What if Hitler invented the BMW i3 Subcompact Electric car?

Keurig posted:

“We heard loud and clear from consumers,” said Brian Kelley, “who really wanted the ‘My K Cup’ back. We want consumers to be able to bring any brand and bringing the my cup back allows that.

“My K-cup was a terrific addition for the consumer. It wasn’t used a lot, but for the consumer it was a nice element to have if they were given coffee as a gift….We took it away because ‘My K cup” wasn’t going to work with our new system.

“Quite honestly, we were wrong. We underestimated the passion the consumer had for this. We missed it. We shouldn’t have taken it away. We’re bringing it back.”

Are you grateful you loving assholes, Keurig was only trying to provide you the finest in coffee technology for your own protection and safety.

quote:

Keurig’s explanation was a model of what not to tell angry consumers. The company said the change was for the consumer’s own good.


“The My K-Cup accessory and other reusable filters are not compatible with Keurig 2.0 Brewing Technology,” the company explained on Facebook, “because the brewer has no way of determining what beverage is being used or how much coffee is being added, and therefore cannot adjust to factors such as brew strength and amount of water, which could represent a safety concern…”

No?

quote:

“My sister bought a new Keurig and did not know it only takes Keurig K-cups until her third call to Keurig. Now my brother-in-law cannot use the coffee I got him for Christmas. I bought him Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee which you do not carry. And I have the original Keurig but when it dies, I will never buy another Keurig product. This borders on the unethical forcing people to buy only the K-cups you make. And you owe me $50 for the coffee!”

Look at this ungrateful bitch trying to force substandard coffee on her brother in law, grow up and let him enjoy the finest in coffee technology that he deserves for putting up with your bad attitude and coffee.

Keurig introduced the latest in coffee technology earlier this year Keurig 2.0, as a favor to you the consumer they made it only accept the latest in Keurig coffee technology Keurig 2.0 instead of the reusable plastic pods that you put your substandard coffee into their fine brewing machines.

the customer can't be trusted to place coffee in a pod. they could put anything in there. what if someone laced it with cyanide? then you'd have cyanide in your pod and you'd die. but keurig 2.0 would have saved your life.

My mom got me a new Hamilton Beach coffee maker for Christmas. It does one cup at a time since and I can use whatever coffee I want since it uses a metal filter. gently caress Keurig and gently caress 3O.

Very good point, Keurig K-Kups 2.0 ensure a fine coffee experience that won't kill you, you think people would be grateful but no. Enjoy your cyanide laced coffee idiots.

The real trick is to design a coffee delivery system which makes it impossible to even use non-producer coffee. A good example would be lavaza a modo mia pods which rely on the machine permanantly destroying the pod to function.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
