i have a keurig machine and a flavia machine. both are single serve. the flavia colombian is the best thing on earth but i have to order it, so i got the keurig for when i run out. the newman's bold is as close as i can get to the flavia colombian (now under the name alterra), and i can adjust the strength by making a smaller cup. coffee should be rich, strong, and fresh. single serve=every cup is fresh and hot, every time.
i am particular about my coffee, and to me it is a greater sin to drink old burnt coffee than it is to drink fresh coffee that may not be my absolute favorite. to hell with coffee pots and those demonic warming plates. i HATE when people leave the warmer on. 10 minutes on that thing and the coffee is ruined. who the fuck would rather drink hot mud than cooled coffee that doesn't taste like ass? these people ruin coffee in offices everywhere and are the reason that so many of us suffer through gross coffee at work. "oh just drink it and shut up" is NOT the correct response.
