Saving Counterspace with the New Keurig® K-Duo Essentials™ Coffee Maker

I am over the moon happy with the new  Keurig® K-Duo Essentials™ Coffee Maker! As an appliance junkie (coffee makers, mixer, toaster oven, pressure cooker, breadmaker) I have found myself with limited counter space, which has been a struggle for our household.

So, we wiped away the chaotic summer mess and organized her tight study space so she can get the most out of homework time. (more…)
