We use a gizmo where you can just buy regular coffee and stuff it in there and then reuse. Probably more environmentally safe because we don't even use a coffee filter - no trees to cut down. I think they call it a K gizmo reuser thing-a-ma-job or something like that. It works great, you can grind your own beans and it makes really good coffee, and most importantly you aren't trashing the planet with all of that plastic waste. Of course we never use it, because it's much easier to just buy the plastic-y thing and throw it away when you are done, but we do have it and we could if we wanted to. So that has to count for something.
You're good in my book.

While I'm happy to drink a phenomenal pour-over (planning on trying this one next week: http://store.georgehowellcoffee.com/cof ... kenya.html), the convenience of a latte in under a minute with no clean-up at 5:00 in the morning is reaaaaally hard to beat. My Nespresso isn't going anywhere.

I really like whatever Burger King has. McDonald's is crap.

I've never had BK coffee, but I actually like McDonald's coffee. It's about the favorite thing on the menu with me.

Has chicory been discussed in here. A couple weeks ago, I got a cup of coffee in New Orleans and it was made with chicory. I bought a couple packages of it. Pretty good stuff. Definitely unique.

Illy's pod espresso is paper. Better taste than Nespresso too.

That brings back a memory:
Went to Café du Monde on first trip to New Orleans, ages ago for a conference. My boss' s wife, she came along just to be suck up the luxuries and make the rest of us miserable. the lady had kept chirping about coffee with chicory the whole trip.
en route to the place "coffee with chicory"
Waiting in line "coffee with chicory"
drinking coffee "coffee with chicory"
buying some to take home "I'm taking home some coffee with chicory"

never had it, but thanks to her I've never want it.

33rd head explodes.

you’ve ever wanted to make something other than coffee from your Keurig, well, you’re in luck. Campbell Soup and Keurig have partnered to sell soup to consumers looking for something savory from their do-it-yourself machine.

“We know more than 80 percent of people who buy Keurig pods also buy Campbell’s soup, so bringing together two products people love in one handy kit is a winning idea,” said Michael Goodman
