I've seen those industrial Keurig machines.. with the water supply tap in the back so you never have to fill, and they have their own trash bin inside the machine so after its done making the cup of coffee, it disposes of the waste before the next kcup is inserted so you don't have to manually remove it each time. I was wow'ed. lol.

They don't take up much space on the counter either. Loved those ones, cleanings a breeze as well.

If anyone is interested, futureshop is having a sale on one of their Tassimo coffee maker for $39.99. Only in red unfortunately, which may be a deal breaker for some.

Picked that up, it's a hell of a deal to not pass over. My aunt got a Keurig as a gift, and now I can try the difference for myself.

Picked up a Nespresso machine recently and it's so much better than a Keurig or Tassimo.

We recently got a Nespresso Gran Maestria as a gift, and boy does this thing look purdy. We are trying to use up all our Tassimo capsules before using the Nespresso lol

I'm a big fan of the Ristretto, Linizio, and Dulsao. Their seasonal Santander is quite nice as well.

nespresso machines also cost 3 times as much so i'd expect a much better end product.

I finally found a coffee I really like for the Keurig machine after trying probably 20 different brands and kinds. The one I like the best is the no name brand Dark Roast from Extra Foods, it's the best one I've tried and all I'll buy going forward.

+1 for ristretto, and dulsao, the nespresso machine I use it for when you want to relax watch a show read a book, entertain some friends etc.

the tassimo and keurig i use for the quick cup morning rush lets get the f to work asap times, the f me i have to get these papers done so i might end up with a slowly getting colder cup of coffee/tea but im still gonna drink it times, or for people who come over and don;t appreciate a good cup of coffee or tea.

the 12 cup drip brewer gets used at family parties :badpokerface:

so instead of lemon kool aid or citric acid you use 1tb spoon of vinegar to 1 pint of water?

mk1freak 05-13-2014 12:27 PM

yea one month ill do the citric, then the following ill do vinegar about 30mls to pint

GLOW 05-13-2014 07:40 PM

i read lemon juice works too, which i'm trying now since i had some in my fridge. some websites said the manual said no vinegar (maybe too acidic?) but other websites said vinegar works no problem.

FerrariEnzo 05-13-2014 09:24 PM

Tassimo manual says Not to use vinegar...

Ronin 05-13-2014 09:36 PM

Keurig sent me their new Rivo espresso machine. You can see 10 days of pictures of drinks on my Instagram.

mk1freak 05-14-2014 08:04 AM

I have no issues with the vinegar, I just make sure I flush it clean really well

GLOW 05-14-2014 12:53 PM

i tried lemon juice. descaler icon is gone. man a lot of black crap came out. dried up coffee i guess. :lol

mk1freak 05-14-2014 02:00 PM
