I was excited when I first learned about the Keurig coffee maker as a working mom who needs coffee to function but doesn’t have time to make it. The idea of a machine that could produce hot coffee at the touch of a button seemed like a dream come true. Initially, the Keurig seemed to meet this promise, quickly producing coffee at the push of a button. However, over time, I became disappointed with the quality of the coffee it produced.

I asked my husband one morning, “Why does this cup taste so bland?!” I may have snapped at him at the time, but in all fairness, I hadn’t had any coffee yet.
A few days later, while trying to explain to my daughter that she couldn’t wear her Halloween costume to school because it was April, I took a sip of coffee and almost spit it out. It tasted stale, even though the expiration date on the box wasn’t for a while. Later, I learned that K-Cups often sit on store shelves for a long time before being purchased, losing the oils that give coffee its flavor and resulting in a bland, weak brew. I tried switching brands, but every box I bought from the store had the same problem. No matter what I did, the coffee was disappointing and I began to consider going back to a drip coffee maker or a French press, neither of which I had time for on a busy weekday morning.
