I have a Keurig at home. I know it's not as good as drip but it's the price to pay for quick and easy coffee in the morning when I'm running late and need to get out the door.

A Keurig IS drip coffee. Don't understand why people don't get that. It's not instant. The capsule has ground coffee in a filter, kinda like a teabag. My C1000 on the other hand, pressure brews with steam. I like it best.
