MASSIVE CHRISTMAS SCREWUP > General Discussion

Posted: 12/25/2016 10:08:25 AM EDT

Man, I am a loser. I have guests and just realized I only have 4 cups of Kuerig coffee left for today and the stores are closed. How big a mixup is that.

Oh, and Merry Christmas ARFcom brothers and sisters.

I was also almost out of coffee (and ingredients for Eggs Benedict and champagne) - but I remembered and picked some up yesterday.

Run out to a convenience store and buy a couple large black coffees.

Drink whiskey

Drink three of them yourself which equals one real large coffee and let your guests fight over the last one.

Trying to make coffee for a lot of people with a Kuerig is like trying to fill a five gallon bucket with a spoon. It's gonna take awhile.

When the firs person asks about coffee.

Just look at them and say. " I thought you were going to bringing coffee".

Then finish drinking the last of your coffee.

Where do we start.....
Kuerig for coffee? Good in a pinch, not so much for every day.
Only enough for 4 cups knowing you will have to supply coffee for many people?
Lay out the blunt instruments and be sure to post video of the ensuing hilarity.

Nothing like a GD smackdown.

I was hoping to open ARFCOM this morning and see the guy who made his first post yesterday in a tech forum bitching about PSA customer service on a blemish lower he bought. Told him he would get more "traction" in GD. Now that would have been a smackdown.

Merry Christmas ??

If the guests are rich and cute, send them over, I have a Bunn for fast coffee and a regular timer coffee maker for normal use with two new ones in storage if one of the working ones die.

Sheetz is open 24/7 365 days a year. Go buy some.

That's why you keep a real coffeepot around with a can of coffee. Mine's dusty as hell, but it'll be making a strong appearance today...

That being said I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee from the Keurig. Gotta love costco and the box of k-cups you need a freakin dolly to get out the door!

Not around here. Hell, I barely got my youngests 30-30 bought as they were taking all of the guns out of the case to lock up in the vault because of the store being closed. Dollar General will be open though.

What kind of freaking idiot doesn't own a real coffeepot and a stash of industrial coffee - at least as a back-up, anyway?

It's too bad you're not celebrating Hanukkah, your 4 cups would last for 8 days.

OP, it is obviously time for Coffee Death Match! Place the four K-cups in the center of the room issue each guest a butter knife and let them have at it! The four survivors can have the coffe and your problems are solved.

Preparedness, you no haz.

When the shelves are being stripped bare, I may let myself run out of eggs, I may let myself run out of milk, I may let myself run out of bread. But I will NOT allow myself to run out of coffee!!!
