Save Money & Elevate Your Keurig Brewing Experience Using Sagebrush Coffee

Keurig, the wildly convenient and debatably most popular at home coffee brewer in the US, controls the market with roughly 30 million users in households around America. The convenience of a Keurig is given in the ability to brew a hot cup of coffee in a matter of seconds at the easy push of a button. However, with the Keurig endorsed “K-cups”, you run the risk of compromising the quality of a cup of coffee merely for the sake of following something that is most conventionally used. You may be surprised to find the costs of these generic K-cups heavily outweigh the benefits. Here at Sagebrush, we understand the desire for efficiency, yet we propose an alternative to optimize your Keurig’s efficiency as well as decrease the negative effects on the environment, all while boosting the character and taste of your morning brew.
