I enjoy coffee so we try different coffee all the time, what your favorite K Cup brands?
Tim Hortons K cup pretty good but I like a strong, deeper Columbia expresso coffee. I make only a half a cup setting at a time.

What your favorite K Cup brand?

K cups are absolute shit.

Congrats on contributing to an insane amount of waste that is not easily recyclable.

Oh, get real^^^....Typical enviro-whacko. You got plastic grocery bags and water bottles, of which only about 40% are recycled, and you are worried about 1 square inch of plastic. Besides you can buy coffee in mesh pods that fit into your brewer or buy the reusable screen cups to put your own coffee in if you are that concerned about envro-effects.

Next to fresh brewed at your local Starbucks or coffee house, you can't beat K-cups for quick, easy, and consistent brew. The best thing about it, is you don't waste a lot of coffee brewing a pot that you don't completely drink.

My personal favorites are Starbucks Cafe Verona, and Green Mountain's Dark Magic, but alot of the french roasts by several different companies are all pretty good, so I'll buy what's on sale.

I'm far from an "enviro-whacko". I suggest you read up on the waste created due to lazy fucks and their K-cups. It's shit coffee anyway, weak as hell.

I suggest a French press if you don't want a whole pot, but I know I know....takes too long. Like I said, lazy fucks.

I've done a french press, and yeah...it takes too f'in much time and it's too inconsistent. Sorry, I have a life, so I don't have time to spend on brewing coffee. Like I said, you can make your own with your own coffee in a reusable cup, or buy and support the companies that put their coffee is all paper cups.

My family does a great job recycling, so if I create 2 cubic inches of plastic waste a week, I'm not going to sweat it.

No, lazy if you're reason for using K-cups is..."I have a life"


How did people with lives function before K-cups? I'm sure so much time was taken up to make their morning coffee. :laugh:

Auto is very passionate about K-Cups. I am not a coffee drinker, but I think spending 10 minutes on coffee isn't worth it. All depends on one's schedule. I wake up in the morning and need to get to the gym, work out, shower and get to the office NLT than 8:15. 10 minutes to spend on coffee puts a damper on that.

lol you are right. I have a strong dislike for them.

I get free drip coffee at work, so I don't deal with making it during the week.

As for the meteoric rise of the stock of the company over the last 5 years, the gains have paid for several years of college. : thumbup:

We do the San Francisco Bay Breakfast Blend cups.

We've never been too worried about the coffee itself since my wife gets different flavors of creamer. So as long as the coffee isn't dog shit, the creamer takes over.

Also, the San Francisco Bay k-cups are biodegradable. So there's that.

Same with me but I don't use creamer. They are pretty cheap and easy to order on Amazon pantry.
