Coffee People K Cups: Tasty, Rich And Bold

To cut to the chase, this produces a very good MEDIUM roast style cup of coffee…period. Some folks tend to compare all coffees to one another no matter what the bean is and how it’s roasted. I do roast my own green beans (home roaster) when I brew a pot of coffee every morning and use the K-Cups when only a single cup is needed. If you don’t like that ‘in your face’ dark roast, dense, heavy style of coffee in the morning (or any time for that matter) this is definitely the coffee for you. It’s not bitter, a bit floral, with a true pure coffee taste. Does it match Dunkin Donuts style coffee in taste? I’d say YES to that when using the middle cup size setting on the Coffee People K Cups Keurig brewer….which I use for folks that take milk in their cup, I use the larger cup setting because I drink my coffee black and like that taste profile.

The rubber end coatings interface well and won’t harm bikes’ finishes. Both my treks have different frame configurations, the bar adjusted easily.

Schwinn Air Driver 1000 Floor Pump

Since this is just a floor air pump, I guess there is not much to say except that it works well. I use it to pump air into my bike tires, which have been getting flat a lot lately. It works perfectly fine. Nothing bad to say about it. It doesn’t tell you how much air is in what ever you are pumping in, so it may not be perfect for basketballs and such. But I suspect most people can just get the feel of their tires or balls and pump accordingly. For me, it’s simple and good enough for my Schwinn Air Driver 1000 Floor Pump needs. This Schwinn Air Driver 1000 arrived unusable, so I can’t comment on it’s performance. I can say that the hose end fitting is made of plastic. It was received broken, snapped off at the pump base.
