[Electronics-talk] coffee makers

I'm referring to specifically kcups with the Kurrig. Mine is Colombian, I
think, but it doesn't matter because it is bitter using the largest size,
which is twelve ounces, not ten. I always put milk in my coffee, and not
just a drop like they do in so many places where you buy a coffee to go! I
was always told French roast was a darker roast. I used to call my husband
the coffee gourmet, since he knew so much about different kinds of coffee.
All I knew before I met him, was to open up a can of coffee, put x amount of
scoops in the basket, put water in the percolator up to the line, plug it in
and make the coffee. He used to have his own blend that he invented that he
used to buy bags of at this coffee place. Pam.
