People in the office who don't take used K-Cups out of the machine are the new equivalent "you kill it, you fill it"

  Their way is optimal. If you remove the old k cup while putting in the next k cup, you open and close the machine half as many times. This reduces wear and tear while forcibly obligating each user to remove exactly one k cup per use.

    Take your cup out and leave the lid open so it has a chance to properly dry and doesn’t accidentally a mildew situation

    I’m so glad I don’t drink coffee…

    Mjam, leave it in there for the weekend to ripen!

    I remember a seldom used office coffee machine that everyone complained made the coffee taste “funny”, they got the message about the necessary cleaning after maggots started crawling out. 🤢🤮

    I have the same policy with public toilets. If you flush at the start to verify that it’s working and flush at the end then it’s double the flushes. That’s why I only flush at the start. All my coworkers complain, but they’re not concerned with the environment like me! So wasteful!

    Also, the k cup is slightly hot immediately after use.

    It won’t burn you but it can be unpleasant.

  Why are offices using k cups? Sounds both extremely wasteful and expensive.

    They took our coffee maker away and put one of those Keurig and everyone in my team complained and got real snarky with leadership until we got our old coffee maker back.

    So wasteful.

    As someone who used to take care of office supplies (I was in accounting, btw) because everyone in the office is lazy and doesn’t wanna deal with complex things like grounds and filters.

      Interesting. As a consultant I’ve worked in several different offices, but here in Norway I’ve never seen anything but either filter coffe or automated bean to cup machines. The staff in all those places have also been pretty good at maintaining the machines.

  I still don’t understand why people love K cups so much. They make the coffee taste like plastic. I can’t stand them.

  Is it the used item after a single-use, or the entire bin after several uses?

  For the single-use, it actually kind of makes sense not to take it out. There are 2 possibilities when you go to the machine: it either has a used capsule, or it’s empty. If you’re the type of person that wants to throw away the used capsule each time you make a coffee, then you potentially need to throw away 2 capsules each time you make a coffee. Someone else’s when you get there, and your own after making coffee. If you never throw away your own capsule, then you guarantee that you will only ever have to throw away max one capsule when you get to the machine, and so does everyone else after you (assuming they do the same).

  And if you murder everyone who leaves the capsule in, eventually the problem completely solves itself!

  As for the bin, that’s a diff story, and I guess someone just needs to bite the bullet and empty it.

  I’m sure there are a fair amount of people that are just inconsiderate. I’d suggest there could be an equally large number of people that simply forgot because they so desperately needed the magical elixir that was just expressed from said machine.

    They use k cups so being inconsiderate is a given.

      Honestly in an office situation there is no excuse not to have a super automatic espresso machine. They cost like 1500 dollars and you don’t need to buy the damn kcups.

      Well, that one I would also put on the employer for not providing a more environmentally friendly/anti-consumption option. But, agree with the sentiment

  What is a K cup?

    What Keurig calls their disposable 1 time use coffee containers. I also hate them just in principal

      I’m not sure that’s a thing in Europe, at least I never heard about that company. I only know these Nestlé trash

    Yeah, my first thought was that we’re talking about a K-size bra cup…

  I’m siding with team leave it in.

  Take one out, put yours in.

  Everybody removes one pod. Fair and balanced as all things should be.

  Because common sense and common courtesy is in short supply these days.
