    keurig makes the worst, most environmentally unsustainable, in the shorest amount of time

    and pourover takes maybe 5 minutes

    i can't abide an argument that there is any occasion in your life in which it depends upon receiving coffee in 30 seconds vs 5 minutes

    the problem with nespesso is that they put Nestle right in the name

    I mean, I'm not conscious enough to actually avoid nestle products, but when you put it out in the open there I'm all 'eeeeeeh'

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    They are $1.10/pod if you order in bulk. It's expensive compared to other methods but less expensive than a coffeeshop, so I'm fine with that.

    French press clean up isn't even bad if you use the spent grounds as exfoliators for your hands (or other things -- use them in the shower!)

    We have a compost bucket

    Coffee Grounds make a good air freshener actually

    good on ya

    I'd like to compost but we just don't have the space

    i thought about picking up some pods before i had guests over since using a machine is very fast and convenient but then i didn't

    French press cleanup is pretty simple, yeah. But having a machine that I can load my black coffee into, my wife can do her flavored coffee, and either of us could later use for teas, cocoa, or cider... It's pretty great.

    That said, all of those are inferior products to making them the proper way. But depending upon the k-cup some are close enough to where the price and convenience outstrip the decline in quality. Especially if, like me, you don't live somewhere where whole bean coffee is convenient (I usually have to order online or drive 45 minutes to the closest shop that carries more than vacuum pack over-burned crap).

    we went to a pretty gross lunch buffet and one thing on the menu was like, drink mixins

    we were wondering about one called 'sweet heat' and the waitress heard us and said it was real gross and she'd let us try it if we wanted

    so she brought an iced tea with sweet heat in it and I paid my coworker $2 to drink the whole thing and now his stomach hurts

    and I am very pleased

    That's my opinion on coffee.

    Keurig, re-usable cup, whatever delicious beans you like. As the only coffee drinker in my house, this is the perfect solution.

    i drink exactly 1 cup of coffee each morning

    i pop a pod in, hit a button, walk away, and come back to coffee

    it's a miracle of modern living

    there's this great thing called multitasking, which might get you home from work before midnight and help you make coffee

    you could, for example, boil the water on your way to the bathroom first thing and then pour over the grounds as you hop into the shower

    In order to finish packing for my trip south, I searched all over my apartment for my 3DS charger cable.






    i could not find it!






    Turns out it was in the big suitcase I brought to NYC last year (i'm not using it for this trip).

    I 3DS often. . _.

    yeah it's actually a peaceful ritual when you get used to it that I find helps give the chemical boost from the coffee a psychological boost to amplify it

    basically, for me, anytime I've make things harder for myself it's better in the long run

    music software is so much more immediate and accessible, but it's far too easy to mail it in and with hardware I am more present. I like shaving with a safety razor because it forces me to take 15 minutes and ends up being sort of meditative. I always try to make my own stock because the prep is another mindful period and it just smells fucking delicious (and I save scraps going "oh I'll throw this in stock later)
