you’ve ever wanted to make something other than coffee from your Keurig, well, you’re in luck. Campbell Soup and Keurig have partnered to sell soup to consumers looking for something savory from their do-it-yourself machine.

“We know more than 80 percent of people who buy Keurig pods also buy Campbell’s soup, so bringing together two products people love in one handy kit is a winning idea,” said Michael Goodman
Yep, a lot of retailers will be carrying these soon. Now Ramen needs to do one, and college students will rejoice.

I just stated to drink coffee.
The new office I am working at does not afford me easy access to my Mt. Dew, so I decided to start drinking coffee. Well, creamer with a hint of coffee is more like it right now.

Can't a person open a can of soup, put it in a bowl, and nuke it for 2 minutes get the same thing in just about the same amount of time? I guess this would put an end to the trouble of finding a can opener...

Been a few years - i still grind my own and seem to prefer it. Have not really developed a discerning sense of taste- I just pick whatever whole bean seems priced right -sometimes I like one better than another , but does not make an impression where I remember what I liked.

Also, I typically dump the bag of beans into a container with a lid, so brand/ style identity is long gone from my head. It is the same when I am out for coffee-all those carafes - since, unlike a beer- brand identity isnt big and style isnt either. Since I am not going thru overt process with selecting a brand/style and pouring it or watching it get poured from a labeled tap-it doesn't stick so well.


I guess i should be happy that I can still drink cheap coffee.

Sidenote- at C stores and lobby style coffee- that hazlenut stuff can smell good but always tastes like dung

I ended up buying the Bonavita from the other thread where I inquired about coffee makers. The quality of the brew is excellent. Most of the bad reviews were about the carafe. I do have a few complaints about the carafe but the brew is superior to previous coffee makers I've owned. I was also talked into ordering a coffee grinder but it hasn't arrived yet.
