I have to have my coffee in the morning. It's been that way for a long, long time. Nothing special. Just plain, simple cheap a$$ coffee. Folgers, Maxwell House..... What ever is cheaper. Just the basics. Starbucks..... No thanks. Don't need to spend lots of money on a simple cup of coffee.
Then comes the Keurig. My wife and daughter but more so my daughter have wanted one of these things for years. I've always said that I can't see spending that kind of money on a damn coffee maker when my 12-cup Mr. Coffee brewer, that costs about $29 @ Walmart, works just fine. As what usually happens, what women want, women get. My house now has a Keurig coffee dispenser sitting on the kitchen counter. Not just any Keurig, the Keurig 2.0 - K500 model. The latest and greatest of highly overpriced, commercialized kitchen appliances.
Flash forward a couple weeks..... So I'm making my morning cup of coffee at our kitchen's Keurig 2.0 coffee center where my old faithful Mr. Coffee maker once sat. I've come to like the speed of this new machine and consistency of each brew. Thinking to myself, there's got to be a way to put that cheap a$$ coffee into this thing so I'm not wasting money because of these stupid little proprietary coffee packets. I take a quick look online and see that yes there are reusable devices that you can place your cheap coffee in and brew the basic cup of coffee. I asked my wife to look into buying one of those and low and behold she came home with one from Walmart that cost about $4. Today was the first day that I decided to try it. I get out my cheap coffee and place the correct amount into the little k-cup type dispenser. I open up the Keurig and place the little k-cup into the machine. Finally, a way to drink the cheap stuff and beat the system.
Wait a second. What the hell is this? My new k-cup dispenser is not compatible with the Keurig 2.0! Are you freaking serious? The damn thing will not use the reusable k-cup because it is not an approved device for our Keurig 2.0 system.
Back to the internet. YouTube. What a wonderful tool when used properly. In a matter of minutes I find that there is a video out there named, Keurig 2.0 refillable Filter Cup Hack. Really, there has to be a 'hack' for me to enjoy a normal, everyday cup of coffee. What is wrong with this world?
Now, where's that damn glue gun?
Stay tuned.....
