The winner was AnnMarie via comment contest random selection. If I do not hear from her by Sunday I will select an alternate winner.
AnnMarie says I”ve tried this coffee before at my friend’s house and it was excellent. Ever since, I have wanted this coffee maker, but something else always comes up. I love flavored coffees but my husband doesn’t. How awesome it would be to own something like this!!!!!
I have a fantastic giveaway in honor of Mother’s Day and I can’t wait to see who wins this baby!
I recently got the chance to check out the Keurig Special Edition Brewing System and Keurig was kind enough to give a brewing system to one lucky MFA reader.
I had heard so many raves about the Keurig machines that I couldn’t wait to check it out. I happen to love coffee. I am one of those people that sings the Folger’s song every morning..“the best part of waking up..is coffee in my cup!” And I have had a Tassimo machine for awhile which I adore.
Now I am not going to tell you that these coffeemakers are frugal. This Special Edition coffeemaker is currently $150 on Amazon. You also need to buy the K-Cups which go on sale for $15 for 48 cups.
If you can fit this into your budget I have to tell you these machines just make wonderful cups of coffee. I ran out of Tassimo disks a few weeks ago and went back to my regular old pot coffee and the difference was astounding.
For me the major advantage to the Tassimo is that you can make espresso beverages. So I can make cappuccinos, Chai Lattes, Caramel Macchiatos etc.. in addition to regular coffee and teas.
But what I noticed about the Keurig is that it is much sleeker looking on the counter. Also it seems to me that the Keurig K-cups are much less expensive than the Tassimo Disks. I think for those that just love really good coffee or tea the Keurig is a great answer. One other advantage to the Keurig is that you can buy the reusable filter and grind and brew your own coffee- which might be a little less expensive.
One other thing I just love about these machines is how neat and clean they are. I have to refill the water about once a week (more for the Tassimo) and then just pop the cartridge in and done! For some reason actually brewing a pot of coffee always used to seem like such a massive production first thing in the morning.

Disclosure: I received a brewer for review courtesy of Keurig. All opinions expressed are my own.
I start my day off with a big pot of coffee. Extra Chocolate creamer in it makes it extra yummy!
I have friends and family with these and they love them. They have just felt like too much of a splurge for the equipment. I am like you, love my coffee in the morning (and even into the afternoon). I have been making coffee on a 12 year old coffee maker. Medium roast, 3 splendas, and creamer.
Shared the giveaway on Facebook.
I have heard from others that this coffee machine is awsome! It would be nice to be able to make a cup at at time. This will allow for fresh coffee each time. At my house we make a pot of coffee each morning and each evening. We LOVE coffee. The Keurig looks so nice!
posted on my facebook page!
I would LOVE this. My husband hates coffee so I have to make a cup just for me. Doing the coffee maker is such a waste so I do the coffee press. Ah the ease of the Keurig.
AWESOME!!!! Right now, we use a Grind and Brew maker. We buy our coffee from a non-profit that works directly with farmers in Guatemala (fair trade). I posted this in facebook, too!

this would be fun to win, I’ve never tried one before. I really look forward to my coffee every morning and MUST have hazelnut coffeemate creamer in it. My husband goes to work too early to enjoy coffee with me so I just make enough for one big happy mug for me! I also tend to brew mine super strong, I like a nice kick start to my day.
When I seen this I just had to try! Just once because I am a very busy single mother of three. I love my life but I must start everyday with coffee. It is Maxwell House for me. I have seen you post about the Keurig cups on Amazon. I could never afford one of these machines. I would be most grateful is you choose me as your winner. I will not post again because I am also a full time working mother. I did put it on my FB page and hope you get a lot of hits from it. All my friends know I coupon. I give a lot of my “coupon shelf” to my church that has a food bank. They do not supply non-food items so I am able to bless them in many ways and that is because of your web-site has taught me so much. Thank you for considering each of us.

My husband makes the pot of coffee the night before and we turn it on in the morning. We have a timer, but find that if we just turn it on first thing it works better for us. I love Starbucks and my sweet hubby buys me gift cards there sometimes. Thanks for the giveaway!
My wonderful daughter (17) bought me a cappuccino machine for Christmas. She used to work as a Brista. And while it is wonderful, it is a Mr. Coffee, I’d love a Keurig.
I’ll admit…. I do a bit more Starbucks/Drive through coffee than I should. 🙂 Love brewed coffee w/ cream & sugar and vanilla lattes. Yum!
This would be a gift for my husband, who loves Chai Tea Latte!
I am a very big coffee drinker but my husband is not. I make a half pot for myself and reheat through the day. Having this system i would get a fresh cup of coffee every time! Thanks for your site, I love it!
I brew a pot of coffee first thing in the morning. And at night I have a cup of General Foods Cafe Francais. I would love to win this!
I must have a cup of coffee to start the day. Been trying to convince my kids that they can’t get up until Mommy has had at least one cup of coffee.

We drink our coffee everyday by using our Automatic Coffee Maker that is preset to start brewing before we have to leave for work. 🙂
I usually start my day with a cup of coffee with sugar or a cup of tea with honey. Either on gets me going.
I have a small 4 cup coffee maker. I am addicted to coffee. I get up make my coffee add my creamer and head out the door! I have heard such amazing things about these items and would love to try it!
I make a travel mug of whatever I’ve picked up on sale. I like Gevalia, Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts the best. Later in the morning I make another mugful and then I’m done for the day. Now that the warmer weather is here, I’ve switched to iced. Still make it the same way but switch to a bigger container and lots of ice!
My husband gets up every morning and makes coffee using a little coffee maker. He would love this.
I go to Starbucks for a Mocha Frappuccino.
I just recently got divorced and I did not get the coffee maker in the divorce. I got to keep the dog but not the coffee maker. So….I really need to win this one.
I start off everyday at Starbucks so yes I could use this!
Coffee is the one “treat of the day” that makes my day more special. I like to try many different brands with Gevelia being one of my favorites. My daughter and her husband travel frequently so I watch my grandsons. My “Travel Gift” from them is always a coffee from the vacation site they have visited. I am enjoying Whidbey Coffee from Whidbey Island near Washington State right now. I have wanted the new Keurig Brewing System since I first saw it. I left a message on my facebook account. I really want to be the winner.
This would be so amazing to win. I usually stop at Dunkin Doughnuts or Starbucks for a Carmel Latte in the mornings, it would be so nice to make it home, it would save me some money!! I’ve also been trying McDonalds Carmel Frappe’s lately, so good!
I LOVE to start the day with a fresh cup of French Roast, half n half and Splenda are a must.
Great give away! I love my coffee! I entertain often and have a coffee maker in the kitchen for regular and one in the dining room for decaf guests. Would be a great way to let my guests choose their own. Every thurs I have 14 guests and countless others during the week so many people would be blessed by one coffee maker. So you asked how do I take my coffee? With friends of course.
I would so love this!!!
Well, when I do have time (with 2 little one’s, rarely), I use our large Gevalia coffee maker, never finish what I brew & forget to clean it! I’d love the convenience & options with this item.
I love these! We have one at the office–I agree that making a pot for some reason does feel like a project in the morning. I have been resorting to the Dunkin drive-thru for my morning fix.
Ohh that is a nice giveway. I love coffee. I did not drink to much coffee that when I live in Peru. Now i live in Seattle and is very cold most morning so coffee is always welcome and warm the day.
WHAT A WONDERFUL LOOKING MACHINE, WOULD LOOK VERY NICE ON MY COUNTER.
Hubby and I each hit Starbucks about 3 times a week. Did I also mention my McDonald’s McCafe coffee addiction? Help me! I’d love lattes at home.
No one else in my house drinks coffee but me so I end up making instant coffee since it so much easier. Would love to have this machine and make myself a fresh cup every morning!
this is why i need this machine because starbucks usually makes my coffee.
We start our day with plain old drip coffee with some vanilla creamer (pretty boring). Occasionally I will hit Starbucks for a raspberry mocha, YUM. I’ve heard so much about the Keurig machine, I would love to try one.
I have to have my Starbucks iced mocha every day, but have cut it down to once a day (still yikes!). I need this so I can get the push to actually make something at home that tastes good. I can’t seem to figure it out with our current machine. Thanks!
I”ve tried this coffee before at my friend’s house and it was excellent. Ever since, I have wanted this coffee maker, but something else always comes up. I love flavored coffees but my husband doesn’t. How awesome it would be to own something like this!!!!!
I am just terrible. I make a large pot and drink it over the course of 24 hours, sometimes a little longer. Did I just admit that?
I start my day with coffee made in a French press. I boil the water, grind the coffee and make it in the French press. I add Coconut creamer (bought from using coupons) and have the perfect cup of coffee.
I make mine one cup at a time. I would love this!
I use my Mr. Coffee coffeemaker :0)…with San Francisco French Roast from Costco!
I either do a tall coffee in a grande cup with half and half and some sugar or a tall extra hot, extra shot Caramel Macchiato. =)

I either make a chai at home or get one at Starbucks with a FREE Swagbucks giftcard.
My husband would love this.
