QUESTION:
Would you be disappointed if... (gift question) PLEASE help, I'm stuck and confused lol?
My aunt has been wanting a single serve coffee pot for her office at work. She wanted a Keurig but then decided against it because she doesn't want to spend the money. Then she was talking about an off brand of a Keurig but just isn't sure she likes that one or wants to pay for it either. She likes the idea of the k-cups, easy clean up.But then she was talking about just using a tea pot which is more messy than any coffee maker!
I found a Hamilton Beach brand that uses "senseo" type coffee pods that got even better reviews than the Keurig powered ones. It's cheaper and it brews a bigger mug full, the only thing is, senseo doesn't have the variety of the K-cups and it has a brew basket that needs occasional cleaning.
I don't really have the money for a Keurig powered one, myself but I do have it for the Hamilton Beach one. Would you be disappointed if you got a brand you weren't expecting to get ?
My reasoning is, if she is willing to make a mess with a tea pot then I'm pretty sure she wouldn't mind the very SMALL mess of the hamilton beach brew basket.-
ANSWER:
No, I would not be disappointed. I would be grateful for any gift. I use a single cup coffee maker similar to the Hamilton Beach one you describe, and sometimes I use regular coffee grounds in the basket, and sometimes I use the Senseo pods,and I like it better than the Keurig. I used the Keurig at my daughter's a few weeks ago, and to be honest, I was not impressed. If your aunt is a little older - 50+ - I think she might like the Hamilton beach better.

ANSWER:
No, I'd be happy just getting one and knowing my nephew/niece cared about me enough to get me one. Does your aunt love you? If yes, then mostly likely she'll be happy with what you give her.
