Because they pulled their advertisements off of Hannity.

Russian troll twitter bots working hard today.

[procon]

1. The lack of context is exasperating. nt

[Takket]

3. drives me nuts too...........

Keurig pulled advertising from Hannity. In response the bots and deplorables are pushing #boycott keurig on twitter.

but it is backfiring as real americans are using the hashtag to mock the pathetic effort by the limited number of deplorables.

[Princess Turandot]

4. Keurig agreed to stop advertising on the Hannity show..

after his sympathetic interview/defense of Moore.

So, some posts started showing up on Twitter announcing that they would no longer purchase keurig coffee systems.

The company now seems to be getting more support than criticism in many of the tweets.

14. I can't help it if your powers of clairvoyance are somewhat less than you imagine. nt

[mythology]

17. You could help your attitude and understanding that not everybody studies the idiocy of twitter

But apparently that's asking too much of you.

[marybourg]

2. I've been boycotting them

since they were invented.

[cwydro]

6. yeah, but they are on our side.

According to this OP.

[kydo]

7. the rethugs oops racist oops russian damn so many r's anyho

those peeps are pissed at them because they pulled their ads from the insanity show on faux.

So the russian bots want you to boycott them.

[procon]

9. Keurig was nothing more than a consumer rip off since they first came on the market.

I never bought into the over rated Keurig scam. There are many alternative ways to brew a single cup of coffee that are far cheaper.

I'm still not going to buy into any Keurig products, and while I don't follow news about Hannity, kudos to any advertisers who jump off the Fox News clown car.

[gvstn]

13. They were great for original purpose

Of providing fresh hot drinks in car repair shops or hospitals etc. For home use they don't seem practical as they are both expensive and water temperature is limited.

[procon]

15. Coffee temperature is one of all time worst my pet peeves.

I hate lukewarm coffee, but that's what all the automatic drip systems can deliver. Once the coffee is brewed, there is no more heat and it cools off rapidly once it hits a cold pot or cup. My preference is a percolator, it always delivers steaming hot coffee in any quantity I need.

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. I do a boiling pour-over and use heated half n half in a

double walled thermal cup.

I hate lukewarm coffee too, and also hate having to drink it fast, hence the Thermos.

[tazkcmo]

30. And needs to be super hot

once dentures/no teeth come into play. when I served/bartended I often had older clientele request extra hot coffee for that reason. Now that I also have no teeth/dentures, I find I too need hotter coffee.

[Kleveland]

32. I use French Press, and put it in a thermos after pouring first cup.

A percolator?

Just about the worst thing you could do to coffee.

Yuch! Yuch!

I also have a drip into a thermos. Keeps it hot for a few hours.

I love seeing Keurig in a waiting room! I would not have one at home.

Coffee that sits on a burner is ruined in just a few minutes, cannot stand it.

Whatever floats your boat mate.

[tammywammy]

34. +1 on the French press

I use a manual coffee grinder and French press at home and work. At home I also use a moka pot for espresso.

I use a fake Yeti cup at work. Well I did but I lost it last week. 😥

[Kleveland]

36. AH! I also do grind my beans fresh before brewing as well.

Never tried a Moka Pot, but been curious.

From the research that I did, it is not technically "Expresso", but many seem to enjoy whatever you want to call it that results!

A good Expresso machine is not cheap!

[tammywammy]

40. Not true espresso

But I use an espresso roast in it. Bialetti moka pot plus a milk frothing wand = homemade cappuccino.

My coworkers hear me grinding the coffee that's how they can tell I'm in.

[Demsrule86]

47. I know I have a Jura which I love but it was not cheap and I bought refurbished.

It grinds and will actually make the drinks...does the milk too. but I actually prefer to make my drinks by hand so I have a milk frother as well. I like wine but coffee is my addiction! I also have an nespresso for if we travel. They have biodegradable cups and I have an extra frother...took it in my luggage when I went to Atlanta and then Carolina for two weeks. They opened my suitcase in Atlanta...and just looked at me...I guess they though it might be a bomb...the boss person was called and he obviously like coffee too...as he said 'for God sakes it is a coffee machine and a frother; Let her go". I was actually forced to use a wheelchair as I had twisted my knee a couple of weeks before and couldn't walk that far so it was quite a spectacle...was determined not to miss a family reunion with my brothers and sisters.

[Madam45for2923]

46. I love them at beauty/hair salons. Makes it feel so cozy.

At home I loooooove a turkish pot to make my black coffee!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Ha. They'll take away my Keurig when they tear it from my cold dead hands.

[CatMor]

8. I'm with you.....

I love my Keurig.

[eleny]

24. Me three

If it's not hot enough I figure that's what the 30 second button is for on our microwave.

[Kleveland]

37. OK, call me weird, I do not have a microwave at all.

Gave it up years ago.

I don't miss it at all.

[crazycatlady]

25. Same

I do use the reusable K-cup (at home) though. Saves me a lot of $$$ that way.

I'll use work supplied K-cups.

[kimbutgar]

35. I just found there are little liners you can put in your keuring cup.

Never buy the pre filled cups. I use the empty ones you buy and fill my own coffee or tea just found those little liners where I don’t have to waste water washing them out.

But I still Brew my own coffee in the coffee maker. For one cup though the keuring is ok.

[Skittles]

38. I depend on those tiny filters at work

I don't always have time to run off to clean my reusable K-cup......the filter makes it much easier

[crazycatlady]

42. I've seen those

I have about 3 of the reusable cups.

I use them until the bag of coffee is gone. Then I throw them in the dishwasher. I dump the grounds in the garden.

[Not Ruth]

31. Nespresso is to Keurig as Dom is to PBR

[Fla Dem]

10. NO, DON'T boycott Keurig!

Link to tweet

[Roland99]

11. Uhhh. ????

[FarCenter]

18. Overpriced, underwhelming, and used patents to keep other companies from supplying cups.

[Squinch]

19. Well... I don't know what YOU'RE talking about, but at least use the reusable pods and

don't throw out plastic every day that will still be around in 5000 years.

[SeattleVet]

21. We use the fully compostable pods we get from Costco.

It's San Francisco Bay coffee company French Roast (also available on the coffee company's web site). The pods are able to go into our yard waste container and be composted by the local commercial-scale facility. The compost is then sold to local gardeners.

Costs right around $.30 per cup, but Costco had them on sale last week...box of 100 for about $25, and I really like the coffee.

We also have a set of reusable pods that we use for some specialty coffees we have. (We're trying to avoid as much single-use plastic as possible, since a huge amount of it winds up in our increasingly-fragile ocean ecosystem.)

[SonofDonald]

20. Don't get between a man/woman and their coffee

I grind my own but all coffee is good coffee.

[Kleveland]

39. Point taken...

But I will have to subjectively disagree.

It is still a free country, and certainly one can like what they like as far as coffee.

[SonofDonald]

41. No problem, that's why I grind my own n/t

[brooklynite]

22. Can I boycott them because the make lousy coffee and contribute to trash?

[Hekate]

29. Probably the best reasons -- tho the coffee is actually pretty good...

I hesitated for years because of the trash issues, then succumbed a year ago when Costco had a pre-Christmas sale on the prior model. It finally quit recently after a while series of brownouts and outages that I suspect fratzed its electronic components. Costco, bless them, took it back and I bought the upgrade.

I still keep the actual electric coffee pot in my cupboard, as well as a carafe system you can pour boiling water thru. That old carafe worked quite well during a power outage related to a major earthquake 100 miles away, because our gas lines were in no way affected. Sadly, the house we just bought a few months ago has a dandy gas stove with an electronic ignition -- so no boiling water when the electricity goes out.

I think you can tell I have given my caffeine supply considerable thought over the years.

[blaze]

43. Can't you light your burner with a match?

That's what I do during power outages. Maybe yours has a safety built in that won't allow the gas to flow if the power is out?

[Hekate]

45. Actually, I tried that. It didn't seem to work, and I didn't want to play with gas, so I quit. nt

[Blue_true]

23. Please be more complete when you post stuff like this.

Kuerig took a stand about advertising on Hannity's show. You make it seems their product should be boycotted. Please add more to your OP or delete it.

[Hekate]

26. Please provide context and a link. This is suboptimal, even counterproductive.

Also, I'm not boycotting Keurig.

[milestogo]

27. They are an ecological disaster.

But so is eating meat.

[FarPoint]

28. Yes...Trolls support Hannity.

I saw a post for this on our local WHIO Channel 7 new Facebook Wall...they love Hannity....

I posted that I support Keurig

[brewens]

33. That's great but I would never have one of those. I like my grinder and drip coffee maker just fine.

We should pour it on to right-wingers that we're all in favor of the boycott because Keurig is bad for the environment. Their heads will explode!

[doodsaq]

44. Keurig sucks...

Preground coffee, yuck. Try to find a roast date on those, haha.

Get beans from a local roaster, grind and brew. Simple.
