[Electronics-Talk] likes and dislikes of my Keurig

[Danielle Ledet]

Well I am going to get me one. Erm, another one. I had a K10, but
decided to give it as a gift. Now I just have to decide whether to buy
online or in the store. Thanks for pointing me to the accessible
models and explaining the buttons. I like cocoa and tea and flavored
coffees. Now to figure out what sized mugs I have cuz I don't
remember.
