If they need to mask the flavors with milk and sugar they don't actually like tea or they're buying lovely tea. I don't put a drat thing in my tea.

It's actually a pro marketing strat. They don't want people to buy the machines and then not buy pods, they'd rather cheapskates bought knock-off machines. That expands the market for pod-based coffee in general. Keurig would love love love it if folgers switched to disposable pods that were cheaper than Keurig's product, because then everyone would be normalized to pods and Keurig would keep their luxury status in a bigger market.


It's like how Gillette doesn't care that CVS has house brand multi-blade disposable razors. The victory was already won when they drove older safety razors out of the mainstream. It's difficult to be a luxury leader with a product as simple as a safety razor blade. Disposable razors with battery-powered vibrators in the handle are something you can advertise.

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.

don't put non-distilled water through a device that heats it, unless it's been really really well filtered?

This is also how people gently caress up their irons. Gotta put distilled water to stop mineral build up.

Yeah you guys don't get it, if you want the machine to continue to make lovely coffee for you, you need to filter the water first and also tongue its balls and beg it on your hands and knees lol

Protect your investment in a machine that makes tepid underbrewed coffee out of gay little plastic cups

Also you apparently can't drain the internal reservoir because the certified genius who designed it apparently didn't consider that

Or you could haul it out to the city limits and shoot it like I did and then get out your 10-year-old Mister Coffee that makes better coffee and doesn't need periodic fellatio

Huh, the device that heats water for my morning coffee has somehow worked fine with non-distilled water for like 10 years. I guess I'm just lucky???

It's not boiling off the water like an iron would though, it's just heating it up to around 190.

So not nearly as much water evaporates and mineral build up would be much slower.

:coffee: Anyways you should drink your coffee in whatever way you want. If you want to pay more and have it in little packs you can do that. If you want to buy organic civet-rear end coffee beans you can do that too. The coffee I buy is about 10 bucks a pound and I grind it before I make my single, sad cup of coffee in the morning, using an aeropress. :coffee:

the keurig 2.0 also has an ethernet port on the bottom so one day, when the technology has been developed, you can connect your coffee machine to the internet. because that's something we all definitely need.

If you are going to do a homemade filter then make sure to get the kind of charcoal that come pre-treated with lighter fluid.

Keurigs produce excessively creamy soda pop bullshit. It's not even coffee anymore.

Get a coffee pot and buy good coffee beans. Coffee that you can't drink black is not worth drinking. Coffee that you need to add a bunch of man cream and sugar to is not worth drinking. Stop drinking terrible coffee, get real beans, get a coffee pot, and stop complaining about your lovely tasting overpriced keurig poo poo
