No Cups
We have found that by purchasing your favorite whole bean or ground coffee online in bulk bags (we use Amazon to purchase 2.5 lb bags of Starbucks House Blend for about $26 per bag) our per cup cost is 26 cents per cup. The coffee is brewed in our old reliable 2 to 10 cup thermal carafe Cuisinart using paper cone filters, and tastes better than the coffee dispensed at Starbucks (or most other coffee shops) where they charge 8 to 10 times our cost.
Thermal carafe is the key.
I personally have never found pods that taste right, as I prefer somewhat richer stronger coffee than pods allow.
Just my 2 cents here ?
