Commercial Bunn style coffee makers do tend to have hotter pads than most modern home drip makers. If I forget to turn mine off and have just a little bit of coffee left in the pot, it will dry up of course, but it will not burn it into a black carbon residue.
Yep, I agree as I sit here with a large cup of freshly ground beans made in a french press. No comparison.
I think it's great you take yours with you on business trips....and you're absolutely right about Hotel coffee...always nasty stuff!
I'm not sure if better to get a stove top peculator or an electric one...I suppose there's pros and cons to both. But I am going to switch from the Bella I have now. BTW...at the log cabin we had on the mountain we use to use a peculator on an outside open fire pit...Oh WOW! Nothing like that anywhere else!
That's AWESOME!
Environmentalists are always throwing that nonsense out there. Either that or they are calculating how many times to the moon and back if you stacked a given item on top of each other. Or how many football field a given object will fill.
All of it meaningless.
Everything taken from the Earth to make a product will eventually revert back to the Earth. Living things die, decompose and eventually end up as dirt in somebody's back yard pushing up dandelions. Turn a forest into a billion pencils and eventually those pencils will turn into dust and go back into the Earth. That Gatorade you are drinking today will get discharged into an urinal, flushed through a septic system and eventually end up as somebody else's drinking water - perhaps after a few hundred years of flowing through creeks and rivers.
“The new 2.0 version have circuitry embedded in the foil seal that enables the brewer”
Uh, not really. It uses some sort of optical system I believe, triggered on a particular color, from what I have read... Anyway, I got a plastic, reusable pod for the 2.0 brewer off Amazon and it works fine. Not a bit of foil in the thing. Not as easy to use as the store bought K cups, but cheaper and I can use whatever coffee I want...
There are examples of how to fool the new 2.0 system on Youtube. Basically, you cut the top off of a 2.0 K-Cup then place it on top of the non-2.0 cup. The bar code or whatever is on that top and the machine will brew the old cup.
I also saw one video where they placed tape on the cut off top and when they placed it in the brewer it stuck to the machine as a semi-permanent fix.
I’m actually a new fan of bulletproof coffee. I will check out the cold brewed method; however, it will be after Lent. I gave up coffee!
People forget that the water temperature of a Keurig machine is 192° F., easily high enough to make a good cup of coffee. Use that with your choice of your own coffee grinds and it actually comes out surprisingly well.
Dollar General sells some much cheaper screen filter cups, as do some others like Big Lots, for about 1/3 the price.........................
My coffee, regardless of what used to brew it..is on the weak side compared to many. I use coffee on the “Mild” side of the chart. Unless a “designer” type coffee...and then it takes a couple brews to determine the strength I’m satisfied with.
I honestly didn’t realize how weak I drink it until a family member told me finally..and this after years! HA!
I drink tea the same way..couple dunks of bag is plenty!

Have you ever noticed a “taste” from the disposable fiber filters? It’s like they’re too bleached.
No, but you can get unbleached ones also.
Thanks...
IOW he sold off for $50k and is stuck with nothing.
