Poll: Keurig Use

[miso]

When you use a Keurig machine, do you dispose of the K-cup right after your coffee is done?

[Deleted]

I throw it away as soon as the Keurig is done. Although, sometimes either H or I forget and discover an old cup in there a day later.

[stephogirl]

In an office setting, I throw it away immediately.

Special Snowflake: I use a reusable k-cup at home, but I leave it in the Keurig because it's too hot to pull out right away. Just DH and I there, though.

[mrs.jacinthe]

Yes. It makes me crazy when I'm in the office and someone left their used kcup in the machine. Pack it in, pack it out, so to speak.

[birdistheword]

I always forget to remove the K-cup when my coffee is done.

If I was using one at work I would be more conscientious about it.

[calle28]

At home, no. At work, yes.

[TR]

At work, yes. Even when I used the reusable filter I always emptied it right away.

At home I usually pull it out, but sometimes forget. BF almost always forgets at home. Just saying.

[jane6672]

Remove immediately.

You're just asking for mold otherwise. Barf.

This is me, too.

I'm the only coffee drinker at home, so it's my problem now, or my problem later.

At work (in the home office), we have keurig's in every break room and conference room (we make single-serve drink cups), and etiquette is to dispose of your k-cup when your drink is done brewing. 

[blondemoment123]

Yes.

[clairedunphy]

I'm the only one who drinks coffee in my house, so no, not immediately. But eventually it will be me who removes it.

[miso]

I throw it away right after.

But I have yet to make coffee here without having to dispose of somebody else's used cup left in the machine.

So I just wanted to know what the norm is.

You work with savages.

[miso]

I honestly believe I am the ONLY one who disposes immediately.

There are fewer than 20 people in this office.

The machine hasn't been empty even once.

[zoomzoom]

Snowflake. My CW's use it (not me) and they will typically reuse a K cup twice and then immediately discard.

[gummybear]

We do not have a Keurig but whenever I am faced with one, I always take it out. I've been mocked actually, "Just leave it there!" and assured it was etiquette that the next person dispose of it, but that seems barbaric to me.

[newnamesameperson]

Dispose immediately. Like I get some sense of satisfaction throwing it away.

I don't understand the logic of this.

"No need to flush the toilet! The next person will flush it before she uses it!"

Well, not exactly a perfect analogy, but you know. LOL.

Wait, so someone gets watered down used Keurig coffee? How is this possible? Keurig coffee is weak as is, and that is being generous.

If it's yellow, let it mellow 

[miso]

I mean, do whatever you want at home.

But I am Team Throw Away Your Damn K-Cup at work.

[zoomzoom]

gummybear, yes. It's two ladies and they actually reuse it once, not twice. But yeah, each cup is brewed twice before tossing. I have no idea about such things since I don't drink coffee!

[cookie510]

Our keurig at work automatically takes the used k-cup out of the tray when the next person opens it. If not, I'm sure I would be throwing away people's k-cups.

Well, if you'd have to if somebody left his cup in there, and you didn't have this automatic feature.

[kris356]

I don't use it, but at work no one takes their used cup out. It is so annoying. But they also leave dirty mugs and silverware in the sink so I don't know why I expect they would remove their k-cup.

[textbookcase]

You work with a bunch of assholes.

This poll is evenly split, though!

So now I don't know if it is asshole behavior if half the population leaves their K-cups in the machine.

[wambam]

If you leave it in there, you're an animal!

I'm kidding. But seriously, throw your trash away!

[mokes]

Same as some pps ... when I worked in an office, I threw it right away right after it brewed. At home, I throw it away upon making the next cup. I have lower standards for myself I guess. lol.

I'm sorry that you're friendly with barbarians with no manners.
