I friggin love the Keurig! There I said it. It's actually real convenient for so much and with my schedule convenience is the main reason I own one. I have a huge family and they just pop a pod in when they're over and I don't have to be the one serving them. It's also great for Tea drinkers (although I don't expect any self-respecting Limey to make their tea this way). You can also load em up with any coffee you choose with the attachment that comes with it. That being said, we still use the stove top espresso pot when my Italian half comes to visit. If time permitted that would be my only choice for hot beverage.
PS I still drink from the hose and bandage my wounds with electrical tape.
