I will be the first to say that I am not a huge fan of single serve coffee machines, due to the waste involved. It has been quite a few years since I have looked into what brands like Keurig were doing, and I have been absolutely blown away by all of the advances in terms of sound, speed, and quality. I absolutely love the milk for author and how quick and easy it is, especially the hot and cold settings. I have been making myself lattes every morning and it is quick easy and quiet. I am also a big fan of how K-Cups are now recyclable.
