guys i hate single serve coffee machines so much

nah it's also got something to do with the hourglass shape of the coffee maker and the filter - the water stays in the grounds for a more specific amount of time depending on the coarseness of the grind, which is something drip makers don't really have a mechanism for and apparently this affects the bitterness and the flavour of the coffee a lot. maybe gravity is involved too? science? i read about this like four times on the chemex website and i still can't figure out the logistics of it but the cute guy with the beard at salt spring coffee told me to buy one and all the online reviews i have read seem to be glowing so i got a pretty good feeling about this thing.
also... yeah i'll be honest, i want people to know i am better than them when they walk into my apartment and see my fancy coffee maker. i live in a shallow city that is obsessed with coffee, you got to do what you got to do

Oh Tania, when will you learn. "Science" is just the Devil's magic!

I think that within a few years I'll have a Doc Brown-esque coffee maker in the morning. Whats all this "single use" cup shit? Just get a cafetiere. Costs like £5. For $179.95 I could get one of my housemates to get me coffee AND a handjob every morning for a good while.
But man got a bean grinder for my birthday (parents scoped that out) and damn thats some good coffee. Now, normal instant coffee isn't good enough. I have to get "Gold" or whatever shit is slightly different tasting.
And for the love of God coffee manufacturers, stop saying coffee has "nutty" under/overtones.

My ill will toward K-cup and similar machines is the waste that comes from all the miniature packaging.
I know a guy who has an Aeropress and thinks very highly of it. Enough that I'm tempted to buy one for myself - I don't enjoy drip coffee but I do enjoy espresso. And to buy it at a local brick-and-mortar establishment will only set me back about $35.
