Even at 25% off, those pre-packaged coffee things are a HORRIBLE value.

Like no-chicken noodle? Try Top Ramen Chicken flavor. Thirteen cents a pack, and aside from a few minerals, all the ingredients are organic.

I love my K-Cup brewer. I know it's more expensive than regular homebrewed coffee but I no longer throw out half full pots of coffee or moldy filters.

This Amazon deal is a total rip off though. I usually get my K cups at BJs or off the Keurig website.

@Eels: You know, you could just brew a cup or two at once and throw out the filter when done...

Just sayin' - this IS Consumerist, after all. Gotta squeeze every penny.

I agree. If it's expensive, it's nonetheless cost-efficient. (I keep K cups around for convenience, but buy freshly roasted coffee at the roaster a few blocks from my apartment and use the mesh filter K cup adapter.)

I also agree that the Amazon K cup sale's a ripoff. It's a stacked discount, and you only get 10% as a baseline. I actually like a couple of the K cups Amazon's put on sale, but it's cheaper to go to Bed Bath and Beyond with one of their omnipresent 20% off coupons.

K-cups are amazing, and I, too, love my Keurig brewer. Bear in mind that these prices are for two 24- or 25-packs, so although I can't compare to BJ's, I'm pretty sure it's still cheaper than ordering from Keurig. Although I agree that these deals aren't great, since it's really only a dollar or two cheaper than Amazon's normal prices for K-cups; what you really need to watch out for are the clearance sales. Last time I ordered, they had a 50%-off deal on certain Coffee People and Green Mountain varieties, so I was spending $12 or so for two 25-packs.

@Eels: Thank God! I was afraid K-cups were gigantic brassieres.

If you like the coffees offered on Amazon, it is a good deal.

BJ's price on K-cups, at least around me: $32.79 for 80 (41¢ each, plus tax in certain areas).

If you do the subscribe and save, the coffees ordered on Amazon are $15.75-$17.25 for 48 (33¢-36¢/each, no tax).

@Clold: Is Chicken Top Ramen made with real chicken? No cheap substitute for vegetarians, if so.

@Eels:

Huh? You don't have to brew a full pot of coffee, ya know. And to solve the mold problem, just throw out the filter/grinds after the coffee is done brewing. :-)

We have a Keurig machine at work, and I have to say the coffee isn't very impressive. It doesn't taste any better than vending machine coffee. And the caffeine is pretty weak. I'd say time/convenience is the only selling point to these single serving coffee machines.

For everyone else, I'd recommend getting a french press. Best coffee evarrrr! But it can be chore to clean sometimes.

You can order Silk Soymilk (the refrigerated stuff, right?) online?!

@Hyman Decent: Yep! Silk Soy Milk is hermetically sealed and shelf stable (unrefrigerated) for up to one year.

Chocolate soy milk - yum!
