Lots of plastic production, lots of waste. I applaud them for not advertising with Hannity, but they're not doing the Earth any favours, and I still wouldn't recommend buying one.

So no plastic waste. Seems to me that it saves energy, too, as I'm the only one in my household who drinks coffee or hot tea, so good to just heat enough water for a cup at a time.

Starbucks Verismo is actually pretty good, better than Keurig. Limited coffee options, but good with what it does.

advertisers will leave those republican think tank propaganda operations in droves if our universities and pro sports teams were pushed to start looking for apolitical alternatives.

there are hundreds of publicly funded schools, including these 88 major universities, endorsing hundreds of rw radio stations.

all it would take is a few schools doing the right thing to cause all RW radio and fox advertisers to rethink those associations. for them to keep supporting those rw radio stations should be unacceptable to all americans who aren't trump and moore supporters.

Liberals would avoid wasting money on stuff that creates so much waste for landfills.

Liberals with low income would buy drip machines. Elitist snobs like me would buy whole beans for my grinder and make espresso or french press.

Early Bloom County strips had a character named Otis Oracle, who was the Moral Majority's field scout for Bloom County. In one storyline he led a book and record burning so he and his followers went to the local record store to buy some salacious material with Otis asking the clerk about Blondie - something like...
Otis: Ah, Blondie. Is she laden with moral turpitude?
Clerk: Moral...?
Otis: Turpitude. Is she laden with it?
Clerk: I don't know, man, but she is one wicked chick!
Otis: Super! We'll take 30 dozen!



Recall also that during the Iraq War when France wouldn't support us on our illegal invasion, conservatives were going to liquor stores to buy French wine for the express purpose of pouring it out onto the ground during protests.

I can understand having them in an office. One person likes dark roast, another light, still another wants decaf. But why anyone would want one at home is beyond me. Buying the pods is like spending $30 on a pound of coffee.
