We go lips on with the PicoStill’s ‘delightful’ gin

 When PicoBrew announced its PicoStill, a $249 distilling add-on to its Pico C brewing system, I was nonplussed. How could you produce good whiskey or gin in a compact system? Well you can. Since then I’ve tried PicoBrew’s beer system and was very impressed — and now, after a solid taste of the PicoStill’s gin, I’m a convert. Read More

Goodbye, beer pong. There’s a new game in town, and it involves a Keurig.

TwitterFacebook

Beer pong is so 2017. These partygoers are living in 2037.

A group of friends invented a Keurig-based party game in which they attempted to throw K-cups into the slot. It had a very high degree of difficulty — lodging one of those little cartridges exactly into the machine is super hard. But, astonishingly, one contestant nailed it.

Controversies like Fox News host Sean Hannity’s defense of accused sex predator and Alabama senatorial candidate Roy Moore and NFL player protests have once again thrust consumer companies into the middle of loud fights over charged topics like racism in America and society’s treatment of sexual assault.

Actually, destroying Keurig coffee machines is good

TwitterFacebook

Conservative internet dudes are smashing their Keurig coffee brewers to take a political stand, and reader, they might just be on to something. 

It’s definitely not the point they’re trying to make, but it’s a point all the same. Keurig machines and the coffee pods they squirt hot water through are extremely bad — for the planet, for consumers, and evidently for Sean Hannity’s Fox News program, from which the java giant pulled advertising this weekend. 

Some quick background on this mess: Hannity’s in the spotlight for playing nice with Roy Moore, a Senate candidate accused of pursuing relationships with teenagers while he was in his 30s. In response to a tweet from Angelo Carusone, the president of Media Matters for America, Keurig said it removed ads from Hannity’s show. Read more…
