Starbucks sells a single serve machine. I think it was only introduced in 2014. When first advertised the price was $199. I got an email this week that it was available for $59. There ae several downsides I can see. The first is availability of pods - I can find them online and I would imagine at a Starbucks store. The second is price - they seem to run about a buck apiece. Holy cow. Third is a limited selection -I think it's only Starbucks coffees. Bottom line, I am not tempted unless someone could convince me I'm overreacting.
