Tassimo vs. Keurig – And the winner is…

Keurig by a landslide!

A couple of months ago, I began asking for opinions of coffee brewing systems.  My blog post The Great Coffee Maker Debate:  Tassimo vs. Keurig vs. ? is one of my most viewed posts to date.  I received a few comments on the blog, but most came from my tweeps on Twitter.  And overwhelmingly, the feedback was Keurig was tops.

I really put a lot of value into what bloggers, tweeps and commentors on my blog have to say.  Why is that? Simply put, I trust their opinion more than I do any commercial.  In my other blog post, What Kind of Influence Do Bloggers Have? I put the question out to everyone to see who’s opinion matters most.  And I found out I am not alone…

So what is it about the Keurig that made me change my mind?  What feature(s) really made a difference for me?

THE ABILITY TO USE ANY BRAND OF COFFEE!!!

Keurig sells a resusable coffee filter that allows you to use any gourmet coffee.  This seals the deal for me because I LOVE Dunkin’ Donuts coffee.  And, this even helps reduce costs even more because you don’t have to buy their K Cups.  (Of course, I’ll still want to because I want the other range of flavors they offer.)

Aside from the reusable filter, I really like the variety of cup sizes available (4 oz, 6 oz, 8 oz, 10 oz and 12 oz), the setting to make iced beverages and their trademarked QuietBrew technology.  (This feature is a must when I actually wake up a few minutes before my girls and I want to enjoy some coffee.  My Senseo is LOUD!) 

So, now my quest/hinting/begging begins.  Dear Hubby, if you see this post, this is what I want for Mother’s Day.
