If you go through coffee regularly, it's actually quite a nice thing to invest in. There are a really amazing number of craft roasters throughout the country, and simply having a quality grinder is enough. And you don't need a crazy espresso setup to enjoy it. My setup consists of a motorized flat burr grinder, a 20$ kettle from target, and a pour over funnel. The quality is so much higher than anything you can get from a pod that's been sitting around with pre ground coffee, and it only takes a couple minutes while you're waiting for Claude to rewrite your codebase in Rust or whatever it is "Hackers" do these days

I want a cup of coffee not a science project.
There's some really good hand grinders these days too, minimal effort and only takes a minute.
I wonder if the gourmet high end plastic ends up in the brew.
As opposed to the plastic pipes your water runs through, the plastic water filter, plastic coffee maker, and plastic travel mug you pour it into?
It pairs wonderfully with all the plastic in your water.
If you want to save money get a Moka pot instead of that Keurig garbage.
Even cheaper, tastes better, and takes only slightly longer to make.
You can solve this problem even better by drinking instant coffee. Bonus points for it making yuppies cringe.
lol gourmet (coffee) and keurig pods don’t go together in the same sentence.
