You wouldn't have guessed what I have just bought...

I have been lusting over this item for a few months now. It has always been on the back of my head but I never purchase it because it is super difficult to find in Singapore and that is the Keruig Coffee Maker. This is really famous in US!

I was on a work-and-travel trip in USA 2 years ago and one day, my friends and I walked into this book store. There's the Keruig on the table that served free coffee and all the owner request is to enjoy the drink while browsing their books. (SO NICE RIGHT? I KNOW!!!)

So, I browsed the carousel:

and ended up with:

Ok, I admit, one reason why I choose this is because I am an avid tea drinker. And the name Bigelow reminds me of the awesome C.O.Bigelow lipgloss, plus the fact that it was difficult to find green tea in US then. 

Anyway, I follow the step-by-step procedure on how to operate the machine (it was just becoming popular in US back then) and VOLIA! I end up with an AWESOME cup of green tea! You will have think that we asians can make better green tea compared to the americans but the green tea that I drank there is one of the nicest that I ever drank in my life!

I even keep the used K-cup because I love the smell of the green tea leaves and I want to have it as a souvenir to remember the awesome book store. (But I threw it away 2 weeks later because it grew mould -.-)

So, that was a memory 2 years ago but it was constantly revisited whenever I watched Youtube gurus like allthatglitters21, juicystar07 and missglamorazzi who raved about their Keruig and how they love it. The Physicist in me rationalised that the voltage and power wouldn't work. (you will need a transformer/converter and I heard that it is expensive to buy in Singapore) Plus, I know how expensive it is to ship goods from US to Singapore and there is no way I will pay $200+ for a coffee machine. (the machine is US99, shipping is estimated to be about $70)

But I still want it. And I know that my mum will enjoy it because she drinks A LOT of coffee. Like 2-3 cups a day. And hence, I went to visit my good friend aka Ebay:

This is only selling at US$39.99 including free shipping to Singapore. Although the seller claimed that it is in original packaging, I still think it is a fake one. But as my mum rationalised, no matter if the machine is a fake one because what matters is the k-cups (the mini cups to make your drink) and that the machine operates.

I have just purchased this on Ebay (like 15mins ago) and I will be ordering the K-cups from their official website. I am confirm getting:

and perhaps this:

This is like the best variety box that I can find which gives you a piece or two of every flavours but I have never heard of this brand called Timothy's -.-

I'm going to ask my mum tomorrow what she like and maybe the k-cups can arrive before Feb =)

Anyone drank hot apple cider before? I want to get this but it only comes in order of 24

Anyway, I should stop here because It's 2.25am and I need to wake up at 6.45am tmr! Talk to u guys soon, stay happy and enjoy your short working week! =D
