Interesting: Cost of Coffee from Single Brewing Machines

I was flipping through my Google reader this morning and saw this article, $51 Per Pound: The Deceptive Cost of Single Serve Coffee, from The Kitchn pop up: the true cost per pound for coffee made in a Keurig or other machine.  Its crazy how expensive it is!

Take a look- I especially like that it came up now, because I've been debating whether it would be a good idea to register for one or not.

Is the convenience worth it to you? I don't think it would be right for me, particularly because I want to always have coffee available if people come over to visit. What's your side on this issue?
