I know you are prolly thinking that Influenster hits you up with tons of emails, newsletters, etc., but that’s not the case at all. All I had to do was take a survey on Influenster (done), post about it on social media (done & done), and write a review at (done). I have to admit, I’m totally digging our new gadget.Īll told, I got over $300 worth of Keurig stuff for FREE. Although I know Tammy will continue to buy K-Cups, because she likes how they look in the carousel! This way we can still enjoy the Keurig and use our own coffee.
While my argument about the coffee being more expensive this way is still true, I do like that Keurig included the reusable K-Cup. I actually liked it so much that I drank 3-4 cups each morning. On the weekends we use the K-Carafe and brew a bigger pot. That works perfectly for me because I don’t like strong coffee.
We’ve been using the same K-Cup twice each morning, with Tammy getting the first cup and me getting the second. With the 80-ounce water reservoir, there’s no having to remember to put water in the pot before going to bed, or first thing in the morning. I never thought it was that difficult to make a pot of coffee, but after having a Keurig for a couple of weeks, I now understand the convenience argument. When I’d argue with people about how Keurig coffee cost so much more, their biggest reason for preferring it was the convenience. Since it was almost 9 p.m., the first run of the Keurig K575 was a cup of tea for Tammy. I wrote about the last deodorant Influenster sent me because it was so good. I’ve gotten other items from Influenster before, but it was mainly hair salve and deodorant. Based on a user’s Impact score and demographic, he or she can then be invited to campaigns run by Influenster featuring digital and material rewards from consumer brands, most popularly the “VoxBox” or a boxed shipment of products to sample and complete a survey about. More specifically, Influenster quantifies its users’ influence via “Social Impact”, which tracks the number of friends, followers, or subscribers a user has. Influenster as defined on Wikipedia: Influenster is a product discovery and reviews platform that uses social media analytics to measure its users’ influence on social media. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention all of that I’d be getting it FOR FREE!! That’s right, FREE. After years of me denying her coffee from a Keurig, this felt like a miracle from the coffee gods. I couldn’t believe it and couldn’t wait to tell Tammy. I answered all of the questions, hit submit, and figured I wouldn’t hear anything back.Ī few days later I got an email saying it was time to wake up and smell the coffee because I was getting a brand new Keurig, along with K-Cups, and accessories. So when I saw Influenster wanted me to take a coffee survey, I didn’t think much about it. I had successfully fended off Tammy’s Keurig requests by pointing out that the cost of an 18-pack of K-Cups was more than the giant container of Maxwell House we get at Costco. I was perfectly fine using the coffee pot we’d had for years. I don’t wake up needing coffee and don’t drink any until I’m walking out the door for work. We drink coffee every morning, but by no means would I call us hardcore coffee people. The disagreement stemmed from Tammy’s desire to have a Keurig, while I was fine with our standard coffee pot system. Maybe war is too harsh, it was more of a skirmish over a coffee delivery device.
Well, it’s not so much a coffee war, because we both agree on what coffee to use. For years my wife and I have been engaged in a coffee war.
