Yes, the price has gone up a dollar or two, but it is still the best deal.

Dear Barb,

I'd like to say I got my cup underneath, but I didn't. <giggle>, and
I learned very quickly it doesn't know that, but  thankfully, the drip tray
was deep enough to catch most of it.
I need to start ordering my K-cups from Costco; it seems they have
the best price around.

We bought a Keurig a few months ago and I absolutely love it.  We use the
K-Cups but also the basket where you can use your own coffee.  It works very
well and doesn't require a lot of maintenance.  Filling the reservoir with
water isn't that difficult, either.  I have a sports bottle that I fill and
pour the water in.  The only mistake I made with the Keurig was that I
forgot to put the cup underneath.  I realized it rather quickly so shut off
the brewer, cleaned up my mess and started over.

Good luck.

  Hi Serena,

  I hate coffeemakers that have you pour through the slots; never
  could do it without making a bit of a mess.  Wish I had thought of the
  funnel then.
  I have a Keurig now; when it dies, I am considering a coffee maker
  that grinds the beans before brewing.
  Wow; lots of coffee drinkers, eh?

  Mine is a Hamilton Beach that I recently got for Christmas.  It has a pot
on
  one side and a single serve component on the other.  The filter baskets
come
  out easily and the button to start the brewing process is a round button
  that's easy to find.  I'm sure there are other features to it that I
haven't
  figured out yet but so far it meets my needs.
  Also, Tracy's right, it does take a bit of prep work to make coffee and a
  bit to clean up.  With my old coffee maker I used to use a funnel to pour
  the water in to it because I kept pouring water on to to the counter.  If
  the issue is that you haven't done it a lot all I can say to do is
practice
  and keep practicing.  I'm totally blind also and it took me years before I
  could make a decent cup of coffee.  My dad is sighted and has been making
  coffee for years and still makes a huge mess.
  If there's a touch screen involved maybe there's a way to mark it with
puffy
  paint or Braille markings.  Good luck and happy coffee drinking.  :)
