Guest Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Would you, as an LDS person, get your non-LDS family member a Keurig for Christmas if it's the only thing on their Christmas list?Let's just assume for the sake of discussion that everybody can afford to buy their family a Keurig. Also, for those who may not know, Keurig doesn't just serve up coffee although it is its main function. Manufacturers are now making non-coffee cartridges like hot chocolate and crystal light for the Keurig but the main bulk of Keurig stuff is coffee or tea.I just woke up with this question. I don't know anyone who has a Keurig on their Christmas list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Sure. I probably wouldn't buy someone equipment to brew beer, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnn727 Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Sure, we LDS Covenant not to drink coffee/tea. The rest of the world (non-LDS) are not under that Covenant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bini Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Don't have one but every time I walk by one I am so very tempted. And yes, I'd get one for someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 I think I would if I were in a position to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dravin Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 I really don't view it as much different then buying them an electric kettle understanding that the primary reason they want one is brewing tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Eowyn's post - she said not beer. So brewing tea is ok but not beer? Is it that alcohol is more harmful than tea that's the issue or is it something else?

Bini Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 A home beer brewing kit is a different ball game because it is solely used for beer, whereas, a Keurig or kettle can be used for different beverages. So if someone chose not to purchase a beer brewing kit, I can understand that, but I don't believe a Keurig or kettle fit into the same category.

Irishcolleen Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Keurig warning: If you brew hot cocoa in a Keurig that has been used for coffee a coffee flavor will linger. Pretty disgusting for those of us who cannot stand the taste of coffee! (Not a Mormon and can't stand coffee) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classylady Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 For a non-lds friend or family member (though, come to think of it, I don't think I have any non-lds family members), I would buy them a Keurig if it was that important to them. It wouldn't be my first choice of a gift. And to clarify, I would not buy a Keurig for an inactive lds family member or friend. My hope for them would to have them come back into the church, and buying them a coffee machine seems to condone their choice of inactivity.

Pretty disgusting for those of us who cannot stand the taste of coffee! (Not a Mormon and can't stand coffee)I didn't have that problem. We have a Keurig at work and a friend brought in a kcup of hot chocolate for me to try. I actually was worried about the coffee issue, but found it to be free of coffee or any lingering taste.I think the reason why (from what I can see) is the Keurig uses some kind of pokey stick thing to poke a hole through the kcup. Since it uses a separate cup for each thing, there is very, very little residue left at the spout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
