I understand the business model, but I don't agree with it and won't support it. And a quick search for reviews of the Keurig 2.0 system shows that I'm not alone.
I find it unbelievable anyone would use a K-cup machine and generate so much waste to begin with with [censored] tasting coffee for the price.
For starters, it's much less expensive to make a single cup on occasion than it is to make an entire pot. And as far as waste, I use San Francisco Bay coffee that is not only much less expensive than most, but most of the materials of the K cup are biodegradable. To top it off I'm not using the electricity to heat an entire pot of coffee and keep the carafe hot for an hour or more. So your your waste comment is pure and simple ignorance, nothing more.
And since taste and flavor are subjective, that portion of your comment is also irrelevant.
