Broke down and got a new Keurig after 8 years
Feb 7, 2019, 10:46 AM

Old one died. Descaling and paper clip trick didn't work this time.
I know the coffee is not great, yadda yadda. I'd prefer to grind my own beans and use a coffee pot, but that takes too long when I have 12 minutes 37 seconds to get out of bed, get dressed, make lunch, and take kids to school. So I have to compromise.
Anyway, new Keurig has a "strong" setting that's awesome. My coffee now taste much closer to fresh ground beans. Strong and Pete's Major Dickason's Blend and I'm good to go.
That's all.

When you want extremely overpriced coffee that tastes like it was made from the ashes of a California wild fire.

Egg Zachary. Less sleep and spending even more money....

sounds like a plan. I already loathe the price of a cup of coffee in the Keurig. That's what...$0.40 a cup.

That's why I try and spend as little as possible.

Except on important things 
AC units, toilets, appliances, tires, carpet/flooring, paint, things you use everyday that you want to last.
I've been called a cheapskate, err...frugal at times, then other times people gawk at what I spend lavishly on. Priorities....

The kids have the u haul at your house packing up what they want to keep and the rest goes in the estate sale. I guess if you hate your kids you can go to Vegas and blow your money on hookers and coke. BTW, the hearse and funeral will likely cost as much more than a u haul trailer. So you can buy a few more lines in Vegas and do a cremation I guess.

One pot of coffee would last a week in our house.

We do use one of those at a friends beach house. About as simple to use as a space shuttle, but keeps coffee fresh for a good while.

water in the reservoir the night before. Wake up, turn on, take shower, enjoy fresh coffee when you get dressed.
If you program them, it is even better. I do not trust that however, as my wife sometimes likes to unplug things for no reason that I can find.

grind your own beans. If it can happen in Aero house, it can happen at yours.
