I like espressos (especially mochas) but they take a bit of work to prepare a single cup. With drip brew, I can do very little and get unhealthy amounts of caffeination into my corpse. Also, I pour ungodly amounts of creamer into my coffee. That Mason jar is quite literally half coffee half creamer.

What about an aeropress? Full disclosure, I haven't seen one in person and therefore never used one.

easy for an office. i can't compare to a french press since full disclosure, same reason

Aeropress would probably be better than a French press in an office setting. More compact and significantly easier to clean

I just use instant at my office though. I rarely use it, but I prefer it to Keurig or the drip machine in our office.

But I mainly just drive in with a cup of coffee from home.

I've never tried a single serve Keurig. What makes it undesirable, besides the wastefullness?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

it's single serving, preground drip brew coffee that tastes of plastic.

i got a basket so i could adjust a keurig. grind my own beans. reuse the filter. still tasted like shit. ended up being full of cockroaches. so it may have just been my machine

Thank you, I will avoid Keurigs.

Probably good, not my thing since it requires filters. Very compact tho so yeah.
