I need to look into those k cup type permanent cups where you can dunno some ground into the cup. I hate price/wasteful ness of the disposables. On demand cups just using ground from can. Though I imagine you lose out on using the filter which I still go by a study on some of the bad cancer stuff in coffee oil that gets filtered out in paper filters.
The reusable is also much cheaper. It has been years since I purchased K-Cups but about $0.30 per was a pretty decent price. Which if you compare that with just brewing an 8 cup pot of coffee is astronomical.

I have a Keurig and I used it when I lived by myself but it has been in storage since I moved in with my wife. I use an insulated carafe for the coffee maker so it keeps the coffee decently hot until about noon. For work I own one of these thermoses (highly recommended) that I fill up with coffee and bring into work. It is cheaper/easier than buying coffee. The thermos keeps the coffee warm all day. I've even had it come out warm when I pour it out the next day.

I have one of these and it amazed me at how well it kept coffee hot when I got it years ago. I'd pour the coffee in right after it brewed and 10 hours later it would pour out still steaming hot.

I don't understand energy drinks. They objectively taste like shit, they're unhealthy for you, they cost a fuckton and they accomplish the same thing as coffee. What is the point? Enlighten me Noods I must know.
Probably because coffee tastes like something that came out a donkey's ass.

Fucking Lancaster (Lankster). I dated a girl from there who basically changed my life. How can I ever live without Sheetz now?!?!?

Custard's last stand has pretty good burgers and fries (and concretes obviously). I usually go there when I'm back in town for lunch.

We have a Keurig in the office but I bet it sees overtime use. It's not that great, but I tolerate it. I typically put in a sugar cube or two per cup of coffee. No cream. When I make coffee at home, I use a French press. It's really not that much of a pain. I have one of those water pots that boils water in a few minutes. Usually by the time I grind the beans the water's almost ready.

I had 2 Keurigs go out on me in 2 1/2 years. The first one just stopped turning on, the second got to the point that I had to do the paper clip trick to unclog it between each cup. I bought this as a replacement, and haven't looked back.

It has four drawers, one for k-cups, pods, loose grounds, and the last one is for hot water, since using the others over time, will have build up and flavor the water.
It has 2 modes, normal and pulse brew. Pulse makes for a stronger cup of coffee. It doesn't have "size" buttons like a Keurig does, you just pour in the amount of water you want, and it brews that amount of coffee. After priming it with water the first time, it brews just as fast, if not faster than the keurig. It also brews hotter.

I had Chipotle for the first time yesterday. Had a steak burrito with pinto beans, the white rice, corn salsa, sour cream, and cheese. I'm wondering if there is something better there because I did not get what all the fuss was about.

a) Have you been to any other burrito place before? Plenty of others trump them
b) Steak IMO is their weakest meat.
