Shame on you for using electricity to acquire stimulation! Do you think nuclear power plants are at all safe!

It still sits on the counter, because the wife can't bring herself to throw anything out, and if I do, I catch hell for it. We are renting a storage facility for my mother in law's possessions after we moved her in with us. I'm thinking that I'll put it in storage, from which it will "mysteriously" disappear. :nods:

Good grief! They are not hard to clean. It's one of my "End of Month" checklist items. Google "Keurig clean reservoir".

And remember, correlation doesn't prove causation.

We don't use it because the pods cost too much. Of course I cleaned the tank after that episode.

Seems like "before" was a good option.

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind

Indeed.

I understand the Keurigs are convenient, but damn they're expensive. Even at $0.50 a cup, if I drink two cups each morning, that's $30 a month. And I live on a fixed income, so I have to save everywhere I can (except on pizza, of course). Compared to a bag of ground coffee at $8, it's a no-brainer.

I see people paying upwards of $50,000 in some cases for the convenience of not riding the bus. I don't mind a small expense for coffee.
