During BlogHer, I had a chance to check out Starbucks' new single cup brewer, the Verismo. It's pretty darn nice. I've resisted buying a Keurig machine because I like my coffee strong. Like Vietnamese coffee strong.
You know how much of a Starbucks fan I am. And a coffee addict to boot. Even Klout says I'm influential about coffee (for what that's worth). I was the obnoxious blogger asking about brew temperatures, steaming milk, refillable cups and if the packaging was recyclable. (Yes, yes, not yet, and no.)
