So I guess it's about time to start planning some Christmas gift ideas and I'm thinking of buying my parents one of those Single Cup Coffee Brewers but I don't really know which one to get them...

My parents are super lazy when it comes to stuff like this so it needs to be convenient, not just to make, but to also buy the coffee and what not. It should also be able to make Tea, Lattes and Cappuccinos (preferably with actual milk and not just faux-flavored crap). My budget is around $100

Going off that and a quick google search, it seems like Tassimo is the best bet but the only problem is the lack of Starbucks, which troubles me as my dad almost exclusively drinks starbucks when he's not home.

On the flipside, the Verismo (starbucks equivalent) doesn't seem to have very many options as far as flavors go. Basically a few brewed coffees and one type of latte. My dad orders some disgusting concoction that would never be possible to replicate in a simple disc anyways, so I'm hoping that's not a sticking point.

The Keurig is the one I have at work and the complete lack of milk steaming pretty much eliminates it.

Is there anything that I'm not taking into consideration that I should? I heard there were some other ones that were out there but you needed to order the discs online, which my parents would never do. Any thoughts? Reviews? Comments?

P.S. I know there were some Tassimo threads on here but I kind of want an opinion on all the options, not just Tassimo specifically.
