If you like keurig enough to drink it, why wouldn't you pay a dollar a cup? It's still a fraction of coffee house prices, even for takeaway.

if you drink 2-3 cups per day, you're now at... $3/day. Why pay more when you don't have to?

>Why pay more when you don't have to?

That wasn't the question. It was about living without something you enjoy if it costs 0.60 or more.

It's like... 70% fresh squeezed. The fruit is chopped up into smaller pieces, so for the most part there isn't much difference, and it is very new fruit. But to the target demographic 70% might as well be 0%.

Once you cut open fruit and vegetables, the elements and bacteria are introduced and they start to break down.

And you're removing all the fibers as well.

That was the question.

If I don't have to pay the extra 60c... why would I do that? I have no incentive to pay $1 cup for something which I can get for, say, 40c/cup.

I might pay $1/cup, sometimes, but if I can get it for 40c... why pay more?
