If you know me you also know that coffee is the cornerstone of my life. I have been a daily coffee drinker since the age of 15, and as a result I am the proud owner of my very own “Gold” Starbuck’s card. Yup, it’s got my name on it and everything. 🙂
For 10 years I was a proud Bunn coffeemaker owner. I had two of them so I could take one with me when I travelled. No waiting for coffee for me. Nope. Twenty minute brew time- no way. My faithful Bunn gave me an entire pot of coffee in about 3 minutes. I gave every member of my family a Bunn on various holidays, because I love them, but also so I did not have to wait the dreaded 20 minutes for coffee when I visited them. Yup, that’s me. Mrs. Thoughtful.
Then one day… I was introduced to the Keurig (insert Angels singing here). I bought a travel Keurig first, and then upgraded to the full size one once I was hooked and no longer using my poor Bunn.
It’s the best 2:27 of your day. K-cups raining down from the sky, a Godzilla like k-cup monster terrorizing the city and it’s people…… Just go watch. 🙂
Then one day I ran across a Facebook advertisement for Intelligent Blends. Being a coffee snob I was hesitant, but the coffee pods being recyclable was the straw that broke the k-cups back. Intelligent Blends had this great sampler deal. For just $4.99 I got 8 coffee pods to try, and I was hooked. Now I order 100 at a time, and have it on auto-ship for every 4 weeks.
Instead of paying roughly $1.00 per k-cup and filling the landfills up I now pay $.38 per coffee pod and recycle my little butt off. $38.03 per box of 100! Yay me!
So, if you are trying to do better like I am, if you are a coffee maniac like I am, if you like to save money like I do, and you want a big recommendation…. here you go.
Let me know what you think, and if you have any questions.
Muah,
