I Almost Threw Out My Keurig. It Wasn't Broken.

Every cup from my Keurig started tasting weak, flat, stale — so I unplugged it and stuck it in a closet. Then I learned the dirty secret of grocery store K-Cups: by the time a pod reaches your kitchen, it's usually spent months going from factory to warehouse to truck to shelf. The flavor oils are long gone. Some brands even over-roast to hide it.

The fix wasn't a new machine. It was fresh pods from Angelino's, a family-owned L.A. roastery that roasts, packs, and ships within 3–5 days — straight to your door, from 39¢ a cup.

Major Story

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 US presses Ukraine over diesel attacks

US President Donald Trump called on Ukraine to stop targeting Russian refineries while speaking to reporters at his golf resort in Doonbeg, Ireland, on Sunday.

President Trump said his administration had raised the issue with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, blaming the strikes rather than the war with Iran for diesel shortages.

A senior European official involved in mediation discussions disputed that explanation, telling Politico anonymously that Washington was making Ukraine a scapegoat for its difficulties over Iran.

The official argued that any agreement to stop attacks on energy infrastructure must be reciprocal, requiring Russia to halt its strikes on Ukraine's energy grid.
