[Electronics-talk] question about the Keurig 2.0

[Gerald Levy]

Forget about those expensive,and mostly inaccessible Keurig single serve and 
mini coffee brewers.  From what I have read, they are overpriced and 
overrated.  Recently, I received a gift of a cool little gadget called the 
Moyo Brew-a-Cup Personal Coffee Maker.  When I first picked up this little 
plastic gizmo, I thought to myself, are you kidding me or what?  How can 
this thing possibly work.  But to my surprise, it not only works, but brews 
a great cup of coffee using any brand of regular coffee grounds.  It is so 
easy to use that even a 5 year-old could do it.  Basically, the Brew-a-Cup 
consists of a filter compartment with a permanent mesh filter to which is 
attached a removable water reservoir.  To make a cup of coffee, you remove 
the water reservoir from the filter compartment, and fill the filter 
compartment with about one table spoon of your favorite ground coffee.  No 
paper filter is required.  You then slip the water reservoir over the filter 
compartment and place the whole unit over your favorite mug.  Then you heat 
up a glass of water in the microwave on high for about one to one and a half 
minutes, and simply pour the hot water into the water reservoir of the 
Brew-a-Cup.  The water drips through the grounds in the filter compartment 
directly into the mug, and in less than 3 minutes, you have a hot, cup of 
freshly brewed coffee.  To clean the unit, you simply remove the water 
reservoir, and rinse out the grounds under the kitchen faucet.  What could 
be easier?  No bells and whistles.  No paper filters to buy.  No power cords 
to futz around with.  No LCD or touch screens to deal with.  And no large 
contraption taking up space on your kitchen counter.  It is totally 
accessible.  I'm surprised that the blindness-products merchants don't sell 
it.  It works at least as well as a Keurig brewer , if not better.  Of 
course, it is very low tech, which may not appeal to some consumers who seem 
to believe that you cannot brew a decent cup of coffee unless you use a 
complicated, expensive high-tec brewer with a lot of bells and whistles. 
But sometimes, low tech solutions work best.  To be fair, I am not a coffee 
connoseur by any stretch, just your average Maxwell House kind of guy who 
enjoys a freshly brewed cup of coffee with my breakfast every morning to get 
me going.  The Moyo Brew-a-Cup will fit over most 8 to 12 ounce mugs and is 
available on Amazon.com for under $10.  For more information:
