At that point, how s it different from a Senseo?

As a matter of fact, why would you want a Keurig over a Senseo if all you're ever going to make is plain coffee?

Well, Canada doesn't have Senseo, but why would I use a Senseo over my Keurig. I really like the reusable cup design of the EZCup, and there isn't any cleanup. I'm guessing the Senseo by looks of the cups are similar to the Tassimo design we have here, but the pucks aren't nearly as clean and neat. I brought one in to the office, and you don't need to be near a sink, so it's really handy. Converted a Starbucks, Tim Hortons, and a French Press user, and now they're all using it. The AeroPress user, she hasn't converted, though she hasn't even tried it.

No, Senseo consumables are biodegradable. There's no cup at all, just coffee grounds wrapped in a paper filter. There's also reusable filters equivalent to EZ-cup.

I guess it does drip a little if you're not careful, which was less of an issue with the cup machines I tried.
