Amen to that. If my wallet is fat (a rarity in the Obamaconomy), I may spring $30 for a half pound of pure Hawaiian Kona whole bean. Expensive, yes, but damn, is that a good cup of coffee.
No dirt in my coffee. I only buy whole bean and grind it myself.
If everyone ate a spoonful of dirt every day, they would live longer and be healthier.
‘A glob of dirt a day keeps the Doctor away’ never really caught on, so we ended up believing apples would help. (which they would, if you ate the worm).
Good question. Another question: do u know what’s in your hamburger?
Doctor says I need more fiber in my diet.
I work at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. We do the famous K-cups as well as ground coffee and whole bean. There is nothing but the best beans on earth going into our coffee. We have food safety standards you would not even think about. We roast and grind coffee for Paul Newman’s, Costco’s Pacific Bold, Pete’s, Donut House, Tully’s, Starbucks, Wolfgang Puck’s, Emeril’s, Dunkin Donuts, and Keurig’s to name a few. And, that is just coffee. For the rest, go to their website: http://www.keurig.com/newmansownorganics-k-cup#.U-rzh6M7c7A
From what I know about our coffee, the article is offensive because it cast a bad image on the coffee producers who do it right. Keurig/Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is the state of the art and they do is right.
I’m quite sure of that! I have my Keurig coffee every morning and Green Mountain is one of my favorites.
Keurig coffee is not as exquisitely flavorful as with a French press but better than drip.
I prefer Colombian coffee for its robust flavor and buy mine at Sam's Club. 80 servings for $29.98, it comes to 38 cents a cup.

Another good source is Staples. When the Cups are almost out of date they mark the packages down. They're not necessarily Colombian blends but they carry good products.
And we just learned that dirt is good for us!
Mrs. Chandler loves your English Breakfast Black Tea.
I buy whole beans from Ritual or Four Barrel or Sunergos and grind my own. Don't see any clumps of dirt or grass...They're all mostly communists tho and proud of it, except for maybe the owners. Whatever motivates the workers, eh comrade?
Actually Four Barrel is more iconic hipster. Hipsters are mostly Tranzis with a few stealthy libertarians scamming for MOTAS.
It works out that 12oz of coffee from recently roasted bean fresh ground to brew every morning is cheaper than an equal amount of vile swill from the 'bucks.
> According to the FDA it can have 4% rat turds!
That’s fitting. We have 95 % of Congressmen that are the same...
It is a good idea to grind your own to get the maximum freshness from the bean. Once the bean is ground, the countdown starts for the deterioration in flavor, called the staling process. At Keurig/Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, we have a 48 hour window between the time the coffee is roasted and ground and when it is packaged. That window is made even smaller because roasted beans should be allowed to breathe (to emit CO2) for around 8-12 hours before being sealed in a container. Coffee that falls outside that window is dumped. All coffee, including K-Cup packs are nitrogen-flushed, sealed for freshness and impermeable to oxygen, moisture and light. Once the coffee is packaged, the coffee holds is optimal freshness up to a year.
To get you maximum coffee flavor when using a Keurig brewer, get the refillable cups. Grind your own beans. It is wise to purchase coffee in amounts proportionate to how quickly it will used. Coffee begins to lose its freshness almost immediately after roasting so it is far better to purchase it in smaller quantities. Purchase freshly roasted coffee frequently and buy only what you will use in the next 1 or 2 weeks. And because exposure to air is your coffee’s worst enemy, it is a good idea to divide your coffee supply into several smaller portions, keeping the larger, unused portion in an air-tight container. Do not refrigerate or freeze your coffee because the little air in the container will precipitate out its moisture, which will deteriorate freshness.
They need to genetically modify soybeans so they contain caffeine and remove the phytoestrogens so the soy bean can finally do some good...
Then you can use the Postum process and make all the coffee you want...
Sometimes you are better off not knowing.
Nasty stuff.

I own a Nespresso machine..and a nice steamer by them as well....immaculate coffee conception by Swiss Nazis
I drank their powdered chocolate in my cows milk in the 60s
Its prefect.....espresso....restretto.....lungo.....cappuccino.... latte.....au lait
There coffee is top notch and in pods.....10 times the quality of kuerig
If I drink drip style I use beans....I boycott Starfcuks
Ditto my Chemex....
I use french press for my French Market or Cafe Du Monde or Luzianne
But 95% at home I ride with the Swiss in snappy uniforms...
And they walk in line.....(100 dollar donation here if anyone gets that.)
