It's The Coffee Stupid!

Your selection of coffee is most important as it is the last thing that one tastes at the end of their meal.  After you have indulged and tasted everything during the course of your meal; it will be the flavour and taste left by the coffee you are drinking that will seal the deal.  liQuid heaVen ~ 'so satisfying'

World Wide Coffee Consumptiom

United States alone has over 130 million coffee drinkers.
Where as twelve billion pounds of coffee is consumed around the globe annually.

Energy drinks ~vs~ Coffee!

Energy Drinks!  A bevy of them are out there.  It's a new industry for God's sake and it is raking in lots of  money.  Why?  There is about 135 milligrams of Caffeine in a cup of coffee enough to increase metaboloism during more than two (2) hours!
                             Coffee ~vs~ Energy Drinks...it's a no brainer! 

K-cups, they just keep getting better...

People may be getting it, finally. Mark my words, not long from now we will hear about health issues, lawsuits, etc regarding k-cups.

Thought I'd once again share some recent comments on safety of plastic used in k-cups below from coffeedetective.com.

El Pablo steers clear of plastics & liquids
by: Anonymous

El Pablo (pihlenfe) will steer clear of any products that contain plastics & liquids combination! The USA-FDA does not really help here either since they are more for corporations & the 1% and less for the 99% of everyday regular folks. No Keurig or K-cups or whatever they call it for El Pablo!

Does it leach styrene?
by: Anonymous

Why is everyone only talking about BPA? Wouldn't the risk be styrene? If the water reservoir is recycle code #6, it's polystyrene. Styrene is a suspected carcinogen, and a suspected toxin to the gastrointestinal, kidney, and respiratory systems, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. Shouldn't water that comes out of a Keurig be tested for styrene?

WHAT?!
by: Anonymous
Of COURSE they're going to tell you it doesn't contain BPA. Because they want to sell them to you. ANYthing with plastic emits stuff because it's PLASTIC. Buy a melitta ( sp? ) ceramic cone filter and be done with it. Your life is much more valuable than that cup o' joe. Really, I care more about you than Keurig does. Buy the ceramic filter. Your coffee tastes WAYYY better and it is wayyy cheaper. Please don't be fooled by these posts that tell you the product is safe. Err on the side of caution and throw out, or take back the Keurig.

Is the plastic used in Keurig K-Cups safe?

#7, but no BPA?   by: Anonymous

The Keurig comment that the cups contain NO BPA, yet are plastic #7 is very confusing. I know that #7 is a mix of different types of plastic, so basically they're declaring that no BPA plastics are used in the composition of their plastic #7. Are we to trust them, or trust the manufacturer who tells them they don't use BPAs? Hmmm. There are lots of other coffee makers out there, and most are more environmentally-friendly to boot. Why take a chance?

Recycle #6 on bottom of water reservoir   by: Anonymous

 I bought a B60 from Target just because it said it was BPA free on outside of box. It is actually my 2nd one after the first one conked out in less than a year. I use filter water for everything in the house and noticed a weird metallic plastic chemical taste with the coffee to the point of being undrinkable. I went to amazon.com and qvc to see if other reviewers say same. There was and some recommended cleaning the reservoir with vinegar or baking soda. I pulled mine out and see a #6 on bottom which is known to leach harmful toxins and to top it off the World Health Org suspects #6 as a carcinogen. Thanks Keurig for making me think I am buying something healthy. With all the links to cancer and endocrine dysfunction with some plastics I am not very happy right now.
