I can’t imagine a K-Cup size coffee. A couple the size of D-cups are enough for me.
My kid loves Keurigs cuz they have lots of cool lights and it’s fun to run a single cup through.
But the inventor is right. Too expensive for a cup of coffee.
Which is why I bought a boring Bunn with the fast heat option, get 10 cups in 3 minutes through good ‘ol drip filter.
High Blood Pressure on the fast track.
They are only getting .33 ounces of coffee per per cup? I think they are doing it wrong.
The relativism is absolute silliness. There isn’t much to stop someone from living in the woods as a hunter gatherer, but there is a strong reason why so few do. Even descendants of indigenous people do not live like their ancestors.
A book I enjoyed very much was, “The Ecological Indian.” In it, the author, Krech, came to the horrid conclusion that native people were, well, people, with all of the goodness and badness associated with every other human. What I enjoy even more than the book are the silly, hateful comments on Amazon concerning this book by people who will eschew faith but deify a tribe.
K-cup coffee brewing is presently the preferred method of coffee brewing for our Kabul based troops in Afghanistan .
Very user friendly , the k-cups are supply chain handy as well
I doubt Sylvan will give back the Brinks truck amount of money he’s made on this. Like all good liberals he’ll keep his money but say he feels guilty for what he’s done. Feelings and good intentions mean more than action to the left. How long have we seen these limousine liberals do this? Forever....
They really should make the entire K-cup cartridge entirely bio-degradable. I don't think it would be that hard, and some companies already make K-cups that are about 90% compostable.
I'm pretty sure they could make a K-cup entirely out of corn starch like the packing material that replaced styrofoam peanuts. Strengthen the top indexing ring with bio-degradable soy glue. Sounds like a pretty significant business opportunity, actually.
Whoever invents that is the next multi-millionaire.
Too expensive if you want 6 or 8 cups of coffee.
Cheaper if you only want 1.
When he gives away the profits he made from it and goes back to his previous standard of living, I'll start taking him seriously.
I use 10-12 ounces of water in a Hamillton Beach coffee maker that accepts K-cups and the coffee comes out just fine.
But I only want 1 cup.
After working thru a literal dozen coffee makers (including 2 Keurigs), I’ve settled on how to make an excellent cup fast using an AeroPress ($30 device, makes 1 cup, negligible waste) - though I thoroughly sympathize with those using a Keurig and its “insert pod, push button” simplicity & speed.
Best is a vacuum brewer, but that’s a devoted half-hour of work.
I forget where I purchased it, but I bought a three-pack of refillable replacement filters (plastic and metal) to use in our Keurig. I put a scoopful (I guess it’s about a teaspoon and a half or thereabouts) of medium ground coffee into one and put it in the filter, and place that in the Keurig. It does the same thing but you can buy a can of whatever type of coffee you prefer and use that. My wife is the only one in the house that drinks coffee, so it’s as economical as a drip or perculator machine but it makes a fresh cup each time.
Hey! The latest health news is that coffe is good for you ... that is ... if you drink over three cups a day! Really! That’s what is the latest.
For GOOD HEALTH, you need at least three cups a day! Really!
You can get bio-degradable single serve cups but they are not made by Keurig. I use those mostly and can get them shipped. They still cost more than a pot of coffee but mostly I don’t want to make a pot of coffee.
I also have the single serve which I fill with my own coffee. And that doesn’t cost any more than a regular cup.
Just about everything is racist now.
