sean:
okay so this might be a bad thread but man these things make me irrationally upset and i need to rant about it for a minute.

so i'm guessing by now most people have seen these single serve coffee machine things or whatever that exist nowadays, since they have been around for a lil while now. at first i was like hey whatever cause i saw it at my dentist office as a way to serve complementary coffee, which i guess is neat. however, i recently learned that people buy these things for their fucking homes. that, i just can't fucking understand. are people so lazy that they can't even use a normal coffee machine anymore? and that they are willing to pay the presumably large overhead for little packets of coffee that probably sucks to use their single serve machine? i dunno i guess what i am saying with this thread is that i am really scared of the way technology is slowly adapting to the laziness and apathy of american culture and i am not okay with this at all this not what i signed up for.

discuss?

pen:
Some of those machines are for people who only drink 1 cup in the morning and don't need to make a whole pot, as it would just be a waste.  They don't all need the individually wrapped packet things, but have smaller filters made just for them that you can just scoop 1 cup's worth into.  They make sense and take up less counter space.

Metope:
But then why don't they just get a french press? They come in all sizes, so whether you want one cup or 8, they're perfect.They're dirt cheap, the coffee tastes better and is actually healthier (the filter in a coffee machine traps a lot of the healthy oils that seeps through in a french press), and it takes up even less counter space!

pwhodges:
I thought at first it was an espresso machine, but then I saw otherwise.  Weird - even when I'm alone I make a pot of two or three cups to keep me going.  Actually, in the UK, decent filter machines are getting kinda hard to find, as the shops seem to think that everyone wants espresso.
