  • New Office

    From Kurt Weiske@1:218/700 to All on Sun May 31 15:01:00 2020
    I just moved my company's servers into a new office. I need to hook up the water dispenser to the refrigerator line, and would love to resurrect the
    old Bunn coffee maker. It's got 2 hot plates and makes a decent pot of
    coffee in record time.

    The trick is to keep them clean - vinegar, once a month at LEAST.

    I'm concerned that it was thrown out in the move, as my less sophisticated office mates prefer the K****G coffee maker. Nothing like watery coffee with
    a hard-to-recycle plastic capsule to discard.

    I may have to use my desktop coffee maker - I have a single cup coffee maker that gets the water to the proper temp, and a desktop electric moka pot.

    Hello Kurt,

    I'm concerned that it was thrown out in the move, as my less
    sophisticated office mates prefer the K****G coffee maker. Nothing
    like watery coffee with a hard-to-recycle plastic capsule to discard.

    I like the K****G coffee's that I have had. It came in handy in a pinch.

    I normally use a drip coffee maker. I had a K****G given to me for christmas a few years back but it never got used much. I found it too costly for someone with a habit like mine. I don't see that K****G around here anymore. I might have passed it to my sister who only brews K****G.

    Ttyl :-),

    I use the K****G as well, we also have a Nespresso which is really good coffee and you send the aluminum pods back to them and they make pens out of them and occasionally send you one as a thankyou for recycling!

    Mine is under the table. If it's not used daily it stops working
    until you futz around with it for a few days. I only keep it because
    at xmas time my son buys me a pack of coffee for it. <Laugh>
