We Can’t Believe How Cheap This Keurig Deal Is at Best Buy
Keurig K-Select Single-Serve Maker with standard mug and brewed coffee.

If you want coffee at home, whether cappuccinos, espressos, or any kind of java, you'll need a machine. Keurig deals are great if you want pod-based systems. Drip coffee makers are great if you want a full pot or more coffee at the ready. We've even heard of people using other devices to make coffee, like something from the list of the latest Instant Pot deals -- although we wouldn't recommend doing that.

Alternatively, Best Buy has the Keurig K-Select Single-Serve K-Cup Coffee Maker on sale right now for $100 with free shipping or in-store pickup. That deal not only knocks $40 off the full price, but it is also available in all colors including blue, red, white, and sandstone.
