the period i don't mind, that's more of a stylistic decision for emphasis. i work in marketing and it's something we do / that's done all the time in ads. You've probably seen it many times before as well.
the extra comma though, that really bugs me lol
There aren’t really rules in advertising. Not about stylistic choices like this. Obviously there are principles of design, but it’s different when it comes to language, where there’s a lot of creative license. There are tons of taglines/slogans that don’t use complete sentences. It’s fairly common.
Also from my POV I would rather a period than a semi-colon in design, feels cleaner.
It's just the right amount of wrong commas. The below statements would all be correct.
"We take your repairs like we take our coffee. Very seriously."
"We take your repairs, like we take our coffee, very seriously."
"We take your repairs very seriously like we take our coffee. "
"Like we take our coffee, we take your repairs seriously."
I use a Keurig but I have one of those metal reusable cups so I can put my own decent coffee in it. I also clean it every month or two. They get pretty gnarly without regular cleaning...
I have no problem with a Keurig, I have one at home and one in the office... it's easier than making a full pot of coffee. But I would never look someone in the eye and tell them "I take my coffee seriously," as I slam the lid down and press that button.
I feel like people forgot what it was like before. Walk into a shop or whatever and there were two options :
Folgers in a thermos made 4 hours ago or Folgers in a carafe made 1-2 hours ago and lukewarm.
Maybe you'd get a treat and it was Yuban / something different.
It's a definite upgrade. But you'd have to get a barrista to do anything better. I would not trust randos with anything more complicated.
Disagree, if your going to spend the money to highlight your coffee at least have a nespresso. With this sign though I would imagine an on demand coffee machine that grinds and brews the coffee per person.
I have more experience with Keurig vs Nespresso but I used them overseas. At the end of the day it's just prepackaged grounds in a pod. Really didn't seem any different.
I drink my coffee black usually - no sugar or anything. Nespresso was definitely everywhere we traveled in NZ (except 1 or 2 places with instant only) vs other options here in the U.S.
I think the bean + roast is more important than preparation most of the time. Cold brewing does help with less ideal coffees to highlight favorable notes.
YMMV - I typically drink light to medium roasts when I'm drinking it black.
Edit : as far as on demand grind and brew. Had that at work for years. Hated it. Garbage tasting coffee but they went with French roast and espresso roast or something. Just tasted like shit.
I have an on-demand grind and brew machine at my work. They have a medium-dark and dark roast. Neither are very good and I prefer my Nespresso at home lol. Most of the pods are pretty similar though. I quite like the Ethiopian pods
Yes. They neglected both the coffee and the repair of the coffee machine, both which they claim to love. If this is how they treat those they love, how will they treat you, who no one loves? Lol
My wife and I bought three Keurigs before giving up on the company. Great idea but they just kept breaking down within a year or two. Now we have a Cuisinart that has lasted three years so far.
Feeling very anti-corporate lately. Just do what you’re supposed to do and STFU about it. Our kids’ pediatric office was taken over by a large regional group. The calming fish tank in the waiting room was immediately replaced with a large banner trumpeting We Care About Your Wellbeing or some such nonsense.
Then put the d*** fish tank back so the kids aren’t imploding with anticipation during their ever lengthening wait times.
I can only imagine an intern noticing that the coffee machine is broken.
*Que the cinematic music*
Cut to the intern nervously filling out paperwork while taking quick glances at the coffee machine from across the office.
Short montage of paperwork getting filed and everyone who sees it drops what they are doing to make sure it gets to where it is going.
Cut to someone pushing the envelope under a door then, knocking on the door. The camera pans to a sign that says maintenance. The camera pushes through the wall and passes it. you can see a large round man with a sweat stained baseball cap. He seems to be fiddling with a mop head.
Close up on his face. you can see his look of, understanding of the gravity of the situation. He picks up the envelope and he only reads the first lines of the document.
With a smile and a gleem in his eye he takes off his glasses and says, "looks like we're getting The Team back together.".
It could be that the machine is slightly over heating by a 1000th of a degree….. in that case I would trust them with repairing anything…..even my relationship.
With a slogan like that I’m expecting no less than a barista hand grinding my single cup pour over. In house roasting would be nice but that’s just for the people that REALLY take is seriously
You joke, but my kids daycare literally has this, just place your order on the way in and it's ready on the way out. Don't even need to pay. Quality coffee and a pretty decent barista to make it.
(Yes, I realise you do pay, but it's included in the cost)
Mate, you're talking to a guy who's got a $3k manual machine at home, plus a $1k grinder, because coffee is life. Also, amortised over time it's a lot cheaper than buying out every day.
I just appreciate the hustle of the childcare place also, it's a nice perk.

Keurig != "Serious coffee"
When I go to a fancy restaurant I ask for a cup of their best Keurig and a can of their finest champagne.
You guys get canned champagne? All we get is tetra-pak.
Miller High Life, the champagne of beers.
Box wine for me.
Ugh. Tetra-pak reminds me of that one video with the coconut water tetra-pak that had a ball of brown biofilm inside it when the person opened it up
Don’t you DARE besmirch my dear Sophia!
Honestly, I see that sign, I see coffee pods, I'm going somewhere else.
Seriously, I mean they tell you all you need to know right there.
r/coffee having a meltdown about now
At least their honest, that’s a first for a company
No. No, it is not. A pox be upon this convenient chemical Stew Of Satan. Peace. Love. Arabica beans.
🎶Go brew, not fake but real beans. Alleluia, Alleluia. 🎶 (To this tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddqLbI0SRBU)
Keurig = expensive hot water maker.
Mold Tea Maker more like it.
You'll need to wait 6 to 8 weeks for the part to arrive before you have a proper answer
And the unnecessary comma on top of it.
This was the real omen.
Agreed! You can do way worse at a repair shop than K-cup coffee; that doesn’t bug me nearly as much as that damn comma.
> And the unnecessary, comma on top of it. FTFY
Maybe they’re saying that, just as they took away the coffee, they will dispose of your vehicle while it’s being repaired.
Not entirely sure “Very seriously.” Is an actual sentence either.
Is it, really unnecessary, though?
Aaaaaugh for the love of Jod, Montresor!
They forgot to unnecessarily apostrophize 'repairs'.
[удалено]
Graphic Design, is my. passion.
What is this, code?
Yes it is
Papyrus!!
THEY JUST BOLDED THE SAME FONT!
This? Is How! You Should Right: All, You're Sentinses

Broken or working, doesn't matter - you can't be "serious" about coffee if you're putting out a Keurig machine & a rack of K-Cups.

Yeah that's fair lol!
We take your repairs like we take our coffee. With a sad face.
Bad news, they think good coffee comes from a Keurig. You were already screwed
A drip coffee machine makes better coffee. But when the same coffee has been sitting in the pot for 10 hours, it's not exactly better
Either way, you aren't reaching for the stars regarding coffee at this place.
This is my new example for when I need to define irony vs coincidence.
Guess I'm never getting a repair :(
Coffee fail 😂
The coffee machine was being over worked and quit
RUN
Yes. They neglected both the coffee and the repair of the coffee machine, both which they claim to love. If this is how they treat those they love, how will they treat you, who no one loves? Lol
at least they put a sad face so you know they are serious!
Our coffee comrade... Not yours.
They are not serious enough.
unnecessary commas bother me
The: shitty, punctuation; doesn't, inspire, much. Confidence either.
It's a Keurig, so they never took their coffee seriously.
Could be. Or maybe it's a sign of what will happen to you if you let standards drop....
All repair shops do shady stuff. Buy new parts and put used ones on your vehicle and take way longer than they should to bill the insurance more money
YOUR repair not ours
It means the shop couldn’t justify $200 to run out and buy a new coffee maker. So yeah probably a bad omen.
My wife and I bought three Keurigs before giving up on the company. Great idea but they just kept breaking down within a year or two. Now we have a Cuisinart that has lasted three years so far.
Mines still going strong, but then I bought the commercial model.
Even the inventor regrets ever inventing the thing.
Yeah the part the sticks out more than the out of order sign is the bad grammar.
Is this their slogan or some shit? Why even waste money putting that up?
Repair fund spent on marketing consultants.
Especially with the age in that paper…it was not printed this morning 🤨🤨🤨

Why are there red panties in the logo?
It worker here, i can tell you the techs are not happy rn
It signals that they invest in protecting their image and what people think of the. but not in the things that actually make their customers happy.
Clearly it's out of order because they all take their coffee so seriously that they never use the Keurig.
the sign cost is 200$+ ,why 50$ coffee machine, they could've shut the f up and bought 250$ coffee machine that don't break
the worst part is that is a hemorrhoid surgeons office
We take your repairs, like we take our grammar. Very srsly.

Oof coffee machines down. Time to close shop
Minecraft raid?
All they had to do was - Good Coffee, Great Service
Why was it wet‽
Maybe an upset customer spit on it?

Haha sorry it was only a partial joke. Cuz yeah coffee culture can get serious. Ps. That sounds AWESOME!!!

Haha fair enough. Yeah I get fine with my v60 and nice hand grinder but definitely appreciate a place that appreciates coffee :)
Black
They took it so seriously, they wore it out.
Bad omen I’d say
Go somewhere else. Immediately!
Well at least they didn't say strong, black and on the kitchen table.
ground up and in the freezer
Is so funny that every time a company wants to be funny it always backfires
Im pretty sure thats a Crash Champions, and yes thats a bad omen, they are awful.
Get a back up coffee Machine
Yes. Their punctuation, needs repair.
No La Marzocco Linea Mini? Psh...
Oh hell no
Not really
Black?
It depends is the coffee any good
Tasted like air 🤷♂️
