You do not need to spend $250 on a coffee maker

However, I have switched to the Kuerig and I have to be honest, I think they make a fantastic cup of coffee. And I did not buy the most expensive. In fact, I bought it on Amazon for $135. I have my favorite recipe for a cup below. I have spent $5 on a large coffee and have never found it as good as the one I make every morning.
One last thought to share. For years I used a French Press and I can honestly say you can’t find a better cup of coffee. Takes more effort and time but you can pick up a Press for under $20!
