Currently, four different models of the Tassimo single cup coffee system are available in the United States. The Home Brewing System and the Tassimo T20 are both available for $99.99. Because of its space-saving design, the T20 has a slightly smaller water reservoir (61-ounces) than the Home Brewing System (68-ounces). The T20 is also available in either black or white.

The Tassimo Suprema retails for $139.99. The Suprema’s water reservoir holds 61-ounces, and a water filter is included with purchase. The Suprema is available in either red or black.

The Tassimo LCD Premium (T65) includes a multilingual LCD display, a 61-ounce water reservoir, and a water filtration system. The T65 has a Twilight Titanium finish and retails for $169.99.

3: What about cost?

Convenience and choice have value and it’s reflected in the cost of single cup brewing systems.

A good, entry-level one cup coffee maker from Keurig, Tassimo or Flavia is between $100.00 and $130.00 depending on the model, and the coffee, tea, or hot chocolate capsule for each cup is about $.65. In total, the per-cup cost of coffee brewed by a single cup coffee maker is more than if you brewed a pot of coffee at home, but less than buying a cup on the way to work.

Pod brewers like Senso and coffee pods are generally less expensive than the other one cup options, but we feel that pod brewers aren’t as consistently high-quality and convenient as the other brewers, and that’s reflected in the cost difference.

That means you can buy a box of 24 K-Cups for as little as $11.99–a cost of just $.50/each–and the lowest price we know of for K Cups.

The good news is that you can find Keurig coffee in more and more places across the United States. K-Cups are available from office coffee distributors, internet retailers, and in grocery and retail stores.

The best place to buy K Cups really depends on how many want and how you choose to balance convenience and purchase price. For home users, the internet is still the most popular place to buy K-Cups, although Keurig coffee can also be found at supermarkets and big box retailers like Target.

For large offices, the best solution is having a local office coffee service (OCS) distributor. The OCS ensures that the office has everything needed to serve Keurig coffee. Small offices and businesses generally find that the internet or warehouse stores like Costco are great places to buy K Cup coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.

KCups are typically sold in 12-, 18-, 24-, or 80-count packages depending on where they are purchased. So, as you compare prices, be sure to consider the number of K Cups in each package. The chart below compares the typical price per K-Cup by package size.

Location	Package Size	Typical Price	Price/K-Cup
Costco	160 K-Cups	$84.99	$.53
OCS Distributor*	24 K-Cups	$12.99-16.00	$.54-.67
Internet Site	24 K-Cups	$12.99-16.00	$.54-.67

Supermarket	12 K-Cups	$7.99-8.99	$.67-.75

* Some OCS distributors include use of a Keurig brewer as part of their KCup price.
** Stores like Macy’s, Target, or Bed, Bath & Beyond. On their Internet sites, these companies sell K Cups in 18-pack boxes.

Most Internet sites offer free shipping or other discounts when you order 4-6 boxes of K-Cups. The price per KCup will be higher if you don’t order enough boxes to qualify for these discounts.
