You think k-cups are hipster?
Do you even french press?

Probably a problem with whatever company they both use to make their actual cups. I’m sure they’ll get it straight with enough customer feedback.

This isn’t the problem.

The problem is with the size and/or initial moisture content of the Community coffee when the k-cups are manufactured. Appears that over time the coffee “sets” inside of the cup so the pressure from the Keurig has nowhere to go, and blows out the top of the cup.
Hmm I'm gonna have to try this. I got some Sam's brand cups and been having pressure warnings and grinds in my cup.

If you’re trying to put down someone for using k cups, bragging about drinking Folgers coffee shouldn’t be your way to do so.


folgers is fricking lit dude.

i guess you only drink coffee beans from volcanic soild in sumatra, eaten by birds and pulled from their shite.

I don't drink coffee every day so I like them. No sense in wasting a whole pot when I want a cup.




I drink 1 Starbucks breakfast blend k-cup in the morning and that's my coffee for the day. K-cups are easy, they taste good enough, and there's very little cleanup.

Seriously? The premium roast ones are one of my top 4 favs. The other two are Community cafe speciale and house blend.
Gevalia signature blend is the other.


I've never had any of the above leave grounds in the cup.
My Keurig 5 years old.

what self-respecting red-blooded american male adult doesn't knock out a pot of coffee by themselves over the course of a day?

my favorite part of the day is coming home and putting an afternoon pot of coffee on.

Green mountain coffee is where it’s at


Yeah, Mrs. 19 was Mgr on duty yesterday and I stopped by for a cup of Joe. I chose the McCafe after she tried to talk me into the Green Mountain...won't be the last time I failed.

No grounds in my cup, but her Green Mt. kicked it's arse.

K cups good idea for the office, but we both drink Gevalia at home, out of this humbly priced bad boy

We got rid of the Keurig and got one of these Ninjas. Its definitely better tasting coffee but a little more work than a Keurig. We do the travel size and my wife and I split it.

I use the Community Coffees brand K cups. Never had a problem.

I much prefer coffee from my old drip pot. I only drink one cup a day though.

jcaz - Real men drink black coffee no sugar from an old mini coffee maker.



My memories are of a hole in the ground and coffee brewed in a tin can, hoping I wouldn't get shot while cooking on a hole in the ground fire.

I wasn't much more then a kid then, so I will not make man coffee claims, until years later in a different time and place.

My memory of war zone coffee was that it was pretty good.

K-cups are better, but I am 50 years older, so....

Get a V60, buy some freshly roasted beans, and actually have a good cup of coffee.

I love to get good beans and grind, but I’m a baller on a budget

all you need is a $30 chemex and a bean grinder to make fabulous 'gourmet' coffee on the weekend.

oh and a tea kettle for the water.
