Keurig Tea Why

I agree, even my 7 yr old granddaughter has figured out to put the hot cocoa mix in the cup and just add the hot water!

I'll agree it's much less expensive to buy the tea bags, but I gotta tell ya ....those k-cups of tea made in the Keurig are the best cups of tea I've ever had!

I agree. The tea bags are pre-measured so it's so easy with my keurig.

I agree. It is so easy to make tea with my Keurig by simply putting a teabag in my mug.

That's usually what I do. I normally just use the hot water button and add the bag or tea leaves afterward. I do have some tea k-cups that came with my machine or were samples and I did buy some k-cup teas when they were with on display near the milk and I was lazy. (Kudos to the person who put the giant k-cup display near the coffee creamers and milk! I bet they sell a lot more.)

I have dozens of boxes and canisters of tea, so I see no real need to go out and buy boxes of k-cups. The Keurig doesn't change the Tea Bag + Hot Water = Tea equation.

I have to believe k-cups are instant tea. Any steeped tea is better than that. Tea needs to steep to develop real flavor--and different teas steep at different times.

I think Keurig has a mystique, a cult following. That's the only reason I can come up with to explain why people put up with the steep price of both the machine and the cups. I'd like to see some blind taste tests with Keurig against my $19.00 Black & Decker or my neighbor's ancient percolator.

I like my Keurig. A fresh cup always beats coffee that's been sitting in the pot. And I only make what I'm going to drink, instead of throwing away coffee.
