What does coffee has to do with life?

Even single cup coffee maker has a secret!

This is life -there is always a dark side. Can you imagine something that is not even animated with no life having a secret? You probably cannot identify with it. But, a piece of machine would not have the capability to hide anything, it is the PEOPLE using it.

Single cup coffee maker for your information is one of the greatest machine ever build for brewing coffee. You almost cannot find any fault with it, I used the word almost. There is one nagging issue that disturb its user -it is a closed system.

This meant that people using this machine can only use the coffee that is allowed by the manufacturers. For some coffee drinkers, this meant that they cannot go shopping for new variety of coffee and this is the reason they stayed away from these brewers.

However, like all things in life, if you rules, you have people that would break it. And from the time this single serve coffee maker was being marketed, there is an underground movemnet that offers tips and recommendations on "hacking" this coffee maker.

Of course, this underground movement is doing it in good faith, to allow consumers to use any type of coffee they like. Anyway, with competition, this underground movement has since been "legalised" and there are now many commercial products like perfect pod maker and coffee ducks allowing people to use any type of coffee on their single cup coffee maker.

Isn't it strange that in the first place, manufacturers want to have a closed system. The only thing that I can think of is more profit and I guess greed is the reason they lost some business and now it is also greed that forces them to "open up".

If you have a single serve coffee maker, hope exposing this secret bring some more better coffee experience into your life...
