Keurig's decision to pull its advertising from Sean Hannity's Fox News show is not going over well with some viewers.
Social-media users on Sunday posted videos of themselves smashing their Keurig coffee makers, two days after the company said it would no longer advertise during Hannity's show.
Keurig and other companies faced pressure to pull their ads following Hannity's interview with Roy Moore, the Senate candidate in Alabama who is facing allegations he engaged in sexual misconduct with a 14-year-old girl and pursued several teenagers while he was in his 30s.
Critics of the interview said Hannity went too easy on Moore. By Saturday, several companies — including Keurig, 23andMe, and E-Trade — announced they would pull their ads.

Few years ago when the daughter was visiting we made the trip to ATL for a Trader Joe's...found their Volcano Roast (I kid you not) and loved every pot of it. A few months later found that they had discontinued it. Bad Trader Joe's!
That's what I use. Another neat feature of the AeroPress is that it has absolutely no electronics. Neither the current version nor any future version is likely to be connected to the Internet of Things, get hacked and participate in denial of service attacks.
Not really. Mrs Prov1322 has enjoyed a 16 oz fresh cup for years from a "one cup" brewer with a mesh filter that was $10. She grinds her decaf beans, pours the water and hits the switch.
LOL!
Waste of money. A health hazard too?
By coincidence someone I know is trying to give away a new Keurig "individual" coffee maker among 20 fellow employees...
No takers.
Hi have a Flavia coffee maker. Absolutely love it. Very good coffee made by the Mars company.
This is really stupid. Why should I smash a perfectly good coffee maker that I already own? How does that hurt Kuerig? I can see not buying a new one but smashing my own property? Not likely.
Got mine back in the Dark Ages. I’m sure they are available online and maybe in grocery stores. Here’s one of many - https://shoponline.melitta.com/product/pour-over-1-cup-brew-cone-black/single-serve-pour-over-coffee-makers
They make really weak coffee. I’m glad to be rid of ours.
Still smile wide when I think of the perk pots that our parents and grandparents used...and how bad that result was.
Keurig has already lost my business. The coffee is not much cheaper than what I can get anywhere, and not nearly as good.
Compared to Starbucks, it is a bargain. But only compared to Starbucks.
The Deli downstairs sells a huge cup of mediocre coffee for 50% more than a small cup of mediocre coffee from a Keurig.
Nothing fru-fru about it.
Every coffee producing country in the Western Hemisphere does NOT drink their coffee black...
I buy the Espresso blend from the local Mom and Pop coffee shop - good Christians who support the 2nd Amendment and have no problem with folks carrying in the establishment and it is really good coffee - and cheaper than the crap they sell in reduced sized bags in Walmart or anywhere else...Regular drip machine for mornings, a single cup machine (cheap from Dollar General) for a booster and a Cheap espresso/cappuccino machine for when we want a “treat”...never cared for the taste of Keurig coffee..
So sue me
I’m not sure what the reaction will be at the office when they Kuring thing goes missing.
No need.
But if being "macho" is important enough to post about it, why not just chew on coffee beans?
but it’s a pain to clean
= = = = = = = = = = = =
Is one supposed to clean their OWN personal coffee pot and mug/cup?
The only way to keep the flavor in the ‘mid watch’ form is to NOT put soap to anything related to it.
My glass pot is so black I have to look down into it to see if anything in it.
I make a pot - 12 cups, get about 3 1/2 CUPS out of it, nuke it till empty, make another pot...etc etc etc
When the ‘floaters’ take on a crunch I will rinse cup with hot water NO SOAP...
Perfect blend for that ‘oil stained’ cuppa Joe.
I looked on Amazon before posting. No idea that the singles were so expensive. But, I suppose, if you're used to buying Starbucks at ridiculous prices, a buck for a cup of coffee looks cheap.
I expect there will be a rash of unexplained boating accidents in offices around the nation...
Navy man? In the Field Artillery, they used to dump five lbs of ground coffee into a ten gallon pot of boiling water and hang a dipper on the side. You had to remember to empty the dipper and skim liquid off the top or you would get a cup (One quart steel canteen cup) of mud. It was an improvement over the old horse artillery days when they would issue soldier green beans to be roasted over an open fire in a skillet, then ground by pounding with a rifle butt on a flat rock and boiled.
Nowadays, I use a french press or Mister Coffee.
