For this of you who have been at this, do guests prefer regular coffee pots or keurigs?

Just starting up, we have a regular coffee maker at the property. I have a keurig at home and at work, so a regular coffee maker is now foreign to me! LOL. What is everyones experience about if a keurig or regular pot is preferred? Thanks!

Hi @Kati37 

Welcome on board!  Your place looks lovely 🙂

We offer both Nespresso machine and French press in Dublin and also added a pack of instant coffee due to a guest request.  US guests tend to go for the machine coffee more while Europeans seem to make more use of the French press.  I would suggest you go for the Keurig as that is what you are most familiar with.  It might work out a little more expensive overall but your guests will likely appreciate it more.

@Kati37    Keurig creates such a terrible amount of plastic waste with their K-cups, not to mention the fact that they are very expensive;  I would never consider using one.    We have both, a regular coffee maker and a little Senseo-type, single serve machine(Hamilton-Beech, under $20.00 on Amazon)   The single-serve uses compostable, single-serve coffee pads without the waste--plus, it make s great cup of coffee at less than half the cost of one cup of Keurig.   😉   The majority of our guests uses the conventional coffee maker for which they have to provide their own coffee, but those who use the single-serve absolutely love the taste.   🙂

As long as there is coffee, I don't really mind what type, but I do expect the coffee grounds provided to be decent (and not stale). Rather than stale coffee grinds and a coffee maker or french press, I'd rather drink instant. A keurig or nespresso is appreciated but I wouldn't expect to find these types of machines in budget-listings. Plus.....I'm not a fan because of the amount of waste from the plastic pods.

Neither. I purchased a Jura and have never been happier.
