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...
He sold the company in 97 for 50K (at least that’s what I read).
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
Damn! I thought they were thimbles.
i only need one cup. so it’d be a waste if i don’t use k-cup.
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.

Do the reusable pods work well for you?
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.
Gross description....and unnecessary.
