1. check this video out

2. I despise those machines.

At the very least, the K-cups should be banned, and people should have to buy the re-usable cups. One of the WORST inventions ever.

[Duppers]

3. Agreed.

4. I have the reusable cup

It was only $3 on Ebay last year when I bought it.

[Bubzer]

19. Agreed...on all points.

5. Think of how they boost the economy!

!2 pack cost the same as a can of coffee.

What a scam.

6. Oh, so I am not the only one who noticed that.

I still brew with my drip brewer, with a reusable filter.

No plastic parts come in contact with my hot water…

8. As bad as disposable diapers.

12. How did babies shit before them?

18. I was chief diaper washer for my 2 kids.

My wife freaked, didn't tell her I did it for my 2 youngest siblings as an elder brother.

Later in life I have a lifetime supply of cleaning rags.

9. I recyle mine in my shopandstudio,and I use a reusable cup, too ....

but I still feel guilty over the electric it uses just sitting around, so I unplug it and my wife gets miffed about having to reset it. Its a terrible thing I will use uncomfortably until I figure how to keep out of a landfill.

10. We use the reusable cups

Although I did buy some "instant" k-kups to use with houseguests. That's the only time I buy them. It's truly great when you have a houseful of guests all awakening at different times.

I usually use my regular coffee pot in the a.m. or a reusable Keurig for a cup of coffee in the evening, and my husband uses the Keurig to heat water for tea.

11. Great cartoon. When I go to the grocery store, I marvel at the rows and rows

of liquids in plastic containers and wonder how many of those could be changed to something dry, lighter, and in cardboard (preferably by a fast-growing plant instead of a tree). And who benefits the most? The oil industry. They make the plastic containers and ship the heavy fluids.

14. Also, I don't know about you, but the few times I've used K-cups, I've tasted plastic in my coffee.

Messing with a person's coffee is sacrilegious!!!

There's potential health hazards there with the ingestion of plastics... in addition to all the environmental concerns.

[valerief]

15. I don't use them. I have an old fashioned steel percolator. I also drink instant coffee, which

probably contains creepy chems.

[Bubzer]

17. The term "chems" makes me think of the fallout game series...

considering what some of those chems do to the game character, I'd agree.

20. Just bought the reusable cup for my machine...

Works like a charm, piece of cake to clean, and saves me a ton of money whilst helping the environment out...
