The Mr. Coffee was fine for me when I was getting up at a regular time. I want my coffee right this very second when I get up. But once I stopped working and taking kids to school, I started sleeping until I wanted to get up. Then I'd wake up to a two hour old pot of coffee, half of which I was throwing away anyway because I couldn't get the proportions right to make just one cup that tasted "right".
Keurig it is. Get up, walk to the kitchen, push a button, one fresh cup of coffee the perfect size and flavor for me. I have my favorite organic coffee in biodegradable pods delivered to the house free from Costco twice a year, and pay about 1/3 what I would in a regular store.
MWM, if you shopped it right and got the right model, you could get a Keurig for not much more than $80. Black Friday isn't so far away...
