Don’t buy a Keurig — This rival coffee maker is under $25 today

Image used with permission by copyright holder

Keurig is an incredibly popular brand when it comes to coffee makers, primarily because the single-serve pods are so convenient to use. But you’re also going to spend a lot more money on one than your average coffee maker — and they achieve exactly the same things. Take this Amazon Basics compact dual-brew single-serve coffee maker, for instance. Normally almost $40, it’s on sale today for just $22, saving you a bunch, but also it works the same. It takes K-cup capsules and brews up to 14 ounces of whatever you put in. It’s no cowboy coffee, but it will wake you up. The compact design also means it can be used in virtually any room, including an office, kitchen, break room, dorm room, and beyond. The deal won’t last long, so grab it if you’re interested. Below, we’ll talk more about why this Amazon Basics coffee maker is such a great idea.

Why you should buy the Amazon Basics coffee maker

Let’s get the more obvious point out of the way. The Amazon Basics coffee maker is cheaper, even at its normal price, but this deal makes it much more enticing, especially if you’re on a budget. It’s super compact, so you can place it in just about any room, and it’s more convenient than a standard coffee maker. It takes disposable K-Cup pods, of which there is a huge variety, so you’ll have no shortage of resources. Moreover, the water reservoir holds up to 14 ounces, is refillable, and comes with a removable drip tray for easier cleanup. Coffee pot cleanup can be quite involved without a simple machine like this.

Whenever you’re ready for coffee, just make sure the water reservoir is full, load in your K-Cup of choice, and press the brew button. You’ll also want to make sure your mug is in the right place — this coffee maker also supports 14-ounce travel mugs. It can also use fresh grounds if you don’t have any K-Cups handy or don’t want to spend the extra money. You can get some really good and flavored coffee grounds for a decent price if you skip the pod format. So, in essence, you’re getting the best of both worlds here, and which type of coffee you load is entirely up to you.

It’s also a great travel-friendly coffee maker if you’re on the road, in an RV, or living out of a van down by the river. You could even use this thing to make Irish coffee like a pro, just need the right guide.

Overall, this is an incredible discount that saves you about $18, but here’s the thing, this Amazon Basics coffee maker is already reasonably-priced. Today, it’s down to just $22, which is an unpassable deal. Grab it while you can and start brewing, well, whichever way you prefer to brew your morning joe.

I Take Back Everything I Said About Brunch
From Thai breakfast soup to Israeli spreads and Bloody Marys in the West Village, these are the New York City brunches that finally converted a former brunch hater..
Food, Food Presentation, Brunch

In my dissolute youth, I worked as a line cook in a hotel kitchen on Martha's Vineyard. Oh, how I loathed the brunch shift. Churning out a never-ending procession of yogurt parfaits and chocolate-chip pancakes, I wanted to dunk my head in the deep fryer by noon every Sunday. I even pitied the customers, who paid a premium for uninspired fare prepared by hungover, pissed-off cooks. Brunch? Fie upon it! The repast of brain-dead yoga moms.

But how age changes us. Now approaching forty, I'm something of a brunch maximalist. I once fancied myself an urban Viking, subsisting on pre-workout and nicotine by day and steak and whiskey by night. These days, I prefer nothing more than a lazy Sunday morning with my girlfriend in a sunlit dining room. Twin cappuccinos. Smoked salmon eggs Benedict. Tabasco-spiked Bloody Marys. A post-prandial stroll through the West Village. Why the hell did I shun such joys for so many years?

A butcher’s guide to buying better beef
A meat expert's guide to buying better beef at the grocery store
Verde Farms

If you've been to the butcher or the meat counter at the grocery store lately, you might have noticed it just seems to feel overwhelming. Today, there are endless meat choices and labels such as organic, grass-fed, prime, and choice, leaving shoppers confused and stressed. Are these just marketing terms, or are they labels that actually hold value (and should they affect how you shop?)

To help cut through the confusion, we chatted with William Eck III, the In-House Meat Expert at Verde Farms. A Le Cordon Bleu graduate and HACCP-trained food safety expert with more than 20 years of experience, including serving in a James Beard Award-winning kitchen, fine-dining chop houses and boutique butcheries, he brings whole-chain expertise to Verde Farms' commitment to organic, 100% grass-fed beef from pasture to plate. In this butcher's guide to buying better beef, Eck shares how shoppers can actually read a beef label, which cuts are worth the splurge, and his best butcher-approved prep tips.
