Pangea Day YouTube Videos

Coffee! 

Single Serve Coffee

Keurig's single-cup brewing system lets people brew a perfect cup of gourmet coffee in less than a minute without the hassle of grinding beans, measuring coffee, handling filters or cleaning up. Keurig takes away all the guesswork from brewing a consistently great cup of coffee or tea. There are currently over 190 varieties of K-Cups, but you can use My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter with your own ground coffee. I'm looking to buy the Perfect Pod Holster so I can use up my pods from the old Melita One:One.
It's great for gatherings where everyone can choose from their favorite coffees: regular, decaf or flavored; or tea; even hot chocolate. I find it great for quick oatmeal too.
