We recently got one of those Keurig coffee makers and the lowest price I can find those pods at is $0.39 (1 pod = 1 cup of coffee).

It's cheaper than a cuppa coffee from Dunkin Donuts or whatever...
Not that I buy DD coffee but I can walk into my local DD and buy a pound of coffee and not have to pay another $7+ in shipping to get it home !

I suspect the company's quoted price per cup doesn't include the cost of S+H and it most likely is based on one of those little tea cup things and not a big old fashioned, good hand warming, New england coffee mug. Of course that is only a quick guess.
If I follow similar math (another quick guess) as to how many little cups of coffee I can get out of a $6 lb. of coffee w/ no S&H It should cost me around $0.085 per cup. That guess could vary quite a bit depending how weak or strong a person makes their coffee. I figure my coffee costs me around $0.12 to $0.15 per mug, based on 4+ mugs per pot
Like I already said. It is probaly damned good coffee , but to darned expensive for my blood.
