I can probably pretty easily make a video of taking mine out at 1300 yards with a 6.5 creedmoor heh.
Awful machines. Whole bean coffee from Black Rifle Coffee Co. Grind it myself and brew in my Mr. Coffee. Hate Keurig.
Love BRCC...going through a bag of the VTAC Berzerker Blend. I’m a happy girl
Whew is the not this sh*t again guy?
We have their Caffeinated AF cups.... which spell out the words.... right on the cups. Whoops, sorry Grandma.
I’ve used a fine grind in my French press before in a pinch and gotten good results. The plunger is harder to push and there’s a tad more sediment but not much. I thought it would be sludge city but to my surprise that wasn’t the case.

The capital used to get into the Coke in a K-cup venture really hurt them. They used layoffs and other methods to cut their overhead. I saw a 15 year man get fired because he used vacation time he hadn’t earned to take care of his father on his death bed. Lot’s of people were very stressed wondering if they would come next.
I saw people running two machines at once when the machines should have two people at each system. Try doing that working 16 hour shifts, six days a week for a month. The place got up to 90 degrees for days at a time. Air conditioning would never happen even though I’ve worked in places with air conditioning that were three time the area. To make matters worse, the roof leaked. Pathetic.
I’ll never work there again.
Goodby Keurig. Hello Lipton Tea and Celestial Herbal Peach.
Stupid is as stupid is going to get!
That was at Coke, or Green Mountain? and the machines..? what part of the process may I ask?
Went out the door and into the garbage on Saturday!
We do the same. Ours is a Hamilton Beach Flex Brew. We have purchased two, one for work. Keurig is so overpriced.
I thought Hannity’s show was more anti-Moore than pro-Moore.
THAT was fast! Keurig CEO Bob Gamgort backpedals on Hannity, claims it was ‘outside company protocol’ maybe they looked at what happen with the NFL
Keurig is a lot like Starbucks - I only drink it if there’s no other option. And it’s expensive! Most of their stuff is pretty weak and I have yet to try a k-cup thing that tastes good. It’s drinkable with lots of sugar though.
Agreed. Typical liberal organization, in my opinion. Sat in meetings where the topic of discussion was “How do we engage the employees, while not being too obvious about ignoring their input”. Many ex-IBMers where I was - never seen such a cut-throat, backstabbing culture - it was encouraged.
Keurig Green Mountain in Sumner, WA ran coffee. They were running the Cama 14 K-cup filler machine and Schneider Packager at the same time.
The cost per cup is excessive indeed.
You can have my Mr. Coffee when you pry it from my cold, dead hands!
So---the machine fills the portion-sized k-cups with ground coffee (possibly grinding it as part of the process) sealing the top
Supplies going to both the machines, and outputs too, all at the same time. No "pause" buttons to momentarily stall the process on either end? That would slow production if there was.
Gotta' jump on a fork lift to bring things coming and going to each end of the process too? Or was there somebody to do that? If not, then management would need to get off their comfy office chairs --and do the book-keeping on their own time. Of course they won't. And it's the guys who are running two machines working 16 hour shifts fault.
The K-cup filler machine has a canvas bag weighing about 1000 lbs, filled with ground coffee from the roasting department (in the same building), hanging over a hopper. Through the hopper flows the coffee into the K-cup machine which portions exactly enough coffee in the individual K-cups fitted with a filter paper sleeve. This machine outputs 300 K-cups out to the packager down a long conveyor that streams them in single file. The machine operator must keep the plastic cups and the filter paper loaded in the machine. When the overhead bag runs out, he must hoist another one over the hopper. Meantime, the packager must have the finish carton cardboard, the shipping box cardboard the glue pellets and a pallet loaded in their respective positions. A robot arm loads the boxes onto a pallet and when it is complete, it is expelled out and another pallet is rolled into position for the next set. Meanwhile, the operator uses a pallet jack and rolls the finished pallet to a shrink wrap machine which is as much as 100 feet away.
The machinery is very unreliable. The carton maker jams up, suction cups fall off and go in with the K-cups. K-cups jam on the conveyor, and other problems cause the operator jumping from filler machine to the packager. I have touched the surface which makes a 12 hour shift a nightmare. A 72+ hr work week is insane.
