I think I’m going to shelve the K-cup machine and get a regular coffee maker. I should have done it sooner during the pandemic, honestly.

I normally only drink 2 cups a day. Morning. After-supper.
But lately I’ve been wanting a 3rd. And it’s like... that’s the line of demarcation right?

Yeah, one of the first sacrifices we made was going back to drip coffee during the week, and only using our Nespresso on weekends. - znufrii needs to update his handle Sep 5, 17:12
coffee machines are based on bra sizes??? -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 5, 17:04 1
- Well if that were the case, I certainly wouldn’t be wanting K-cups. I’d be drowning in boobage. -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 17:24
Get a french press. Do it. It's environmentally friendly and an easy integration into routines. - Beryllium Sep 5, 16:58 3
- No. I admit to being fairly coffee unadventurous. -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 17:00 2
  - It tastes better. It works when the power is out. -- nm - loosilu Sep 5, 17:10 1
    - Only if you have a gas stove -- nm - zork Sep 5, 17:13
When would this third cup be? If you're drinking one in the morning and one at night that's 100% a k cup situation. - Ender Sep 5, 16:55 1
- I guess I was going to two-cup the morning. Or maybe I’m prepping for when I work the polls for 12 hours or whatever. Hehehe. -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 16:58
What's your reasoning for limiting your number of cups of coffee? Health? Impact on sleep? Jitters? -- nm - Mopsy Sep 5, 16:55 1
- I’ve actually been increasing my amount of coffee intake since I have more time to do nothing but freak out about the world. -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 17:26
I used a French press for YEARS, it's my go to when my Nespresso is out of capsules. - loosilu Sep 5, 16:47 10
- Do you have the traditional Nespresso or the Vertuo? - znufrii needs to update his handle Sep 5, 17:14 1
  - I want a proper espresso machine with the tamping and the frother someday - Reagen Sep 5, 17:21
- Also: I used a French press that David and Kim sent me, for like 8 years, till I broke it. - loosilu Sep 5, 17:09 1
  - We...give a lot of gifts. :) -- nm - David Sep 5, 17:26
- I sometimes use a French press for my loose teas. Got a couple of small ones at Dollarama - zork Sep 5, 16:50
- I just don’t think I’m a French press kind of guy. -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 16:49 4
  - Mine makes a cup and a half. It's great coffee but an annoyingly wrong amount. -- nm - Reagen Sep 5, 16:53 3
    - They come in sizes. -- nm - loosilu Sep 5, 17:08
    - Especially since that’s like a thimble full for someone like you. -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 17:00 1
      - I have a travel mug that I've used for ...15? years that's like a Starbucks grande size. I usually have just one a day. - Reagen Sep 5, 17:04
What about refillable k-cups? -- nm - zork Sep 5, 16:45 4
- Certainly a solution. Though with a coffee maker, entertaining others when we’re allowed to do that again would be great. - Qale Sep 5, 16:50
- in my experience it doesn't taste good. -- nm - loosilu Sep 5, 16:47 2
  - I suspect that's more to do with whatever you're putting into them than the concept of refillable k cups. -- nm - Ender Sep 5, 17:09 1
    - The nonrecyclable official K cups have weird internal engineering that includes freeze dried coffee powder for flavor. It's not me. -- nm - loosilu Sep 5, 17:11
