I am not a fan of the Keurig system, which brews an average to not so good cuppa joe and uses more landfill than a family with ten kids on Christmas day. Try pods... same variety, better brew, without the eco-terrorism. Cheers! Stumbled onto this blog randomly out of a Google search... funny, funny sh!t.

Not as obvious as a “tap,” and they say it’s a completely line so your tea or noodles won’t taste like coffee. Hot water is accessible through a hot water button.

Oh and don't forget to remove your "K Cup" from the machine when your done using it.

Avoid the flavored ones. The Sumatra blend is a good compromise between "awesome boutique coffee" and "No-Doz downed with a glass of tap water." The French Roast will just leave you kinda pissed off, because it tries to operate above its station in life. You'll be all like, "Quit actin' all hard, Mr. Keurig French Roast."
