This is not a K cup, it is a smaller filter and a single dose of coffee. You can either use a "pod" a coffee bag like the Maxwell house thing or a teaspoon of coffee in the reusable filter basket. We make a 12 cup pot first thing in the morning, my wife has a mug or two and I work on the rest all day |

But working nights for years and drinking machine coffee may be part of it. Funny as I had free coffee grounds available for years, but rarely made coffee at home. Had the computer in a major coffee roasting plant. We could have a smashed cans. Was cheaper to give it to the workers than open it and pour it back in to system. |

I like really strong coffee, though. The pot my wife makes in the morning is just before overflowing the basket when it brews. She knows just how much coffee to use to keep the grounds out of the pot. Some of the best coffee I've had was in Brazil and Venezuela. I brought a couple of kilos back from there. The East Indian girl that sits across the hall from me makes freshly ground French press coffee every morning. It's good too, just too "fiddly" for me to do it myself. That reminds me, I need to bring her a pound of some good beans. |

In those days, 7-11 got its donuts from Montgomery Donuts, and they were pretty good. Then the chain changed its coffee and donut supplier, and both products went to hell. The local 7-11s don't attend properly to their coffee decanters, and many times it is lukewarm. I don't often stop there if there is a WaWa nearby. |

wrote: 7-11 got its donuts from Montgomery Donuts Interesting. That was started by Carl Probert, a former IBM CE at NIH. He quit IBM over a salary dispute (IBMs mistake IMHO) and went off to make doughnuts. He used to drop by the office after that with a couple dozen, if we promised the branch manager would not get any. His secretary may have slipped him one but the troops stayed true to the cause. The strange thing is shortly after he left, IBM created the position hardware"account rep" and granted the salary range he wanted because he was right. It just took them a while without him to figure it out. They guy they put into the job was not nearly as good. |

This is more than that. The coffee has a different flavor component that I have never found anywhere else. Even the chef at my wife's place wasn't sure how they did it. (at least not in any way I could discern) It is definitely in the process because our electrician buddy works at the Ritz and he brought me some of the coffee. It was good but not Ritz good. This is also not some espresso cup at a time thing since they make huge pots of it. |

Decent coffee grounds, and probably the perfect brewing temperature in the machine. |

On Sunday I usually reward myself with a Donut House or MacDonald's pod. Reward yourself? Are you off the booze? |

They are for people like myself who used to want an occasional cup of coffee during the day but most of the time don't drink much coffee. I have one cup in the morning with Mrs.E. while she tells me how great Trump is. :-) When we bought the K-cups for it we didn't buy the Keurig brand or Green Mountain. Dunkin' Donuts sells their coffee in K-cups and that's what we'd get. DD in K cups isn't bad, but not as bold a brew as I like. I use the Keurig a lot and like it. One at home, one in the rig. Always ready to go. |

She sold me a cup of regular coffee from her personal pot. .... Its comforting to know there are compassionate people out there... You ask for an Americano. I figured that out myself but it is just a shot of espresso in a cup of hot water. The lady who ran the restaurant had a Mr Coffee in the back for herself. The absolute best coffee I have ever had was at the Myrtle Bank Hotel in Kingston Jamaica. The Ritz in Naples was a close second. It is a very strong coffee but not bitter, burnt or harsh in any way. It just has a very distinctive taste to it and I am not sure how they do it. Try Caribou Coffee's "Mahogany". It's a dark roast with a smooth flavor. Actually, the best coffee is whichever 'bold' Costco has on sale. I'll keep my eyes open for Caribou. Does it come in a K-cup? |
