In the grand scheme of things, K-cups are among the least of our worries.
My husband and I drink different types of coffee, plus we prefer it freshly brewed. K-Cups work for us. They are more expensive, but we’re not dumping out brewed coffee either.
I notice he didn’t complain about company profits from the sale of them.
True. I try to use the pot, but that second cup of coffee never tastes like the first.
There’s a market for every conceivable type of coffee delivery system, it seems. We prefer it from a percolator for our 2-3 morning jolts, still have the electric one from 1958 my Dad got with Domino cigarette coupons - just for holidays.
I bought the K-cup thingie and it was the worst ever — I took it back and gave the cups to my brother.
I have a auto-grinder that has a pot that keeps coffee hot for about 10 hours.
The K-cup is too dang small and whole bean coffee still tastes much better.
I agree with him but hey, it’s a (somewhat) free country...
I love old coffee my mom would make a pot for herself in the am and would keep it going all day i would come by to say hi most days on my way home made Great ice coffee
I like k-cups. I drink one everyday before I get ready for work. My wife doesn’t drink coffee. I am happy to cough up the $0.40 per day for the ease and convenience. Before we got the Kuerig Christmas 2013, I never used the pot, but instead wound up getting a cup at 7-Eleven for $1.79 on the way to work so the way I see it, the k-cups are actually saving me money.
I worked at a gourmet dessertery some years ago. Owner wouldn’t let us leave a pot of coffee over 30 minutes on the eye. He was right. The flavor ‘burns’.
I’ll take my french press with some freshly ground beans over every other delivery system, thank you very much.
I have yet to have a decent (and strong!) cup of coffee out a keurig.
Wow what could this topic bring up that got two posts removed crazy its just coffee folks
Guess you wouldn’t like Camp Coffee, my favorite.
Basically get an old, never been cleaned coffee pot, fill it with water from lake, stream or canteen, put pot in fire, when it’s boiling dump coffee grounds directly into the water, put on the lid and put the pot back in fire.
When the grounds sink it’s done.
ENJOY!
Great reheated too!
The new 2.0 version have circuitry embedded in the foil seal that enables the brewer - much like ink cartridges on desktop printers. Non-compliant cups will not allow the new systems to brew.
Coffee Ping.
I clicked on this thread thinking I would see pictures of well-endowed women. What a disappointment.
Dang I thought this was about well endowed women.
We are coffee nuts!! If anyone took away my brides coffee, she would be in a very bad mood. If anyone were to take my coffee away, I would kill that person.
We have a french press and an old fashion percolator for fresh ground beans, but 99.99% of the time, we use the K-cups. I like the variety, flavors, speed and it’s always fresh.
We bought our Keurig coffee brewer from Costco in late 2011. It went bad a few days ago. My wife took it to Costco this last Saturday and they exchanged it for $163 cash. She then bought the new and improved Keurig model and put $15 into her pocket. I couldn’t be a happier customer. Keurig has spoiled me...we even take it with us in the Airstream when we go camping. LOL
On one occasion we took a break at a rest-stop along I-5. Instead of drinking their garbage coffee, I placed the Keurig onto the tailgate, plugged it into a generator and quickly made two cups of great tasting coffee.... it felt decadent, and I loved it.
I am presently drinking a Hazelnut flavor. I already had a cup of the Hawaiian blend this morning. Oops, I finished the Hazelnut and I quickly fixed a cup of “Donut Shop” flavor.
