The Keurig that I got for Christmas last year is going in the garbage today. It stopped putting out full mugs of coffee despite the vinegar I put through it to the point that today a "full" cup of coffee made about 2 tablespoons.

consider though that a keurig is guiltier of the worse sin of being a device that's managed to convince you that paying for coffee by the cup in your own home is a good idea.

Its not planned obsolescence if it takes a poo poo and dies less than a month after you get it.

I used to drink coffee every morning but this machine has made it such a loving hassle that I can't remember the last time I touched it.

just get an aeropress it's like 18 dollars or some poo poo and makes real good single cups of coffee with minimal effort

if your a coffee snob just make sure to have a bean grinder at home and between these two things you really have to be one anal mother fucker to be unhappy with the cup of coffee you make

i will admit though the aeropress sucks rear end for making multiple cups if you have company a lot. youll need something else

I have no opinion on coffee, but my studio monitors started dying a while back. Turns out the psu cooks components around it before it too dies. Failure by poo poo design atleast.

Read TCC, then put everything up your butt.

e: Back on topic:

quote:

On 4 June 1942 Pharmacist's Mate Edwin Miller was stationed on Sand Island (part of the Midway Atoll) and was making ready for the expected Japanese attack. Miller prepared undrinkably strong coffee which, he claimed, was to be used in an "old fashioned" treatment for shock - administration of strong coffee through the rectum via a Murphy drip. When the attack got underway, Miller was joined by his commanding officer and doctor in charge, Lieutenant Commander A. E. Ady, who did not appear to know the medical purpose of the coffee and asked for some to be poured. Miller thought that it would be amusing to let his commander drink it, but made the mistake of also drinking some himself. Dr. Ady continued to tell jokes throughout the attack. Miller, however, paid for his practical joke and was sick.
Buy a percolator and a Murphy drip op.

just a regular coffee maker is pretty cool you know. The ones where you buy ground beans, some of which are nice enough, and filters are cheap. try it guys. your morning drink doesn't need to be gourmet but it should probably be better than a dirty sock (instant coffee)

keurigs are for idiots who prefer cute gadgets and gimmicks over actual coffee

just get a french press or a pourover stand instead and save the lattes for the coffee shops with real machines

someone gave me a keurig and it failed after 2 months and after like 5 minutes on the phone with them they replaced it under the warranty specifically designed to replace things when they break unexpectedly within the first year it was pretty cool

i found out recently that most things come with warranties its pretty nuts
