So you find a way to clean the cups... now we have to figure out how to pack them and make them brew ready. Should we assume that each person shall have to repack their own cup or will this be handled prior to setting the cups in the cafeteria.
Either way, I'm thinking of those badge-a-minute machines or a bottle capper to be retrofitted to stamp the foil lid. Now all we need is foil and FDA approved adhesives, or some other way to seal the foil around the cup as I imagine this is crucial to their brewing process.
This goes back to Tech Support or Quality Assurance 101. Something works in one location, but doesn't work in another; what's different? We could assume Green Mountain Roasters do some level of quality control and that their brews are consistent. If so, that leaves the water supply and the machine as probable culprits. It's probably too difficult to trade machines (unless you have willing participants) so I'd start with the water. What do they use at work?
Some companies put out what appears to be the same product, with only the slightest difference in labeling/naming. This allows them to put a different version of the same product in the package, and it could be a lesser version, and the consumer usually doesn't notice the difference.
As long as we're inventing, let's step outside the box. Wait, to quote another poster (Wilson?), let's burn the box and dance around the fire naked.
Our preeminent resident scientists can help us genetically engineer a beast that eats coffee beans and excretes perfectly brewed coffee.
A starting point is a cat - goat hybrid with some frog genes mixed in.
It may not be brewed, but we have a start with Kopi Luwak coffee. So we start here, then combine it with a bird since they have a gizzard which effectively "grinds" their food.
My 2 younger children belonged to a youth group at a local church from about 6th-12 grades. It was called GYMSOX. They even had window decals-with and without the words. (think GTHC-with or without). What does GYMSOX mean?

Pretty clever, I thought. Parents and kids were all cool with this, so I guess it depends on context. If Tilly hears Merry Xmas hundreds of times and it comes from secular sources, I can see how/why she would be offended. If it was used in her/other churches as a clever way for an abbreviation like CathyCA pointed out, then I might think she would have little, if any problem with it. Of course, I am not speaking for her, just imagining what she feels when she sees/hears this.
I have completely lost my appetite!
Now that Jam Master Earl is unbanned, Tilly needs a new avatar.
Discuss.

I think I'm really glad I only drink tea.
