I tried a k-cup with my flex brew coffee maker today. Thanks for the encouragement and it worked really well. My friend and I were looking at the manual and I think the flex brew uses both old and newer k-cups and the best thing is there's only one button, nothing digital that has to be programmed in. and I tried the coffee pods yesterday and the machine works with ground coffee as well, as I said I n the message the other day.

I had been bauking at the idea of what even the simple Keurigs cost, and well, since Amazon tracked what I was looking at, it sent me a 'you might be interested in' E-mail. It was $49. There were brands of coffee not available in regular that I had really wanted to try, so bought from .11streetcoffee, which has good prices. Someone showed me how once you put the K-cupin the basket, how you press down on part of it to lock the cup in and puncture the hole in the top of the cup; once I understood about that, hod no problem. I'm not giving up on my four-cup regular maker, but this is real nice for when I want just one cup and quickly, and since I clean after each use, I like that for tea now I don't have to wait for a whole kettle to boil; I can just put the bag in the cup, have the water come down over it, and let it steep.
