I am an old soul, I guess. Or, sadly, I am just getting old. However, honestly, I cannot fathom or stand the keurig machine. I will never be the one to purchase it or the k-cups. I will gladly continue with my old school, full pot of Mr. Coffee!
I was just thinking about it while I opened a container of new coffee this morning. The beautiful aroma! I just cant get over it.
Like, why in anyone's right mind would you choose a k-cup over a scoop of beautifully ground coffee??? There are so many to choose from! Well, there use to be. Now I go to the grocery store and the aisle is over ran by k-cup boxes and the ground coffee or whole coffee beans are in one tiny section, on maybe three shelves; when before it use to be the full twelve or so. It is a bit heart breaking. The K-Cup is taking damn over and I am NOT happy about it.
Here is my argument against K-cups. Do you realize how much plastic that is? Especially for an avid coffee drinker? Dude, I can easily drink at least 4-6 cups of coffee a day. If I used the keurig, that would be 4-6 single k-cups every single day. That is, on the high scale, at least 42 k-cups a week, 168 a month, and 2,016 a year!!!!!!
A. Pollution. - that is a shit ton of plastic just off of the fucking k-cups.
B. That becomes EXPENSIVE AS FUCK!
So, then I get the argument, "Well Delta, what about the reusable k-cups? Duh!"
And to that I say "Fuck your logic because you are still having to buy an additional damn piece for your keurig machine that should come standard like a good ol' Mr. Coffee and then we still run into the same issue that the pre-ground or whole bean bags of coffee are slowly being dwindled out of grocery stores to make space for the wide variety offered in non reusable K-cups. BOOM BITCH!"
But, anyway, long rant brought to an end, I am VERY pissed off this morning and thinking about the capitalism and blatant mass market sucking of funds and induction of pollution. Please reuse, reduce, and recycle.
