Yep. Still have my black one with AmberElec installed. I love everything about it other than the display's somewhat muted colors and mediocre battery life.
Lol. I read this in an entirely different context, like you were implying that they'd go to hell for this.
This is exactly what I was going to say. The feed on Threads is absolutely abysmal. Just an endless stream of bullshit that I don't want to see. That might improve in the future as they continue to update the app and its feed algorithms, but as of right now it's pretty terrible at showing the user content that they're interested in.
In my opinion the cheapest, simplest way to experience a significant jump in quality from what you're currently doing is to buy an Aeropress.
You can get one new for only $30-40, and after trying a few times you'll likely be blown away by how much better the coffee it produces is than what you've grown accustomed to with the Keurig.
An electric kettle is another good purchase to go along with your Aeropress, and it generally comes in handy for plenty of other uses too.
If you start getting into making better coffee at home with the Aeropress, then the next step on your journey would be to invest in a grinder and make the switch to whole beans. That's really the last thing you'll need if you're trying to max out coffee quality at home.
As for drinking it black, that's totally up to you. Personally I like a little cream and sugar in my coffee, and I'm probably seen as a coffee snob by my friends. Don't let anyone tell you that black is the preferred way to drink coffee. It's all preference, and I like the heavier body that cream/milk gives the brew.
If you end up taking any of this advice, then here's my go-to recipe for the best Aeropress coffee:
I hope that helps. Just be warned... Once you go down this path, you'll likely no longer be able to tolerate K-Cup coffee.
That's really cool that someone thought to preserve this and put it on display in a museum. It's like a modern historical artifact from the golden age of computing.
Don't forget the neon lights, the cacophony of booming arcade cabinet speakers echoing throughout the room, and body odor and cigarette smoke swirling together and filling the air with their combined, intoxicating scent.
If you're too young to have experienced arcades in the 80's/90's and think I'm describing heaven on Earth, it's because I am. That's exactly what it was.
