I had a Keurig for the longest time but felt it was making me sick. Despite cleaning it, I never felt it was clean. Got this for my birthday and the coffee is AMAZING. This is what coffee should taste like. It’s a bit loud when running but doesn’t bother me and the pods are quite expensive. But I need and love my treat of coffee in the morning as a mom of 4 boys. Definitely worth the extra per year!! I also got the frother and that’s helped me save money on buying spendy latte drinks since I can make them!
