Done with Keurig K-pods!

Keurig K-ups is all I use at home and in the rig.

I was happy to give the keurig to the college kid. I went back to a tea pot and a french press. I will miss instant hot water for oatmeal and jello though.

I love a good cup of coffee and keep trying new brands for the keurig but nothing has been what I wish to have.

So I just searched the Jura. Holy crap one is 10k. The D6 is 1550.00 Canadian $. I would never have imagined a coffee maker would cost that kind of money.

It does look pretty nifty. Is there a single cup one with frother you would recommend?

 

[TJ&LadyDi]

One thing about the Juras is that the "frother" is a bit different than some other machines. There is a separate insulated milk container connected to the coffee machine by a small hose. The milk is pumped through the machine to get steamed, frothed or foamed milk. It does not have a steam wand that goes into a container to do the steaming. Some people like the Jura method, others don't.

Jura machines with the kind of features most of us like do run $1K and up. They are pricey, but high quality. Looks like you are in Canada, so I don't know the pricing structure up there; sorry.

You guys are killing me. Love coffee, but I just can’t drink it know.

At those prices, I'm glad I never developed a taste for Coffee or Tea.

Thanks TJ,

I will look further. I will never tell my non coffee drinker husband the price, he will never ask me the cost either so I won’t be lying ?

I think it will provide what I am seeking for taste.

Good luck. We won't tell him if you don't.

I prefer to put $$$$ into the coffee. Years ago, after touring and tasting in South and Central America, Indonesia and Australia, we settled on the Lion brand of 100% Kona coffee and that is what we drink every day. It's not for those who like a "twang" to their coffee as it is smooth, rich and low acid, so you don't need mixers.

It's not cheap, but we spend much less than those who hit Starbucks everyday, while enjoying one of the world's best coffees. We mail order direct and load up during sales, although they rarely include the 100% Kona in their sales, but when they do... Besides, it gives us a good reason to go back, enjoy the islands and make a haul now and then.

Since @TJ&LadyDi got me on Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC - Free Shipping Over $35 my body rejects dried out stale yuck pods, aka Keurig pods. What a difference my coffee world has been with "real coffee"
