As I sit here having my morning cup of java from my Keurig, I speculate as to how amazing it has been that the subject of a coffee bean has gone on so long.

My wife would love a Keuirig on the camper. I am just not looking to buy another expensive item dedicated just for camping. If we camped more maybe. But for the few times we go, it is fine to just use an AD maker.

There is a non-electric product out there (depending upon how you heat your water) called a MyJoe that I found and basically it is a keurig without the machine. You heat water in the container, place it on top of your mug. Put a k-cup inside and then put the top on and push it down. A sort of french press without the gounds. Works great and lets you have your variety like at home. I think it was about $15.

Be aware that although you have the drain valve always open, you don't really have a "Flow Through System" You have a flow into the grey water tank and a flow out the other side of the grey water tank. In between the in and out there is a slow down of flow and a settling of solids. Eventually you could end up with issues. It is best to have the valves shut and when the tanks are close to full open until empty then close and repeat.

I couldn't stand the thought of TP or Kleenex as I didn't know how to dispose of it......properly.
Then that guy in Boise showed us that the enviros lite it on fire....
SWEET, I like fire.
Then he burned down the forest....oops.

Happy Camping to all.

Our kids got us a Starbucks Verissimo machine for the trailer. No muss, no fuss, buck a cup and the pods go out with the rest of the garbage.

I'm glad I never turned into a coffee snob (or beer snob). Just give me a plain ol drip coffee maker. No fancy machines with funny names. If no electric, I can do a percolator. With either one, I can toss my grounds in the woods.

X2 Amen howie70, can't stand Starbucks, Seattle's Best, Keurig, or fancy flavored. Just plain old black coffee, hot, cold or in between. Like an old beer commercial, "wet & wonderful"

Oh no, microwaves are fine... As long as you have your tin foil hat on to block the rays.

I'm going to start throwing mine out the front door at home and while camping. My trash guy is complaining about all the coffee grounds in the trash can. LOL if the fire ants eat them then by the evening there won't be any grounds left any way. Hope it kills them cause I'm going to feed them everyday. Thanks for the tip. And the money saving tip on poision I won't have to dump in the yard anymore. I'll let you know how it works I have 25 acres of fire ants. Anyone know how to get rid of gophers?

Geesy Pete! Some of you hit the mark! Dump the dinged danged grounds onto the ground, or into bushes, etc. and let them mulch in! Lot's of gardeners (smart ones
at least...) do this, like Cubby! Putting them into your black water tank, or any tank, for that matter will do EXACTLY as Bubbles mentioned to your guillotine blade! I know...
I ruined mine in an Airstream and that was one hell of a job changing that out even
though I saved a bunch on labor, but not my sanity! How do I know? The blade slot was packed full with that stuff rendering the closing\sealing action absolutely nill.
Unfortunately I could get my gloved hand to the slot from the outside due to the
impossible angle. So, Viva la France doesn't work in this case...

This made me laugh out loud, b/c we bought a little Nespresso Inissia machine for our camper! Sometimes I suppose we do just throw money at stuff and if I thought too deeply about it I probably would feel guilty
