Top o' the mornin', dudes. Got the world on a string. Sittin' on a rainbow. Got the string around my finger. What a world, what a life. I'm in love. - I'll have some of what that guy is having with my coffee.

That coffee maker looks cool. I had a Bunn once, the kind that kept the water hot and displaced it when you poured in a new potful. Great when there is constant coffee drinking going on.

Got the whole weekend to spend with Jane. Gonna go for walks, ride our e-bikes, fly kites, cook outside, drink IPAs and try to stay far away from the Bay Area. Traded all the hustle and bustle and douchiosity of hipsters in the city for some trails and mellow cowsbros (lol, hashtag "cowsbros") out in the boonies. I think it is going to add ten years to our lives. Peacy grooved out vibes to all my Corner bros and babes for the whole weekend.

Man, I love a good IPA or even better, a double IPA. I have gotten on a hard Root Beer kick here lately, though. I was surprised just how tasty they are! Not Your Father's Root Beer is great!

How do you like it? My husband and I were thinking about getting one but the reviews are so so on them.....
It's been pretty good so far. Today is the first time it's ever given me any problems. I do clean it regularly though. The only thing negative I can say about it is the cover over the basket is a little on the thin side, and the heat from coffee brewing can cause it to buck up a bit at times. I keep an empty coffee mug on top of it to keep that from happening. For $85 it's not bad for a dual brew coffee maker.

I love Sierra Nevada IPA and Torpedo Extra IPA as a good session brew, but when I really want to kick it up a notch I drink these.

Sounds good, I will look for it. I like Torpedo too. Been drinking this Hella Hoppy on tap at the pubs, terrible name but a double with lots of flavor. Also had this grapefruit double once that was out of this world. So many I can't keep track of them, so when I go out I usually just say, "Hit me with your best double IPA on tap with a ton of flavor," and I am almost never disappointed. And colder the better. Cheers, my friends!

I have this one:
49983.5d3ede7a5d1bbf7541f7f37b8bfbd1e7.jpg

It's a Hamilton Beach Flex-Brew.

That's the one I wanted!!!! In laws bought us another one for Christmas and it doesn't have a pot, but a push button thing to get the coffee out. Damn Dripper sticks all the time and coffee drips out and all over the counter/ floors. Makes for a a VERY grumpy morning

You should get one, I doubt you'll regret it. I just couldn't see paying what they wanted for a Keurig machine that would only make 4 cups at a time at most.

Exactly!!!!! I wanted to use K cups bcuz I like to try flavored coffees. The hubs....no way in hell- he likes strong, black coffee. I like a some coffee with my flavored creamers. I know, pathetic.

So I'm not spending that kind of money for me to try stuff. That coffee maker was the only one I could find with both at a good price.

Same scenario here.
I like a strong cup, since I only have one.

That's why I wouldn't buy it either, so the MIL did so (for her visit pleasure also).
One of the other things I don't like about the new Keurig machines is the fact that they read a code on the cups to brew it right. A lot of the less expensive cups don't have the coding and it won't brew them.

There's a hack for that.
Open it up and cut the optical reader wire, and you can use K anythings. That's on youtube too, while I had mine apart the first time.

Mornin' y'all... Just kinda lurking, reading, trying to stay caught up. Feel like shit. Think I'm gonna fast all day, just liquids. And my sense of smell is so fucked up, EVERYTHING smells bad. Except my vape, strangely enough, it's still fine, though sometimes the exhaled vapor doesn't hit me too well.

Sounds a lot like my attitude to my stomach today: if it doesn't wanna behave, fine! I just won't feed it! See how it likes that! When it decides to get its shit together, then it can have food, and not before!
