RemoveRowdy :: View topic - Shit I've bought but probably don't need

did the government buy it? you're welcome.

At Lowe's today I saw that Starbuck's has entered the K cup market. They had Sumatra and Breakfast blend but only 16 cups instead of the usual 18 you get with other brands and $15 instead of the usual $10-11. I picked up a box of Sumatra but probably don't need it.

Bought a new 40" LCD for the bed room so I could put the current one in my office. Now I can watch the President's Cup while I work.

I still giggle that the person who started this thread is living off of the govt teet. Shouldn't it have been titled "Shit you've bought me that I really don't need"?

why would decaf keep you up all night?

No whey it's ghey. Coffee in the evening is boss. Think of it like desert. Instead of cake or cookies, just drink a coffee. Flavor it up with french vanilla or hazelnut for that extra desert-y taste. When it gets cold I like to throw a splash of Bailey's in it. Damn good stuff mang.

Picked up a Mr. Coffee burr mill coffee grinder at Target for $40 yesterday. I have been wanting to get a burr mill grinder for a while but the only place I found them was online and the cheapest ones that seemed decent were in the $80 range. I saw this one yesterday and jumped on it.

I don't know how long a $40 grinder will last but as of right now I say this is a good buy. If you like coffee I recommend it.

And I'm in for the taco salad party when he gets the maker.

I'd like to know more about those K cups things. They're everywhere and look like something a coffee fag like me would like. And by coffee fag I don't mean someone who drinks a lot of coffee, but someone who likes the faggy sweet seasonal flavors of coffee they serve at Starbucks or high end convenience stores.

I have been wanting to get a burr mill grinder for a while but the only place I found them was online and the cheapest ones that seemed decent were in the $80 range. I saw this one yesterday and jumped on it. Let me say first off this is a thousand times better than the "grinder" I've been using. Basically what I had was one of the cheap little grinders that basically just chops the shit out of the beans. Not ideal to say the least. This mill grinder basically crushes the bean and squeezes the oils to the surface, allowing a lot more flavor to get extracted. I set it to the finest mill (espresso) setting and basically got coffee power instead of grounds. I made a 7oz cup in the Kuerig last night at about 9 o clock and couldn't go to sleep untill 3 am. I don't know how long a $40 grinder will last but as of right now I say this is a good buy. If you like coffee I recommend it.

As far as I know that's a regular price. It's the first time I've seen it so I assume it's a new item.

How did you make your own cup in a Keurig? I tought they only took K cups.

Say hallo to my lil fren Keurig makes a metal filter you can use your own coffee with, but it sucks. They allow water to flow around the coffee instead of forcing it through like with the cups. Plus the clean up is a pain. Not that it's difficult but when you're making 2 or 3 cups of coffee it's a step that gets tiresome. The EZ Cup and paper filters mimic the K-cups pretty closely. The filter sits on a spring that makes sure everything is snug. The water is forced to go through the coffee so you get maximum flavor. When you're done you just pop the top and the filter and coffee goes into the trash. No fuss, no muss. Here's a coffee fag explaining the product Someone also sells a cap that allows you to reuse a K-cup. Sounds like a pain in the ass. The EZ Cup and filters are winners.

I bought a Blue Rhino portable propane grill today. Planning on using it mostly for tailgating, but since I don't like going to games anymore, it will probably sit in the garage.

The Sumatra whole bean is what we drink, but for the $13 we spend on the bag we get a helluva lot more than 16 cups.

Greggo, I too love the k-cup and just had a delicious cup a few minutes ago in 60 seconds flat. I do miss the days of grinding beans and smelling the coffee brewing but the Keurig is so much easier. That being said, why do you go through the whole coffee making process and then pull a short cut at the end? Just curious.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a Breville juicer at Macy's. This will allow me to not only make delicious fruit and/or vegetable juice drinks but to absorb nutrients from fruits and/or veggies in liquid form at like level 10 healthy amounts. With this purchase I feel I now have everything a person could ever want in the kitchen. Here's a list of just some of the other items I have: a keurig (it is a coffee maker) ((it uses "k cups")) a food saver a fondue set a variety of standard appliances a collapsible colander a freestanding paper towel holder (yes, I buy Bounty "select a size" p.t.'s and each roll is like the size of 3 rolls) a consumer reports recommended knife set please note, I have a high powered faucet that gets super hot since I took out that annoying protection thingy out of it, but it might be starting to leak and that's annoying. FYI, I also have this bad boy on layaway:

I guess I was referring to the brewing process. Wasn't sure if the slow drip of a coffer maker extracts the most flavor from the beans rather than a 60 second "rinsing" of the beans with the Keurig.

Post subject:	Re: Shit I've bought but probably don't need
Ah. A slower brewing time absolutely makes a better cup of coffee. The Keurig actually applies a little force to the water adding pressure that helps make up for some of that (though not all). We got the Keurig a couple of years ago for convenience. We can brew 2 cups in just a couple of minutes and there is no waste from making too much (also we don't drink too much) The wifey and I will sometimes have a cup in the evening also. Or sometimes only I will. Having the option of brewing one cup at a time is pretty cool. On special occasions like the holidays or a birthday party or whenever we're going to have several people over we'll buy an 18 pack of the K-cups, just so we can make em as fast as possible. I've never timed it but I would guess you could make at least 6 cups of Kuerig coffee in the time it takes to brew that much traditionally, plus you have the advantage of handing them out as they brew so people don't have to fight over sugar and cream. It sucks to be the last guy to get coffee but it's better than making EVERYONE wait. All that being said, the Keurig definitely belongs in the "Shit I've bought but probably don't need" category.

Is it ghey or a sign that I'm old that sometimes I think a cup of coffee after dinner or at night would be kind of nice. Decaf of course. I've never done it and I would hate for the little treat keep me up until 1 or 2 but all this talk of coffee is making me consider it.

It's not ghey. And it may be old, but there are times at night, when I think it would be nice to have. Especially in the winter. The effects of caffeine can't touch me any more.

No whey it's ghey. Coffee in the evening is boss. Think of it like desert. Instead of cake or cookies, just drink a coffee. Flavor it up with french vanilla or hazelnut for that extra desert-y taste. When it gets cold I like to throw a splash of Bailey's in it. Damn good stuff mang.

Nah, it's not like that. I brew my coffee because I think it tastes much better and fuller. But the K cups have regular "flavor" too.
