We stopped subscribing to HPs subscription for ink and they literally locked our printer so we couldn’t use it. We literally had to add our updated credit card to use it again. We had plenty of ink and that was never the issue. But the expired credit card was. That should be illegal.

Fun fact about printer ink. During the pandemic Canon couldn't obtain the microchips for their ink cartridges. So they had a tutorial on how to bypass their own drm so customers could still buy the ink cartridges without the microchips.

I was recommended a Philips Senseo from a German friend that is totally against those destined plastic pods. This machine uses widely available cheap ESE pods that resemble tea bags and can go into the garden compost bin after use.

The first thing I bought with my Keurig was a reusable pod. Not for the money issue, but the environmental one.

Using a Keurig machine just made me realize how much easier it is just to brew a coffee myself

The thing I hate about current ink cartridges is that after a certain time period they won't let you print either. The cartridge could still be half full but it won't let you print until you replace it.

Microchips and microprocessors...it is absolutely incredible how we have managed to overcomplicate the simple act of pouring hot water over some ground, roasted beans.

When I moved into my apartment I said "I need a Keurig" and my boyfriend suggested a timer coffee maker instead, I felt so silly, why didnt I think of that? Better coffee, less waste, and my little coffee maker makes me 2 cups, one for breakfast and one to go! So happy with my 2nd hand coffee maker!

You should talk about disposable vapes vs the “traditional” vape, with refillable tanks and rechargeable batteries compared to the former without either of those things. Essentially throwing away lithium batteries on a weekly basis.

The biggest irony is that Epson killed on the market with their eco tank printers that take any ink that you have. I buy a liter of every color for dirt cheap and use it on the printer flawlessly

I had an original Keurig. We liked it for sure. Bought a 2.0 and it tasted like melted plastic the whole time. Also the proprietary requirement for coffee pods was a deal breaker. Sent it back for a refund and bought a $20 coffee pot at Walmart. Haven't looked back since.

Wow by raising awareness you are a nightmare to these consumer rip off companies, keep up the good work.
