guess dorian will have to buy a stove top coffee maker he custom ordered from a metal fab place... but it might be foreign metal!

Bunn-O)))). well, at least they are an american company. shits probably made in china.
yeah, i doubt ill be able to find a US-made coffee maker. we're not really known for our coffee expertise.

Well, a pack of 25 K-cups cost $13.95, which equates to 56 cents apiece for a gourmet cup of coffee, not the cheapie stuff. Really not too bad, and once you taste the quality, you'll be hooked and there's so many types to choose from. They also have varieties of teas and hot chocolate.

I understand just wanting to pay a little to get a nice cup of regular coffee though, so that makes perfect sense. Like in Pulp Fiction though, "when I drink coffee, I wanna taste it."

so if we drank two cups a day total, how much would that cost me per month? currently, it takes me a month to get through a pack of krogers $5 a bag coffee.

Yes, they're called K-cups. Again, each one breaks down to 56 cents a cup if you buy packs of 25 cups at a time.

considering that i had to drive to exxon this morning to get two cups of shit coffee for $1.25 each, $.56 is a good deal. it blows my mind that people go to starbucks and get $3 a cup coffee. i dont know how they do it.

I agree with you there. My favourite coffee is from a beaten steel coffee pot (WW2 military issue) that we just shove in the fire. We call it "Burnier's morning brew" cause thats the guy whose pot it is. The shit is like gravy, but while camping.. fuck it sgood

I wholeheartedly agree with you and I hate the whole fucking "yuppee" culture of StarSucks. I'll take a cup of gourmet tasting coffee for .56 a cup any day of the week.

espresso > other coffee tbh. got my parents an espresso machine for xmas, we use it almost every day. it's not a top of the line one (which can run up over $2-3000), but for about $250 we got:

I don't like espresso, but that does sound cool.

Conspicuously Absent · January 18th, 2006, 01:28 PM

$3 for cofee at starbucks? it costs me $2.00 canadian. which is like $1.50 US. And thats for the big fucker, so its like two regular coffees.

dorian gray · January 18th, 2006, 01:28 PM
