[SMCARA] Business for tonight's meeting.

[Tom Shelton]

I love my Keurig, but I'm not using to serve a lot of people.  Just a couple of cups every morning to wake Tammy and I up.

You'll need someone to keep the reservoir filled.  You'll get 6 cups (+/-) per fill-up.

Between brewing and heating water for the next cup, it can take several minutes between cups.   So you might have a grumpy line of coffee-deprived folks waiting.

When will it be used?  For the two or three times a year that I can think of, it doesn't seem very cost effective? 

My $0.02 worth...

Tom Shelton, ND3N

Expensive?  Pretend you are at an airport or Starbucks and it will seem like a steal!

In bulk from BJs might allow a lower charge.  An even $$ amount makes it easy to pay and make change, that's  cambio for the "taco man"!

Lots of good ideas, we can make this work.

Tom

$1 for coffee is good, but 3 for a sandwich is pushing the bubble some in my opinion. And I am pretty sure you can buy these at BJ's also so might catch a break there. For coffe I use these at home and love them and the rest of what they make; Barrie House Coffee Donut Shop Blend Capsules (72 capsules) on Sale for
30.60 for 72 and 96 cups is 40.00

Not sure I can send a link but these are from Amazon if you want to do a search. Also for everyone; 01 Oct Amazon starts charging state tax on purchases. They are opening a warehouse in Baltimore so guess what. ...
