I agree, but im cheap and dont like coffee that has sat on a hot plate for a while so kcups it is lol.

I'm with you there... if hubby makes regular drip coffee I have to drink it immediately, like before it's even done brewing lol... the flavor goes to shit if it sits on the hot plate even 10 minutes. I'm with @Farmerdave I grind my own beans from a local coffee roaster, or if I'm out of the good beans, Aldi carries whole beans and Green Mountain beans aren't bad either. I make espresso drinks with my cheap little Mr. Coffee espresso machine or I use my French press... which of course I have to pour that into a big to go cup cause if it steeps for more than 5 minutes it gets bitter and nasty... guess I'm a bit of a coffee snob lol. I do like Stewart's coffee... but I always ask how long since they filled the carafe or wander around till someone puts out a new pot lol. Someday I'll have a legit espresso machine. I got dunkin today and that wasn't up to my standards... they either let the espresso pull too long or the machine was filthy. I take my coffee flavor as seriously as my weed flavor lol.
 
I’m no connoisseur of the java..but I like it how I like my men, sweet hot and blond 😂🤣😂😅😂 (just fibbing bout the last part, my Hubby is Indian and French).

Nothing but fresh roasted beans from the little shop in town and i grind them a day ahead of brewing (cause i dont like the grinding noise in the morning)

I never drank coffee until a few years ago and now I love the difference of fresh ground beans into the espresso machine, just blows my mind sometimes lol
I alternate between that and cold brew which is good in its own right

Now I want coffee but it's time to go to bed! 😂
 
I was never a coffee drinker until I went on the Keto diet. Prior to that the only coffee that I'd had that I thought was worth drinking was Guatemalan coffee through a french press. I was at some high end restaurant and my ex wanted coffee so we ordered it for the table and I took a sip of hers just for fun and WOW! After that I decided to give coffee another chance but the only thing I was finding was sewer water coffee.

After Keto I got used to coffee and even learned to like it so now I drink drip coffee and, if I get a chance to visit a higher end coffee shop, I'll go in just to remind myself what good coffee tastes like.

I have a cold brew maker too, use fresh beans for that as well... yummo... got it for 12 bucks at Aldi... who else has Aldi where they live? The "aisle of shame" gets me every time... that random aisle with all the non food items that you decide you can't live without... I've gotten a ton of cool shit from Aldi... hell my favorite Jean shorts are from Aldi. 🤣 No shame in my cheapskate game.

Bunn MCU makes the best cup of coffee I've had from a single serve or home brew machine in general. Rock solid just like their commercial stuff. Bunn knows what hot, strong coffee is, unlike Keurig.

I can always taste a tinge of plastic in keurig coffee, plus it's weak and the machines grow mold quite easily. The only person I accepted keurig coffee from was my husband's grandma... you don't be rude to your husband's grandma... his mom on the other hand... she don't ask no mo. 🤣
 
Yeah those keurigs are on the don’t do list for hotels. For the very reason you just stated. BTW since when have Holiday Inns turned into a two hundred a night stay? I was shocked. Was looking for a room for powwow. They generally run 120 or so a night. I got one using points plus cash for 91.00 a night, but were it not for that I’d be staying in the haunted air bnb For 65.00 a night.

The haunted air bnb sounds way more fun. I paid 7 bucks for a 3 pound bag of potatoes today, so that doesn't surprise me at all. Shit is getting out of control. Minimum wage needs to be like 30 bucks an hour with the insane cost of everything now.

Yeah, my parents water tank on theirs turns green at the bottom in like a week...
I end up getting a new coffee pot every 3 months. I put the water tank in my dishwasher every time i do dishes, and i run a descaler through the machine once a week.
This one is on its 3rd month, if it starts tasting shittier than normal its time for a new one lol.
 
Fresh roasted beans are on a whole other level of satisfying coffee imo. If you happen to find someone doing it locally, I'd definitely check them out. If not, Peet's is one of the few nationally distributed brands I've seen that puts the roasted on date on the package. Their Major Dickason's Blend is a damn good cup of joe for supermarket beans. I roast at home and that's fun too.

I’m a tea totaler
No coffee, no alcohol.
Just weed, tea.

You add a Reese’s peanut butter cup to that and it’s a great breakfast!

I like tea too... I have probably 20 plus boxes of various kinds in my cupboard. Homemade sweet tea with the secret pinch of baking soda to make it nice and smooth. People that drink unsweetened iced tea are sociopaths though. Restaurants that only have unsweetened 🙄 "you can just add the sugar" no the fuck I cannot ma'am. 🤣 We had a Chinese restaurant in town and the owner sold the legit oolong... he retired and closed and I still haven't found the perfect oolong to replace it. C'mon Po... order me some damn real Chinese oolong. 🤣

The place I get mine from is an hour away, I go to that town at least once a month for an appointment of some kind or to hit Lowes or another store we don't have... if I miss them or forget... it ruins my whole trip. 🤣 When I worked at the bank I'd fill in out there occasionally, and the coffee roaster is right across the street and as soon as they would start roasting it wafted in every time someone opened the door to the bank or the smell would get sucked in through the drive through tubes... I was like goddammit I need to go get a coffee NOW! 🤣

Try running white vinegar and water through it once a moth or so. Mom used to do it at the cottage and it kept hers clean and clear. Just don’t drink it. 🤣
 
One of my favorite things to do on a trip or vacation is to get coffee from a little local coffee shop. Been into some really cool ones, i should have taken pictures of them and turn it into a coffee table book lol

I wish man, fresh beans are a hike for me. Nothing within 30 miles of here that i know of.

A friend of mine used to buy green beans and roast them himself. See if any of these fit your budget.

One good thing about being back up in the midwest I call it ( Michigan) is food is so much cheaper - I just paid $5 for a ten pound bag of tatted ! Eggs are like 1?50 a dozen ! It’s nice for sure !
- granny all hotels have went thru the roof ! I had same issue just finding a room on my trip up here even ran into one that was completely full of illegal, oops did I say that ,
 
Vinegar, descaler...all this talk reminded me of a question I had.

My humidifier gives me a weekly reminder to my phone to clean it. Been setting up this cloner and it has me thinking. You can use hydrogen peroxide in the cloner to kill off algae and shit right....so would it be ok to run a little HP in my humidifier? I clean it once a week but by the end of the week there is some build up of shit...would it be OK at the midweek point to add some HP or would it be harmful to my humidifier?

Wow , Feel bad for others if we are cheaper on food here . It has to be outrageous elsewhere. To me food is my most expensive monthly cost
