Ever Wonder Why Keurigs Are So Expensive?

[Steelgrave]

I was a Starbucks manager at one time (as well as being a Coffee Master....because they get the cool black aprons!) and I can confirm that good coffee beans have a slightly oily sheen on them. Starbucks generally teaches that beans should be stored in an airtight container, rather than frozen, in order to maintain the highest quality. I do grind my own beans (even for my Keurig) and that's how I store mine.

As for Keurig, I really think the machines have about a one year lifespan for heavy coffee drinkers. You can offset that by being diligent with running vinegar through the machine once a month. Mine died two weeks before the warranty expired and sure enough, Keurig sent me a brand new one.

LB, you opening yours up was pretty cool! I had to ship my dead unit back in exchange for the new one, so I didn't get to dissect mine  8)
