I can’t imagine a K-Cup size coffee. A couple the size of D-cups are enough for me.

[Regulator]

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.

A 12 pack of Folgers K-Cups, for example, sells for about $6.72, giving you about 4 ounces of coffee.

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....

[The KG9 Kid]

I sort of agree with the inventor.

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.

RUSH: This is ABC News out of Chicago. "Do you brew your coffee using those Keurig K-Cups? The man who invented it is ashamed of his achievement. John Sylvan told The Atlantic that he sometimes regrets his invention because it creates too much waste and is bad for the environment. 'I feel bad sometimes that I ever (invented the K-Cup),' Sylvan said. 'I don't have one. They're kind of expensive to use. Plus it's not like drip coffee is tough to make.' "How expensive? A 12 pack of Folgers K-Cups, for example, sells for about $6.72, giving you about 4 ounces of coffee. In comparison, a 33-ounce container of Folgers Classic Roast Ground Coffee sells for about $8. That's eight times the amount of coffee for nearly the same price."

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 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.

[Republican1795.]

Just about everything is racist now.

[laweeks]

I haave been buying 80 at a time from a store called OLLIE’S for $25. You gotta’be a moron to pay that much for 12. You deserve to buy your coffee at StarPlucks if your that silly.

They [Europeans] observed that the eating schedule of the native tribes was less rigid—the volume and timing of their eating varied with the seasons.

Old joke: A hunter is afield with his Indian guide in the North Woods. He stops, checks his watch, and says "It is 12 o'clock. Let's stop for lunch."
The Indian looks at him for a moment, then says "White man crazy. Look at watch to see if he is hungry."

I told this joke to a bunch of Indian programmers just before a conference. They broke up and thought it was funny. The black supervisor just GLARED at me. (shrug)

[buwaya]

I want coffee for the drugs.
So if I want a mug of coffee, now, I don’t fool around.

Instant coffee. I buy in bulk.
I also use it for developing film.

People who want tasty coffee are racists.

[neocon1984]

I drink 1-2 cups of coffee in the Morning before rushing off to work. The Keurig save a lot of time and effort. You can get different sized servings depending upon how strong the blend is and how strong you like your coffee. You can also buy it in bulk at Sam’s Club.

[Caipirabob]

As a hobby bean roaster, I don't think you can brew a better cup than you can using a simple coffee press.

Tomorrow I'm trying a batch of Greek style coffee ground to powder and boiled.

We'll see how I feel when I land.

As far as automatic coffee or espresso, Nespresso is the best you can buy, the other stuff is watery crap.

[PrincessB]

At the time the White Europeans came over, they weren't eating three meals a day either. That is a fairly modern invention. Breakfast, lunch and dinner: Have we always eaten them?

[GSWarrior]

I seriously doubt that one in three homes has a Kuerig.
