Totally unfair of the universe to make you CREATE your caffeine drink BEFORE you are caffeinated. I’m convinced this is the reason K-cups have taken over the market: You can almost just push the button and take a tinynap© until it’s ready.

When I buy my herbal tea, I just buy one kind that seems like an interesting flavor.

I made coffee last Monday with Red Bull® and was halfway to work before I realized I wasn’t in my car……………………

I’ll just have my tea, thank you.

I hate Kuregs. I’ll stick to my trusty ol’ French press. Though I’m not above resorting to instant if the moment calls for it.

One thing I realized with these coffee pods is that I don’t like flavored coffees.

Today’s classic Sunday strip we’re missing (And this one is part of Roger’s midlife crisis arc):

Be considerate and step out of the line while deliberating your options.

Coffee pods are an instrument of Satan, and you can’t change my mind.

‘Single Brew’ coffee machines are not only a waste of money … they’re a waste of time.

Okay, who’s the wise guy who put a packet of kopi luwak in here?

You can’t taste the 1st cup; its sole purpose is to get you to the point where the 2nd cup makes sense.

The druggies are waiting for The Pusher to hurry up

Sorry, can’t relate; I’m a tea/hot chocolate/cola guy.

We had to replace our drip pot a few months ago and it was difficult to find one that used cone filters. The deeper bed makes for better coffee. Also, non-smart, no timer, etc. My wife found a Krups, cone filter, one button. It’s only extra feature: it shuts the heater off after an hour. I don’t need caffeine to get going, but she does. I just like coffee.

Waste of money, time and bad for the environment, all for bad/stale coffee. For less money they could have brewed a pot enough for three of quality coffee.

Then, Dad looks at the next K-Cup and mumbles: “Kale Dandelion”. “Now, come on!!, Who put that one in there?”.

As long as it’s black…

Ever so often I get caught in the Java Catch 22. I put my mug in place and press a button to start the brew, only to realize I forgot the K-cup…

I start my day with a stick of gum, a drink of water and head out on a 2 mile run. I don’t ever drink coffee.

“Decaf? How did that get in there?”

Okay, I’ll use this one…no, wait, it’s coconut. Seriously, though, I used to buy flavored coffee pods, until I realized that once I add the cream and sugar, I can’t taste the coffee flavor any more. (Can’t taste the flavor? Excuse me a minute or 20…COVID-19 test negative – it must be the cream and sugar, then)

Nantucket sand brew!?!?

Classic Coke Day.

Hot Chocolate Kcups.

For the 1 cup I have Monday -Friday the keurig with refillable pod is good. But 3-4 cups on the weekends is a pain. I might move onto an old fashioned percolator.

Black coffee in a French press is the best

“All I want is a proper cup of coffee from a proper copper pot.”

I can remember when Mr. Coffee introduced their drip brewer that was a quantum leap from percolators and became a huge success as a result. Hiring ‘Joltin’ Joe DiMaggio to do their commercials was an added touch of genius. On the other end of the spectrum, the Keurig coffee maker is one of the biggest scams ever inflicted on the human race. Yet, inexplicably, people spend big bucks to buy them to have the privilege of also overspending on the coffee. They ignore the age old rule of “If it ain’t broke, don’t FIX it!”

I bought a Bosch Tassimo espresso/coffee/tea/cocoa maker in France. I loved it and tried using it in the States with a voltage converter, but the available pods were just not as good (sob) …

We have a Keurig for occasional use. I bought a reusable filter so we can brew our coffee of choice, dark roast Lavazza beans. We have never tried the pods because they are all medium roast. Keurig doesn’t heat the water hot enough so I still use my 10 year old stovetop espresso maker.

since ive never officially drank coffee, I can say the i feel vanilla hazel-nut would probably taste the bet, based on cream alone

I don’t know why anybody would drink them. Bad for the environment and the coffee isn’t good.

Am I missing large stretches of time, or is Peter (?) really kind of young to be caught up in the vortex of caffeine addiction?

Italian Roast.

Here I assumed he was misidentifying what was in his hands. I mean, how can he see with his eyes closed?

Black, no sissy stuff allowed.

I always set Mr. Coffee up the night before. Three scoops of Dunkin House Blend for a full pot. Set to brew ten minutes before my alarm goes off. Pour a cup and sip while I shave.

How can something that smells so good taste so bad?

The one reason I’d like to get one of those machines is to get easy access to a variety of hot drinks.

Millions and millions of pods go into trash every single day. They are completely non-recyclable. Not that anyone gives a damn. Give me death if I cannot have my convenience?

This is why I get my caffeine in pill form. #NoDozIsLife

It’s now the 28th for heaven’s sake! How come there hasn’t been an update?

What the hell is wrong with COFFEE FLAVOURED COFFEE?? Apart from the fact I cannot stand the taste and smell of any type of coffee

Definitely either a vanilla latte 3 whips or a French roast iced day.

do all of ’em

I don’t drink coffee, but I think I would do “vanilla-hazelnut”.

how can he read if his eyes are closed
