Cut the Cost of Using Your Keurig Single Serve System - Get The Best Price on K-cups and Save

We love them, don't we? -- those marvelous little k-cups that deliver perfect cups of coffee, tea, hot chocolate and even apple cider every time with no messy clean up, too.

If you're reading this lens then you are probably already using a Keurig single serve coffee system because you enjoy having a fresh brewed cup of coffee, tea or other tasty beverage on demand. You probably also really like the flexibility of having a variety of blends and flavors practically in an instant. The cost, however, is another matter, isn't it?

While it's true that you can indulge in coffee house quality coffee for a fraction of the cost of actually going to a coffee house, it's equally true that k-cups are a bit pricier than the cost of brewing coffee using a traditional method. Typical cost estimates for k-cups range between 45-65 cents per cup. That can add up quickly if you drink more than a cup or two each day.

Read on to learn about various ways you can save on the cost of k-cups to help make your Keurig not only simple, flexible and convenient, but also affordable - you might even win free k-cups for life! New links are being added regularly featuring hot deals on Keurig products and k-cups.

Price Increases Started in 2011 but You Can Save in 2012

Major k-cup providers announced prices increases over 35% in 2011 and continued to inch up during the year, but you can still find affordable k-cup deals in 2012 by checking out the many options on this lens.

San Francisco Bay Coffee One Cup for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, French Roast, 36-Count

Amazon Price: $17.49 (as of 06/01/2012)Buy Now

I ordered these because of the price and reordered them because of the flavor. These are k-cups, but don't look like the ones we are used to because they've done away with the superfluous plastic cup. Instead, it has a foil seal on top with a sturdy plastic ring that seats in the brewer like the typical k cup - the rest is just filter filled with deliciously roasted coffee. Don't worry, though. It brews normally and you don't have to worry about tossing away all of that extra plastic.

    I used to use the keurig but moved up to the Saeco Giro coffee maker. One cup at a time but no wasteful k-cups. Delicious brew.

Headlines About Keurig

Keurig will soon be facing competition from other coffee companies as the expiration on their k-cup patent expires and new cup designs are developed. Will this help drive down the cost per cup?
