COFFEE

[Sgtusmc]

This is strictly between Mr Coffee output and a Keurig brand coffee maker. Some say the Mr. Coffee output is watered down versus the Keurig. What say you?

I know, dumb topic, but I was bored and haven't been on here for awhile.

A few more pics for those who had hoped for more in this post....

They're NERF but oh well.

Of topic, but this is a gun owners website. if those are nerf guns, they look too much like todays weaponry. If someone was pointing one at me, I would probably draw and fire. Modern hi tech arms already look like toys, and toys are being made to look like modern arms. Kind of a dangerous situation. Remember a few months ago when police responding to a call smoked a latino teenager in an alley when he refused to drop a toy that looked like an combat rifle.

I have both of those coffee makers, and prefer the keurig without a doubt. I completely agree that the mr. coffee tastes watered down. I like a fairly strong coffee, and using the same brand and flavor of coffee I cant get the mr coffee strong enough for my taste. Even with a full basket of grounds. Keurig is a little more per cup but well worth it in my opinion. I like Caribou coffee if you are wondering.

Keurig & Caribou Obsidian FTW! Haven't used a traditional coffee maker in 3 or 4 years.

I'm a Mr. Coffee guy all day long, but then again, when I drink coffee I guzzle it by the gallon. Seriously, I will drink a full pot over the course of a day no problem. And I like Folgers or Maxwell House. I rarely splurge on the good stuff.

I like the taste of the Kuereg, but I simply can't drink just one cup of coffee and I feel guilty burning through 5-6 k-cups in a day. It's wasteful and expensive.

If the Mr. Coffee style tastes watered down, just add an extra scoop of grounds before brewing.

Kuereg and

French Press FTW!

My Keurig machine is made by Mr Coffee. And you'll note on the bottom right there, it is officially licensed by Keurig.

I don't know which way to vote?????

Keurig is GROSSLY overpriced for what you get, especially if you tend to have more than a cup or two. I also find the flavor from those machines, even using 'premium' cups like Dunkin, Starbucks, Caribou, etc. to be lacking.

A grinder and a french press is definitely the preferred way to go...though I do plenty of grinding beans and putting them into a programmable drip machine so that its ready to go in the morning.

Whatever coffeemaker you choose, I highly recommend freshly ground coffee. Even cheap beans freshly ground taste better than most pre-ground coffee IMO.

I'm a Mr. Coffee guy all day long. I like a strong flavorful cup of joe. The Kuereg coffee tastes like instant coffee.

 

[AceDerringer]

We love our cuisinart...we have a keurig and i just hate messing with the cups...plus i domt like the thought of leaving water in it more than a day...

Not trying to derail thread or start an argument, but I just wanted to respond. Those Nerf guns have been painted to look like that. The ones from the store are mainly bright yellow, bright green, and bright orange. Very hard to confuse with a firearm in stock configuration.


Anyways, Mr. Coffee. Same reasons as MCgrease08, and I don't want to have to wait for another K-cup to brew.

Bunn
On the weekends I usually have coffee on from about 6am to 8-9pm. I'll easily drink 4 pots a day.

 

[Bluejeeper]

I prefer the Keurig. Mostly because I only drink a cup or maybe two on the days I do drink coffee.

 

[halfmileharry]

Just make it strong and black.

 

[selinoid44]

I wanted an all the above option!

Give me a decent drip coffee maker with fresh beans and a grinder. We have Keurig's at work and they make a good (but overpriced) cup of coffee, but I can make better coffee for half the price in a drip maker like Mr. Coffee with fresh beans and a grinder.

 

[Snapdragon]

Mr. Coffee, Folger's Classic Roast, and real Half and Half. I'll go without coffee before I'll put some crappy white drywall dust creamer in it.

I know the Keurigs of a couple of years ago had a design flaw in them where a water line would leak all over the electrical parts with expected results. Before dropping coin you might do a search and see if they've corrected that issue.
