i probably need to invest in a keurig machine at some point
Indeed!!! How else can you get 10 cups worth of coffee for twice as much as a pound of whole beans?

You can get the same effect by lighting a dollar bill on fire and throwing 1/2 oz of recyclable* plastic away every time you have a cup of joe.

*I once worked in recycling. Plastic recycling is indeed a scam. But we desperately need it to work. And it is getting closer to reality every year.

any alternatives? idk brewing a whole pot when it's just me drinking coffee seems excessive. maybe i could get the premade brews at the store? that's probably still more cost-effective than iced coffee at starbucks

1-someones said it before, i dont take notes

If you are not sure who said it, then don't randomly accuse other people for saying it. I never say such things and I give zero *** about the owner of Twitter.

Then look at the video and tell me what you see

What's there to see in a video? The only thing that can show one's injury and health condition in detail is a hospital report, not a video.

Do you actually like coffee or is it the caffeine you're after, to try keep you awake?

Because that guy does not look like hes been in a plane accident that crashed and burned


I've been in car crash before. When it happened I didn't even feel pain. I was walking and moving like normal and I thought I was uninjured.

Several hours later I started to feel terrible pain. THEN I realized I was in fact injured and went to the hospital.

You can't really judge someone's health condition until that person checked with doctors. Just because someone is walking, doesn't mean the impact did nothing to the body.

Maybe his injury is not severe, but that's different from saying he is uninjured lol.

If you drink say a cup a day, a 1kg bag of beans (2.2lbs) will last you two months or so, depending on type of coffee.

if they're burning the kpods (which is likely), do you think that ends up wasting more space than burnt grounds/filters?
I can compost used grounds and filters. Or just use the grounds as fertilizer in a bunch of applications.

And I hope they aren't flat burning plastic. There are waste incinerators / generators that safely can burn plastic though.

Air Florida Flight 90
Ok so from what I can read on wiki about this, I dont really know how the plane crashed, but it definitely sounds like it didnt crash and burn.

Asura.Iamaman said: »
Delta 191
From what I can read about this one, it crashed and skid a good while which will help slow it down slightly until it crashed into a few things, which was the culprit for a good chunk of the passengers downfall.

Both of these crashes were from the early 80's and were due to pilot negligence (Air Florida) or lack of tech (Delta 191).





Anyways, if a fast food chain had to put out multiple (4) health related hepatitis a outbreaks in a 12 month period at four separate locations all across the country, what would you say?

Keurig is horrible and the coffee is so bad. You really don't want to go back when you get those nice espresso machines from Europe. We really do have the worst watered coffee in America

Burnt k-cup packaging, grounds, versus brewing a single pot of coffee for 12 cups in like 5x less waste? I imagine so.

We use both in our house because the women are addicted to Canadian coffee pods and the men don’t care enough and just share a drip pot.

I mean I guess if you consider a pot of coffee that is made in the morning, that you then drink from for the rest of the day as "fresh" coffee then sure, I guess that works.

12 bucks a pound for vermont coffee company beans(costco). About 10 grams to pull a shot, so you get maybe 45 out of a bag. Works out to about 27 cents.

Kirkland kcup pods are 35 cents, peets/starbucks are more like 62 cents even in bulk. They're also only about 10 grams of coffee, so they are more expensive. Even if you have 3 shots a day and use peets/starbucks, it'll take 2-3 years to break even on most espresso machines.

Don't think that's a great argument for savings, though if you have a lot of coffee drinkers you can probably shorten the timeline. Seems pretty well agreed that you get a better cup out of similar quality whole beans though, and you have way more options. Plus, you can do an Americano with an espresso machine but you can't make an espresso with a kcup pod.

It's a quality vs convenience argument, not an economic one. Primarily.

Coffee is a productivity consumable, while money is just the product of your effort.

Buying a machine that improve the quality of your productivity consumable is an investment instead of cost.

I do think about buying a machine to have a better coffee when I move to my new home.

The coffee I usually drink daily has very low quality admittelly, so I think worth the price improving its taste at least.

Deciding about coffee solely thinking in its cost is about the same as heading to fight Bumba lv999, and when your party is preping, you pop a meat mithkabob there.

Yeah, you can go walk out of plane wreckage claiming you are an passenger BUT the government can check the record and see if you really leave the border.

If this man called Vishwash Kumar Ramesh never leave the border then people will find out eventually. Unless the government somehow decided to help him hide the truth (but why?)

Again, common sense told me luck can create outlier results in a plane crash and common sense also told me border control will have record on who exits the border.

So the chance of actually faking this for a long time is low. If it's indeed fake then we should see the truth surface soon enough.

India is laughably corrupt and incompetent.

I would never suggest what I did if it was a first world country, it's not. It's 100% believable that this man missed his flight and then saw the crash and then went there after and saw an opportunity.

He did not survive this crash, and if he did his body would be an insane state of damage. He would not be walking around (as can be seen in the footage) like nothing happened.

That you're arguing this is sad. You don't even have any arguments, you're just saying he lucky tho.
I've been to India a few times. The airport security is insane, I'd say more serious than the US. Mostly because they are always scared of Pakistani Muslims.

I wouldn't believe they faked confirmation he was on the plane unless there was some financial motivation but noone is going to kill 250 people for the cash to do a few interviews or a book. This is a mad dumb position to take.

Good preparation improves the quality of your coffee even if you use low quality beans. But ...

Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer, producing around 35% of the world's coffee supply.
So why can't you get decent quality beans?

P. S. I highly recommend burr grinders.
