I never write reviews for items I have purchased. However, in this case I felt compelled to write and express how much I have enjoyed this particular item. I have had a Kuerig for almost a year. While it was convenient, I was pretty horrified at the amount of waste the Kuerig generates. The Hamilton Beach Single Scoop is the perfect replacement. It is quick, convenient, and most importantly makes a really fine cup of coffee every time without filling landfills with little plastic cups. As an added bonus real coffee beans are infinitely less expensive than the k-cups and the Hamilton Beach Single Scoop is more compact so it takes up less counter space. I'd strongly recommend this product to anyone that is looking for convenience of a Kuerig, but without the waste and expense.
