You do realize this is starting to sound like the old ladies at work that have their stitch and bitch sessions, right?

Rinse and toss in the dishwasher. Oh, these burdens we bear.

I've never had a problem just rinsing it out. Takes like 5 secs max. I'll throw it in the dishwasher once or twice a month whenever I actually run a load through.

Well, not if you are rejecting the dishwasher. 😝

A valid point... I'd suggest a little extra rinsing, and then several sessions with a trauma counselor to help get past the pain.

I miss my Keurig so much...I used the reusable filter, with some good Gevalia coffee, and my mornings were always blissfully caffeinated.

I saw this earlier,running errands (as I ran out of coffee this morning) saw a bag of Gevalia-house blend medium roast,and bought it.

I've never had a k-cup brewer,I had a Hamilton beach Single serve+Carafe machine,which I absolutely hated.The single serve coffee,would only let you fill 12 or 16 oz of water(after it would brew you might get 8-10oz of coffee),and took so much ground coffee to make it taste like a pot of coffee.It wasn't worth it at all,and I dumped it to go back to my Brewstation.

Yeah, the refillable K-cups are definitely more cost-effective AND environmentally friendly, but they are annoying to clean.

Dave, Costco sells "K-Cup" coffee that is basically just grounds, a filter, a paper lid and a small plastic ring:



It's not perfect but it's a significant improvement.  And it's the cheapest coffee Costco sells!  I'm not sure if it's a regional offering, though.

That's still too expensive. This is the shit right here!

Yeah, I don't use my dishwasher much. Maybe 2-3 times a month. Hell, I rinse and/or wash plates and utensil over and over and use the same ones for a few days.

The convenience item that is troublesome for me is my George Foreman Grill.  The one I have (which is probably at least ten years old) has only one cooking temperature, so it tends to burn some things.  Then the cooking plates aren't removable so it's a pain to clean.

I agree here also. I have an old small one that's probably 15 years old. It does OK but it's not worth trying to clean it to use it. If I want a steak I can use a cast iron pan and/or broil in the oven and get just as good if not better results. One thing I do use the Foreman Grill for is grilled cheese or other grilled type sanwiches. I just spray the bread with butter flavor Pam and go from there. In that case it's as easy as wiping off with a damp paper towel.

I like the chromebook but since my desktop and tablet are always on, the 10 seconds that it takes to boot up the chromebook seems to slow me down, haha.

Anyhow, my model chromebook currently has android app integration in the beta channel of the OS. So hopefully it won't be too long before they are in the stable channel. We'll see if that makes me want to use it more. It's great for trips though.
