[Electronics-talk] coffee pots

That's interesting.  Didn't think you were supposed to use K-cups more than once.

  SShannon, I had to chime in heree, finally somebody else who drinks coffee like I do, Lol. I've got a percolator here at work and a Kureig at home. I wanted to chime in and say that if you really wanted too, you can get three cups out of a k cup instead of the normal, one. The second and third cup isn't as strong as the first, but it's still coffee. Found that out one evening when I was running low, and I've stuck to it ever since. I'm the only one in my house to drink coffee, my wife doesn't like it, but I think I would bleed coffee if you poked me hard enough, Lol. But, I digress. But, yeah, I ask for k cups for birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's whatever the occasion it's always good to get K cups, Lol. Anyway, enjoy and hope you're doing well. Take care and talk to you soon.

It has a screen, but we don't need it to operate the machine.  We love it!!  We mainly use ours on weekends and in the evenings if we want a cup.  Some of the best prices we have found are on Amazon and at Sam's, but Sam's selection is very limited.  We descale it with white vinegar twice a year to keep it working well. When funds run low, we use the My K-Cup to use our own coffee.  We have gotten two to be able to get one ready when the first is brewing.  We often ask for K-Cups for Christmas, birthdays, etc.

They are very inexpensive as compared to the K-Cups, so clean up is super easy with that too.  The only button on it is the on button.  Once the cup is brewed and pours into a small coffee cup, it shuts itself off.  It only makes an 8 ounce cup of coffee, nothing larger.
