Help. I don't drink coffee...

[Leora Merrell]

BP search function isn't working for me right now, I keep getting errors. I'm sure this has been discussed many times already.

Anyway, what should I provide for guests in way of coffee? I don't drink coffee so I literally have zero idea. I have a drip coffee thingy to put in (the cleaner would provide the grounds, I'd provide liners). Is the Keurig necessary? Can I get away without having it?

Keurig is easy because it doesn't require constant re-supply of filters and coffee, you can provide some varieties, and less likely going to be messes.

At the same time...I HATE KEURIG! My wife has one at home and the office and she bought one for our vacation rental and it makes me scream inside. Regular coffee, particularly fresh-ground, tastes so much better! The only exception is if you are drinking foo-foo flavored coffees like lattes, which the Keurig seems to make pretty well. My biggest issue? I think the pods are an absolute waste of resources and bad for the environment. It's like the adult version of juice pouches that are nothing but liquid sugar in a metal pouch with a plastic straw wrapped in more plastic that always ends up on the floor and never, ever in the garbage can. But I digress.

Keurig makes it easy to keep your home stocked for guests. But you could also buy a $30 coffee pot, 500 filters for $12, and coffee packets that enable your cleaner to set out a couple for each new guest to at least get them started.
