Now, THATS coffee.

Started a new job this week. Was surprised that they have a Keurig in the break room (a sales office of 20-30 people - IDK exactly how many... remember I'm the FNG for now LOL). It's cool to have a choice of what to drink (they have a few varieties of both regular and decaf), but IMO it's not the best tasting and definitely don't go over 8oz per k-cup else it's too weak.
When in the office, I'll typically have a few cups in the morning and a few after lunch, so it's nice not having to worry about an a-hole taking the last from the pot and putting the empty back on the burner to scorch. In my last job I swear I'd make 2 pots and they'd be gone in 20 minutes with no-one refilling. At least this way I can always get a cup without having to make a whole pot that never gets refilled.
You guys must eat your coffee. I've had 2 different medium roasts on large cup setting and it's plenty strong to me.
What I've found is that most people have wildly different tastes.
Hey, this is Merica. We want it our way and right now!Not only do folks have different tastes, people also have different levels of ability to accept something that isn't to their taste. And for some reason, coffee is one of those things that some people seem to have less tolerance for if it isn't made how they like it.
They forgot to put in the egg shells. My grandmother used to make coffee like that. When I lived in Texas, we called it "Cowboy Coffee".I used to deer hunt in Jackson County, outside of Story, with a couple of older guys. One year, I took my brother along with us and one of the older guys gave him a cup of coffee early in the morning before we ventured out. My brother took a sip or two and said "Oh, I think I forgot something in the truck" Then a few minutes later he was back and his coffee cup was empty and one of my buddies asked him if he wanted some more coffee and he said "No, I'm good, thanks"
My brother told me later that he only went back to the truck so he could dump out that wretched coffee, because it was the worst he ever tasted and he didn't want to offend my hunting friends. Turned out the guy made the coffee by just dumping some coffee in boiling water in a pan on the camp stove and boiling it for awhile. I tried some the next morning and it was not for the faint of heart.
Looks like it's time to get your wife some power tools this Christmas!My wife bought me a Keurig for my birthday last year. She loves the thing now. Once in a while, I'll use it for the odd, mid afternoon cup when the normal pot I drink does not do the trick. Our first one lasted almost three months before it died. This second one has made through 7 months so far, so I'm hopeful it will last at least a couple of years. I'll admit, they sure are handy, but I'm not crazy about the coffee they produce. It's good enough for a quick cup at odd times, but if I want a decent cup of coffee, I'll use my old Bunn pot that cranks a full pot out in about 3 minutes.
I might give the coffee press a shot one of these days. My oldest son swears by one.
I had to google the reason for the egg shellsThey forgot to put in the egg shells. My grandmother used to make coffee like that. When I lived in Texas, we called it "Cowboy Coffee".
