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

Sat Sep 5 10:40:53 UTC 2015

The machine uses pods. These are pre-measured amounts of coffee which are similar to what you are describing. In addition, the Keurig comes in three different models. One, the original one has the various menus. The others have a few standard buttons to determine size of the beverage being brewed, etc. That's about it as far as I know. I hope this helps.

Last year, just after Thanksgiving, I snapped up a KitchenSelectives CM688 Single Serve Coffee Maker from Bont-Ton for only $9.  It is totally blind accessible, and brews a perfect 12 ounce mug of my favorite coffee in less than 3 minutes.  All I have to do is fill the water reservoir up to the desired quantity (8 oz, 10 oz, 12 oz , or 14 oz) by feelingthe the respective 4 raised, tactile vertical line embossed on the inside back of the reservoir, add about 3 teaspoons of my favorite regular ground coffee to the filter basket, which contains a removable, permanent mesh filter, place the included 12 oz ceramic mug on the base, and flip the rocker power switchc on.  In less than 3 minutes, I have a full mug of delicious, piping hot joe, to which I add some sugar and Coffee-Mate. What could be easier?  No confusing onscreen menus to navigate or array of buttons to select mug size or temperature or other such nonsense.  And cleanup is a breeze.  I just remove the filter basket and rinse the coffee grounds down the drain under the kitchen faucet.  No overpriced and overrated Keurig coffee maker for me!!!
