What would you do? My Keurig died last week. It lasted a measly 2 1/2 years. I bought it at Costco so they'll take it

back and give me a refund. I scored a new Keurig today on sale for $100. at another retailer.

Would you return the dead Keurig to Costco or just write off the $100.+ it cost?

I have a one-mug ceramic press that I use at home, and an insulated stainless steel 34 oz press that I take for work when I make coffee for myself and a couple others.

At home, I have what I should probably consider an embarrassingly-complex ritual that I go through to make myself HOT coffee, and it's sooooooo good. It is more work, and it does take longer than just pushing a button.

At work and traveling with the group, I just make the large press of coffee, dump the grinds and that's all. It's not that much more work.

A while back, I stayed a week at a place that only had a Keurig so I bought a box of K-cups from a local roaster whose beans I often buy when I'm in that city. It was a lot better than the starbucks and Folgers cups provided, but not even close to as good as the exact same coffee made in a french press.

Yeah it takes longer but my coffee is oh, so good (and no plastic touches my morning brew).

Damn thing just stopped working.

They took it back, no problem.

Costco is one of few companies that actually inspire customer loyalty.

Better, cheaper coffee from just about any style coffee maker. Those capsules are an abomination against nature.

but k-cups are wasteful and expensive. The coffee is OK, if it's a good coffee. I've used them in hotels.

Pour through glass, with a very fine mesh stainless steel paperless filter.

Big batches a stovetop old fashioned steel percolator.

Plastic is the DEVIL!

Just buy the entire Costco operation call it "Floyd's". Then the coffee-maker will be the least of your worries.

That would be one way to ensure you're even less popular than the current White House incumbent!
