Hey Baddog, have you thought about getting one of these?
Tassimo wasn't the brand in AMS, but Morten is a coffee fiend and after buying and trying a bunch of different ones (not to mention bringing his big ass expresso maker to the US only to find out we needed a converter that was bigger and heavier than the maker, just to get it to the wattage it needed to work) he is finally happy with the Tassimo, the coffee available on it is better than the Keurig maker, since Tassimo offers the Starbucks brand as well as their own. My favorite is the Caramel Cappacino, the milk pods actually froth.
