[Electronics-talk] for keurig coffee brewer owners, the keurig 2.0

Fri Sep 4 19:07:06 UTC 2015

I might not've gotten mine if I hadn't received it for Christmas. On the 
days I do feel like coffee, I do 2-3 cups, never usually just 1, so that 
single serve one with the permanent filter might be a better option next 
time the Keurig breaks. I knew hotel rooms usually had the single serve one 
where you put in the coffee packet and make a cup.
