And those K-cups only brew a mediocre cup of coffee on their best day. And it wasn't until 2020 when they made the cups recyclable.
I am not exactly a coffee snob - I worked both as a long-haul trucker and in some construction trades, spend time in the military, as well as being a duck hunter (stopping at a C-store at 4:00 a.m. for some java is often a real assault on your taste buds) - so I'm no stranger to a "mediocre cup of coffee", for sure. But when offered a cup made with one of those things, I generally politely refuse. I totally agree, however, that the few times I accepted, I got about 3/4 of a full serving, and taste/aroma that would never get written home about!
Yeah, that is a reasonable solution @Tsaxman. I gave one of those to my son-in-law, who adamantly refused to ditch his K-cup machine. As for me, I will continue to buy whole beans and grind them myself so as to get the freshest and oiliest brew I can each morning.
Now, I'm trying to figure out how to tie this discussion into the overall reason this site exists - you know, to give a forum for automotive enthusiasts to talk about all things automotive. The best I can come up with is that brewing and drinking coffee is kinda related to working on and driving favorite cars just like listening to your favorite music is.
They're feel-good things.
Pretty shaky connection, I admit, but it's the best I got! 😄
@Tim - I didn't say anything about washing my greasy hands... 😋
But your point is valid!
If my wife caught me dumping coffee grounds anywhere but her compost pile...well, let's just say that I might end up on that pile shortly thereafter.
Remind me not to eat burgers at your house on the same day as you change out the ring and pinion on your hot rod.
