Before Keurig K-cups caught on, I had a single pod coffee maker. I tried all sorts of different brands, and different online coffee providers. They just weren't very good. Most tasted "stale." When the coffee maker started to leak water (less than 2 years old), I threw it out and got a traditional Cuisinart coffee maker. Meanwhile, my mom and one sister now have the Keurig. The coffee is better than pod coffee, but not by much. I think I will throw my coffee maker in the car when I drive to WDW in Nov. I have to start my day with decent coffee, and we all know the Disney food court coffee is wretched (freeze-dried + water). Same as we know Disney scrambled eggs come as a frozen pouch of boil-in-a-bag scrambled egg mix. (I just threw that in since I was on a rant about Disney "coffee.")
