I honestly don't know anyone with a Keurig. I've been buying beans
and grinding them daily forever. People who drink my coffee volunteer
that it is really good. Friends/neighbors either have a percolator or
buy their coffee at one of those coffee drive-throughs. Or, the
closest neighbor likes the really pale brewed coffee. That's why I am
asking here.
Maybe I'll try putting my Melitta down in the sink on a hot pad and
pouring the hot water from that arm level.
Thanks for the info on Technivorm.
