I don't know - not much of authority on coffee pods, but your new machine sounds really wonderful, and will save you a few bucks a day, gas, time, etc...

Greta that's why I chose that date. I didn't think I'd have to say it in the post but figured possibly you'd catch it.

We all need to support our Starbucks though. It is a local company and employs lots and lots of people. They also provide health care to every employee. Choke down the coffee guys and support our economy. They have had tough times.

I love Starbucks. I miss the company and am sad for their struggles.

Blah...Starbucks. I thought investing in starbucks was a PC way to invest in addiction and not feel guilty about it. Instead, I found out it is great way to lose a lot of money.

funny i read this about 4 months ago. you made me think of it again
If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock one year
Ago, you would have $49 left. With AIG, you would have less
than $15 left. With Fannie Mae, you would have
$2.50 left. But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer
one year ago, drunk all of the beer, then turned in the cans for
the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $195 cash.
Based on the above,

LOL..nice point.
Before I bought my AMG I really struggled with the decision of whether I should pay a fair amount of cash for a 997 Turbo. I was soooooo close to buying one. I thought, "hmmm...I'm 35, I should preserve cash and invest it," therefore I passed on the Turbo. Who knew that I would have probably saved money by "investing" in a 911 depreciating asset and selling it for a loss than putting the cash in the market.

You should have checked with me. I sold out at $25 took my money and ran! I sold out well before I left the company. It is a great buy right now - the company will survive and the stock will go back up (more former insider tips). At least you didn't invest in WAMU - could be worse, it's worth 33cents per share. One could cash out and buy a cup of Starbucks coffee LOL
