I WAS ABOUT TO THROW MY KEURIG IN THE TRASH – THEN THIS HAPPENED!



June 16, 2021 5 min read


ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Joan is a guest writer here on Angelino's and she helps us find compelling
stories to share along with running CoffeeMagazine.com. Her life-long passion
for storytelling and love of coffee makes for an amazing combination and she is
our favorite writer here at Angelino's




 

Don’t even talk to me until I’ve had my coffee! 

When I first heard about the Keurig coffee maker, I was thrilled. As a working
mom, every morning is a paradox: I need coffee to function, but I don’t have
time to make it. The idea of a machine that could make piping-hot coffee at the
push of a button seemed like an answered prayer. 

At first, the machine seemed to deliver as promised. They work just as quickly
as everyone says, producing any coffee you want within seconds of pushing the
button. But over time, I began to get disillusioned with the coffee it made.


A LUKEWARM RECEPTION

Like most of you, I have some very interesting conversations in the mornings -
mostly before I have my morning coffee! On a morning not too long ago, the
conversation started just like this:

> “Why does this cup taste so bland?!” I asked my husband one morning. Actually,
> I was probably snapping at him at the time, but in fairness, I hadn’t had any
> coffee yet."

A few days later, while I was trying to explain to our daughter that she
couldn’t wear her Halloween costume to school because it was April, I took a sip
of coffee and almost spit it into the sink right then and there. 

It tasted stale. I checked the box and, although the coffee wasn’t expired as
far as I could tell, it tasted like it had been sitting in a closet for years.
Later, I found out that it wasn’t far from the truth: the K-Cups you buy at the
store often sit on shelves for a long time before they make it to your house,
going from warehouse to stockroom to shelf over a span of months. During that
time, the oils that give coffee its delicious flavor evaporate, leaving you with
a cup of what kinda tastes like wet socks. I tried switching brands, but every
box I got at the store had the same problem. 

No matter what I did, the coffee came out weak, bland, and kind of gross, and I
began to think that the only solution was to go back to a drip coffee maker or a
French press, neither of which I had time for on a busy weekday morning.


A BITTER REALIZATION

The straw that broke the camel’s back, though, was when I was paying bills one
day and realized, to my horror, just how much I was spending on K-Cups every
month. They’d gotten more expensive so gradually I hadn’t noticed, and it had
turned from a necessary morning boost into a luxury I couldn’t afford. 

 That was it. I unplugged the Keurig and put it in the closet, with a half-baked
idea that I might put it on Craigslist sometime to sell. A week later, I was
battling serious caffeine withdrawal. I don’t know if any of you have ever tried
to give up coffee before, but I don’t recommend it. 

My head was killing me, and I felt like I was always tired. But more than that,
I missed my morning ritual of a hot cup of coffee.


COFFEE WITH FRIENDS

At my Tuesday spin class, my friend Stacy noticed and asked me if I was coming
down with something. I explained to her that I wasn’t sick, but that I’d had to
stop drinking coffee because it had gotten too expensive.

> “Have you tried Angelino’s?” My friend asked me and I told her "My store
> doesn't have that brand, just the regular stuff I've always been drinking"

My friend let out the biggest laugh and looked at me with surprise...

> “They’re an online brand,” she said, leaning in. “They’re all I drink now. And
> they’re not expensive – they are as low as $0.39 per cup!”

$5.95 for fourteen cups?! That would only buy one cup at the coffee shop.

> “That sounds good,” I admitted, “But how does it taste? The K-Cups I’ve been
> buying at the store just don’t taste very good.”  I told her and she said
> “That’s what makes Angelino’s special,” she said, “They have their own
> roastery, and the coffee ships straight to you from them. That means it always
> tastes fresh! Because, well… it is fresh!”

The other thought that popped into my mind was that I need a strong coffee. Not
some watery, weak brew which I get when I make instant coffee brought from the
local store.

> "I can't stand weak coffee, what's Angelino’s like?" I asked her. She said
> "That's because other producers skimp on the coffee in each pod and then over
> roast it to make up for the lack of coffee!"

I had noticed the other K-Cups I had been using felt a bit lighter than
expected.

> "Yuck!" I said. "Angelino's doesn't do that, though. You get exactly what it
> says on the package, and it tastes great. No tricks." Stacy replied.

In my mind, this all sounded like a scam. How could any company do all of this
cheaper, better and faster than the big guys?...

> "It all sounds too good to be true" I said and Stacey responded "I'll tell you
> what, I've got some spare K-Cups in my bag because I use them at work because
> I don't like their coffee. Take these and give them a try!"


A FRESHLY-GROUND START

I may have been speeding when I returned home with my two precious K-Cups in
hand. I plugged the Keurig back in, and with a push of a button, the cup began
to fill up. 

I could tell from just the smell that this was different. As soon as it hit my
nostrils that this wasn’t over-roasted, and that I was in for a treat. The first
sip confirmed it - this was the best cup of coffee I’d had in ages.



Within minutes, I’d given the Keurig back its place of honor on our kitchen
counter, and moments later, I was online, picking out my own sample boxes so
that I could try as many different flavors as I could.

Thanks to Angelino’s, I got my morning coffee back, at a price that didn’t break
the family budget.

Accessibility StatementCompliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone
and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest
possible audience, regardless of ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web
Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA
level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people
with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us
ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor
impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as
accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that
allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user
interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the
background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application
remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for
screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by
individuals with motor impairments.

If you wish to contact the website’s owner please use the website's form

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet
Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind
users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s
functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they
immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can
browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of
the most important screen-reader requirements:

 1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s
    components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when
    updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with
    meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide
    accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons,
    search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs;
    element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. 
    
    Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It
    provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based
    description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not
    described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR
    (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader
    adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard
    combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn
    the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
    
    These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS,
    NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
    
    
 2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the
    website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the
    website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the
    website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow
    keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key,
    navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill
    them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.
    
    Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any
    time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating
    with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by
    moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing
    the focus to drift outside.
    
    Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F”
    (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of
    phrases, initials, slang, and others.
 7. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a
    printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Assistive technology and browser compatibility

We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so
our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as
possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major
systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA
(screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users.

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their
needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are
in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological
solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our
accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and
developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal
level of accessibility following technological advancements. If you wish to
contact the website’s owner, please use the website's form
