K-Cup creator John Sylvan regrets inventing coffee-making system

I don't understand it either. Lousy coffee and tea, and too much junk afterward.

It's convenient. So convenient you find yourself buying $80 worth of coffee a month instead of $8
Went to the stepdaughter's for the funeral of a family member, so many were staying there and visiting that the next morning we bought her a $20 drip coffee maker and a can of coffee. She'd used $30 worth of Keurig that fist night...

Buy the cartridges that you fill with your own coffee, as that ends up costing you mere pennies a cup , but you still have the convenience of single serve.....Personally I have a regular coffee at home and at the office maker I bought bunch of da Vinci(mostly) sugar free syrups. English Toffee, German Chocolate, Peppermint, Irish Cream, Gingerbread, Tiramisu, Vanilla hazelnut and Salted caramel

That's the part that gets me. I see 14 servings of Keurig tea for $11 or something? I go to the grocery store, and there are 200 bags of tea for like $5.

Can people not do the math?

For me a pot of coffee single serve!

This is my 32oz (about a liter) coffee cup:

That only works for the older versions. The newer K-Cup 2.0 version can only use it's own cups. They are coded so that no other brand will work and the machine will not blend it.

If you want a pot, why would you buy that system? We tossed our tassimo a while back.

Yup!

Agreed. I have a friend who's office switched from drip coffee machines to K-cups. She hates it, as she's the type to drink an entire pot before it gets cold.

I have a Keurig, a drip coffee maker, and a french press. Different applications for each. The drip is for large gatherings or weekend mornings when I'll happily drink a pot while sitting at the kitchen table. French press is for when I feel pretentious. ANd the Keurig is great for filling y travel mug in the 10 minutes between when I get up and when I leave for work. I also like that I can buy variety packs of K-cups and check out different coffees without comitting to a couple weeks worth of grounds.

Daughter left one here it is taking up room and gathering dust.

I have a drip coffee maker, an old perk, and 3 french presses of different sizes. Hubby even has a propain drip coffee maker. I have a pot a day. It's a bitch on the weekends when people think I should share.

Whatever happened to:

I heard the interview with this guy, yesterday. He never meant it for the individual, at-home application, anyway. He sure doesn't think much of the manufacturer. He only got $50,000 for his invention, which is peanuts. It's far more than almost every other inventor working for someone else gets. Most of them get a salary. In my experience, others benefit from the invention.
