Those K cups are definitely a real problem.
I'm just too lazy to give 'em up.

Ahhhhhh! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

K-cups!?!?!?! Seriously? Ugh. French press or my Lavazza espresso maker. Next thing I'll find out is that DB uses margarine.

I hate reheated old coffee...and hate wasting that nectar of the gods.
I drink my PETE'S...and don't plan on stopping.

Keurig sucks.
Go Cuisinart.

FFS. Using a tea bag for tea is like making lemonade from a mix. People are such lazy slugs when it comes to what they put into their bodies.

If only people knew the joys of loose tea!!!

Many many years ago, my daughter gave me loose tea utensils for my birthday... I've never looked back. I happen to enjoy the whole ritual of making and drinkng tea, so I may just be a weirdo that way. But like anything, made from "scratch" is always the best. The flavors and aromas just can't be matched with pre-packaged teas.

Best lazy person invention ever. Mine came with a little k-cup filter so you can use your own coffee in there. PITA to clean. Only used it once. Wife makes me make coffee the real way.

I've got my wife hooked on Black Rifle Coffee (thx Project) so it's fresh brewed or nothing.

Black rifle makes the K-cups too.

Really good coffee.

Nothing wrong with rituals. I like rituals.

A lot...

Yup. Just like with most things in life, there is no short cuts. Putting in the work with anything will always give you the best results.

I'll try it...but havent found anything better than PETE's 'Big Bang.

I like the "silencer smooth" or "just black" best. Never had either in K-cup form though.

I see only one solution..

As long the easy plastic solution is on the table, people will use it.

Ban plastic from the public domain, and only give special permits for industry to use it.. with recycle and check ups.

I've got a machine that lets me do Coffee by the pot or K-cups.
I'll get some on your guy's recommendation.
I like my coffee strong...which is best?

We actually now have 'coffee bags' over here too...

Truth. The easy way is seldom the best way. And anything worth doing is worth doing right.

We cheat ourselves when we take shortcuts.

The ones I listed were light and medium. If you like dark roast there is one that's called murdered out which is extra dark. Beyond black is dark roast and good too.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Of course you do! I bet you have the bestest rituals ever!!!

I wouldn't expect anything less of you

There goes the "promise" of wind power. Wait until the world learns about the big piles of used blades that will be laying about and, at present, are not recyclable. "Green Power" is not nearly as green as the propaganda says it is.
One solution is to burn non-recyclable used plastics for power. In a high temperature combustor with scrubbers, all of the nasty stuff is broken down or filtered out.
