A Thread About COFFEE

So those are legs, and not Juan Valdez's whiskers?

I hope the cockroach juice doesn't dilute the percentage of caffeine, or I'll have to make it even stronger.

I read one of those unusual lists the other day and they said if you drink ground coffee ten percent of the grounds are cock roaches.

I remember the same thing - except I read it in Mad Magazine about 50 years ago - no kidding.

The sad thing is that no one yet makes (reasonably) decent coffee pods with recyclable or compostable pods.

Both Peets and Nespresso themselves will recycle the pods (their own, anyway) for free. You can get a bag from them and, when it's full, drop it off at a UPS store. We've been doing that for a couple of years.

And you are completely right about the convenience. I make one "real" pot in the morning; if I want more when that's gone, I use the Nespresso.

Aren't there reusable pods that you can just refill?

^ If you buy whole beans and grind them, do 10% of them turn into cockroaches?

I grind my own coffee beans, and if there are cockroaches among them, they are mighty tasty ones which are quite adept at disguise.

Yes, but that's VERY inconvenient, messy, a PITA.
