Anyone here have a keurig? What's your favorite coffee/drink/thing?

omg he is so drat fluffy its nuts.

he has taken to randomly meowing for no apparent reason and it is driving me crazy however. He will get on top of my kitchen cupboards and just meow his loving head off for 30 minutes at a time.

I approach him to pet, and he retreats so I can't reach him.

Then he will come down to the ground and repeat. I go to pet him and he gets just out of range and rolls over on his back exposing tummy like he wants a rub. If i get off the couch and try to pet him he runs away. If i stay on the couch and try to reach him he is always about 1 inch away from contact.

I can get him to shut up sometimes if I go and check his food and refill his water (both are always full) then let him out into the garage where he likes to play tacticat and run around in the freezing cold doing god knows what. Jerk is back inside in about 15 minutes and meowing again.

Eventually he stops but I just want to make him happy and I don't know what he wants :(

I have a French press and a grinder and really like the coffee that comes out of them. I get the occasional latte, and Turkish coffee if I'm at a Middle Eastern restaurant, they're both awesome but not for every day

My parents have a Keurig and seem happy with it

beer is bitter, but at least it gets you drunk.

coffee is bitter.. and it doesn't do anything I can't get from a cheap caffeine pill?

I'll stick to tasty unbitter green jasmine tea and take a caffeine pill with it. Sorry ladies.

My office has a keurig. Coffee doesn't do much for me, but there are some decent hot chocolates if you like that. Grove Square is the best hot chocolate k-cup brand and it has a bunch of varieties. There's also an okay chai latte. It's all pretty good, but not good enough that I'd get one myself.

I got one of those filters that you put regular coffee in so the keurig works like a normal coffee maker because I'm boring.
Their hot chocolate ain't terrible if you're in a pinch.

I like iced coffee. I live a couple blocks from McDonalds, so I usually get their iced coffee.

Vietnamese Iced Coffee is the best though.

I can't stand bitter, so my coffee drinks have to be really sugary and creamy. Sometimes I'll mix a little bit of coffee in with hot chocolate.

I love Thai Iced Tea. It is AMAZING.

Also I have a Nespresso. I LOVE it and it makes amazing lattes without me having to figure out how to make espresso without burning myself/cleaning it a lot because I am lazy. I totally recommend it.

Ooh, I haven't heard that one before but I really liked it. Spotify doesn't have their B-sides, so I haven't really listened to any of them. Black Crow King, Lay Me Low, and pretty much everything on Kicking Against the Pricks are my favorites. This is probably my favorite video of theirs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ0ohmx4kiM.
My friends always complain when I put Nick Cave on in the car and want to listen to like Mumford & Sons or something. :(

In regards to coffee, get an Aeropress! They are cool looking and people will be like "whoa what is that" every time you use it. I used to have a french press and liked that too until my roommate broke it and didn't buy a new one.

Seconding the Aeropress. They are awesome for travel when reliable coffee is unlikely. I use one on the ship. (Or used to.)

My favorite Nick Cave song is either The Ship Song or The Curse of Millhaven, depending on my mood. Yes, I only have two moods really and those two songs about sum them up.

The B-sides collection is amazing and probably my favorite. Really diverse, with fun collaborations and covers. There's even a nightmarish version of Froggy Went A'Courtin'! I kinda got into him backwards... friend dumped the b-sides on my iPod and I only bought the actual albums later. I adore Murder Ballads from start to finish, Stagger Lee is my get-pumped-in-the-morning song.

I have an unironic case of hero worship for the man, my boyfriend is a little jealous

going back to sizes, it ends up bringing about a lot of brand loyalty which is less about OMG BRAND than the reality that certain designers cater to your needs better and you know what their sizes correspond to

I buy all my lovely work jeans at Maurices because I know how they fit so accurately I can buy them online. the only other brand of pants I MIGHT buy online is Theory.

cats have really nice faces. more than just looks, they have personalities too. fun, ferocious and sweet (and sometimes naughty :twisted:), cats do all kinds of things that can surprise you. they are also the perfect companion to a night in. who wouldn't like a cat? those are my thoughts on cats - hope i didn't offend

I think sometimes they just like to hear themselves talk. Mine likes to go into the bathroom and meow his heart out, I think he likes the echo.

My other cat doesn't meow at all, but she has the loudest purr I've ever heard and makes little pigeon noises if you pet her when she's not expecting it :3:
