I hate them. They're bad for the environment and I drink a pot of coffee a day.

White midwesterners do love the crap out of them, though. My mom got one and thinks it's the coolest thing ever.

I drink 1 to 2 cups, makes it perfect for me.

Hate is such a strong word, michigancat.

Usually only drink one cup per day (on my way to work) so the k-cup system works for me.

I walked in to a bad situation at my work. The "coffee club" there has 1 commercial sized percolator, and the hayseeds there think it's ok to not only use Folgers medium roast exclusively (wouldn't have a prob with this), but to actually reuse the grounds.  They reuse the same grounds plus they add a couple scoops of new grounds once a day until friday, when they completely change out the grounds and filter.  It's nasty, probably a health risk.  When I asked why they do this it is to "save money on coffee."

Yes! I too have practiced this money saving technique.   When I was 3 years old and my glass of Kool-Aid would get low, I'd simply refill it with water.  Of course, I wasn't drinking Kool-Aid anymore, but it still looked like it.

They are definitely nice when you need a quick cup and some of the coffee is surprisingly good.  They have almost doubled in price in the last year though.

My father-in-law is serious about roasting his own beans and they're better than anything I've found elsewhere. Grinding those and putting it in my french press is amazing when I have 10 minutes or so.  I tried Radina's house blend beans this week and wasn't impressed at all.

Rather than worrying about getting my own coffee maker, I would just change jobs. What a disgusting place.

Has more to do with shitty coffee. When you roast it in 100 pound batches, like Starbuck's, it ruins and burns the beans. You could just pull some crap out of your fireplace and brew that if you wanted.

I agree, there's nothing better for the environment than for gallons upon gallons of fresh drinking water that have been used to make coffee that goes un-consumed to then be tossed right down the drawn and then have to be re-treated using various chemicals and power intensive processes.

I love coffee, but I don't believe I have ever spent more than $12 on a new coffee maker, nor do I intend to in the future.  All it needs is an on/off switch as far as I'm concerned.  Why should I pay extra for a timer that I won't use or whatever else they put on those expensive ones.   :dunno:
