    would you rather sleep later, or get home from work earlier?

    I work 0530 to 1600 4 days a week and would not change voluntarily. When we have refueling outages it changes to 0530 to 1900 six days a week and this sucks.

    How do Keurig coffee makers work?

    they have ground coffee in the cups and the coffee is pressure brewed. You can get an adapter cup that will allow you to use any ground coffee. With the right coffee and not using the highest water setting they can brew a decent cup, and even from a cold start it takes 3-4 minutes.
