No shit, it's a stupid idea.
Fortunately, the DRM that Keurig used is trivially easy to circumvent.
Or ... you could just buy your coffee from someone else.

Yes, and then circumvent the DRM so that you can use that non-Keurig coffee in your Keurig 2.0 coffee maker.

I'm pretty sure a yuppie is the only kind of person that complains about the coffee a Keurig produces. You've been the coffee yuppie all along.

You made the thread. You're the paragon of yuppie excellence.

Spoke with Yaakov today on the phone. He bought a brewer and felt he couldn't use it until it had been blessed by a rabbi. Yaakov then took his brewer to a rabbi and had it submerged. He is now demanding a refund on the machine.

Did that really happen? Because I have had a similar encounter many years ago with some silverware.

Back when I was in high school I had a job helping out at a cleaning business. They cleaned fancy restaurants and rich people's home. Anyway, one of the migrant workers at this Jewish lady's house washed some silverware that apparently wasn't supposed to be washed. To make it copacetic again, she had to bury the silverware underground for something like a year.

As he should. It's anti-semitism not to design all machines to be waterproof. He should sue for discrimination, regardless of whether they give him a refund.
That's how far the horizon is, not how far you can see.

I authorize refunds and he's not getting one. He'll have to press charges, on himself. For being an idiot.

I would send him a replacement but who's to say he's not going to short it out again by submerging it in miracle water?

And Junker, what the hell. The stupidity of these people blows my mind sometimes.

Disclaimer. I am not sure if it was actually Yaakov, but it might as well have been him.

One of my first jobs was at BB&B, they pay really well and I learned how to fold a super fancy towel without using the folding table.

Anyway, I only use a french press so none of this is relevant to my life.

What a pretentious snob. You need a Keurig brewer in your life.

They're great products................

French presses are the most simple of all coffee makers. I will never change my ways.
