I'll admit, I succumbed to subliminal DC suggestions and the need for a new toy. I am now the proud owner of a Keurig Platinum, following a Costco foray. We got the same deal that Andy got. Got the 60 free cups, which will last us for a very long time. We don't drink much coffee, and have just not been happy with the Cuisinart that grinds and brews, as it's a pain to clean and was never hot enough. So far, I'm very pleased with this little machine! We did the initial test on French Vanilla as it was expendable and we don't care for flavored coffees, and were very impressed! It was so much hotter than what the Cuisinart would brew, and quite good! Hopefully more experimentation won't keep me up too late....
