If your best friend came up to you and told you that they just spent
$24.00 on a pound of coffee would you congratulate them or ask them what was so special about it?
If you walked through a market and saw coffee
on sale for
$58.00 a lb would you buy it or pass right by?
Or you are trying to save money and on a budget as many of us are, could you justify a pound of coffee at an
astonishing $62.50 a pound! Would you buy it?
Well, unknowingly, these prices are exactly what Green Mountain Coffee, Millstone Coffee and Starbucks are sold on Amazon.com for Breakfast Blend or the equivalent.
How can I say that? Well, a k-cup is measured to .42 ounces per cup. Below are the links I used...
That is $32.00 for 1.25 lbs. of coffee! That is $25.33 / lb
That is $19.69 for 4.4 ounces of coffee! That is $71.56 / lb
That is $23.89 for .90 lbs of coffee (by far the most economical) $25.50 / lb.
We understand that the convenience of the Keurig is important. So how do you get the ease of a single cup and save money?
Purchase a
Solofill reusable cup or the
k-cup covers for your existing cups, you can save a substantial amount of money and enjoy the taste of fresh, locally roasted coffee from WCC! Not to mention that you will not be disposing of the spent cups into the environment!
Solofill is reusable!
At $9.50 for Breakfast blend and the cost of the Solofill cartridge, the cost per lb for the first 1lb of coffee is $24.45. Every pound after that is a straight $9.50 without discounts or sales applied. That could save hundreds of dollars in months.
So think about it. Are you getting the best or the rest? You decide...
"Starting a new job is always hard. You want to fit in with the new crowd so imagine my despair when as a die-hard Watergap Coffee drinker, I only see Keurig coffee pots in the building! Thankfully, Watergap now offers the Solofill Cup! Problem solved. It works better than the filter that comes with the Keurig and I get to drink coffee that is freshly roasted to my taste, all while still chatting with the K-cuppers. In fact, yesterday's conversation centered around why my coffee smells so much better than theirs. Go figure... :)"
