How many pods per day?

[I_am_not_mafia]

I have a single person coffee machine. It makes one single cup of coffee, about a tea cup's worth. It has a plastic re-usable filter and cost me about 20 GBP, although Amazon sell something similar for 15 GBP. I also bought another single cup coffee machine when I lived in Germany and that cost me 10 euros.

I have owned the coffee machine for about 20 years and use it most work days in the morning.

This gives me proper filter coffee without having to make a whole pot, is quick, reliable and leads to no plastic waste.

I've pasted pictures of coffee machines on Amazon that look similar.

This is a similar design to what I bought in Germany for 10 euros. It has two cups pictured but you can just use it with one cup.



This is a similar design to the one I use most mornings although the one I use takes a metal cup half that size,.

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

 Years ago, I had been feeling like crap for weeks, and then I noticed that black mold was growing in that tank.   I never used it again. 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.

Something to consider with peppermint tea: add a small amount of ground ginger to it when you are queasy or have an upset stomach. Works wonders.

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.
