Hello, my name is Zack and I am addicted to coffee. Hi, Zack! If I don't have my coffee in the morning, my day just isn't right. So when I found out about a new fantastic option to get coffee for a great low price, well of course I had to check it out! It's the Rubi coffee kiosk and one was just installed in our local grocery store! So now I can shop for my groceries and have a tasty and cheap pick-me-up in the process. Because we all know our beloved coffee shops can really make a dent in our wallets, so every once in a while it's nice to have a cheap but still great-tasting alternative!
The #Rubi2Go coffee kiosk is super simple to use. You just put in your money (only $1.00! What a steal!) and set a cup under the dispenser, then choose your flavor with the push of a button (they even have a seasonal pumpkin spice flavor that I'm going to try next time- yum!) and the machine brews the coffee for you and voila! You're ready to start your day. It's fast, simple, cheap and delicious! All good words. Rubi uses Seattle's Best coffee made from beans that are ground right at the kiosk when you order, so it is not some vending machine fake coffe, but real ground goodness! There are also milk and sweetener options available for personalization. How cool is that?! I will absolutely be making this a regular thing, as I am a sucker for a good deal and good quality coffee. This is a beautiful marriage of both of those things.
Breakfast of champions:
And here it is in action. And me being a dweeb.

Are you a coffee addict, too?
Nice job Zack! I love quick and convenient coffee too! #client
We’ve gone 3 more times since this post! It’s so good and affordable!
You might notice that there is no Rubi machine at your grocery store anymore. Rubi went defunct in December 2013 and for a good reason. I’m an ex-Rubi employee. The whole Rubi concept was ground breaking, BUT the people/company running the operation were the biggest joke ever. From management shake ups to poor business decisions, Rubi was set up for failure.
Ah bummer! You’re right, the concept was great, as was the coffee and price. Too bad it went down like that.
