I drink it a few times a week. I also don't like to get out of bed for class early in the morning, so I usually end up taking coffee with me rather than sitting and drinking it before... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~215732358788 Thu, 29 Dec 2005 13:10:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_215732358788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_215417458308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author liquidox - Believe all the negative comments you are reading on this item.

After 3 months of use the pod holder disintegrated and cracked. I contacted the manufacturer and was told a replacement was in the mail.

The problem is that this lever is bedded in plastic. It's badly designed, and the plastic breaks and chips easily. When it does, the pod drops open a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~185026645636 Thu, 2 Jun 2005 12:40:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_185026645636?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_182446820996?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bettisph - Had to have the first one replaced.

I figured it may take a pot or two to clean the "new taste" out of the system. Three pots later, it still tasted awful.
