back and give me a refund. I scored a new Keurig today on sale for $100. at another retailer.
Would you return the dead Keurig to Costco or just write off the $100.+ it cost?

(11,944 posts)I have a one-mug ceramic press that I use at home, and an insulated stainless steel 34 oz press that I take for work when I make coffee for myself and a couple others.
At home, I have what I should probably consider an embarrassingly-complex ritual that I go through to make myself HOT coffee, and it's sooooooo good. It is more work, and it does take longer than just pushing a button.
At work and traveling with the group, I just make the large press of coffee, dump the grinds and that's all. It's not that much more work.
A while back, I stayed a week at a place that only had a Keurig so I bought a box of K-cups from a local roaster whose beans I often buy when I'm in that city. It was a lot better than the starbucks and Folgers cups provided, but not even close to as good as the exact same coffee made in a french press.

They took it back, no problem.
Costco is one of few companies that actually inspire customer loyalty.

(11,944 posts)but k-cups are wasteful and expensive. The coffee is OK, if it's a good coffee. I've used them in hotels.

Big batches a stovetop old fashioned steel percolator.
Plastic is the DEVIL!

(27,366 posts)Just buy the entire Costco operation call it "Floyd's". Then the coffee-maker will be the least of your worries.
