        Maybe black coffee with just a hint, a tiny tiny inkling of a taste of garlic? Try it and report back

          I think you’d need something that tastes good with coffee and garlic to “bridge” them. What that would be, I have no idea lol

            My fat brain just thought of bacon as the thing that goes with coffee and garlic. What a disgusting flavor trio!

    Thank goodness they got rid of the DRM pods so this could be possible.

    Haha. Though to be fair, I doubt you could pull anything to make what comes out of a Keurig worse. Absolutely don’t get why these have proliferated so much, they’re like the worst of all worlds, especially with the amount of waste they produce.

      I have one that I inherited. I literally only use it if I want a single cup of coffee (usually later in the day) and use a reusable KCUP and Folgers. Also occasionally make hot chocolate with it.

      The price of the pods is pretty atrocious for sure, although there are some of them I think are decent. But as someone who recycles everything possible, it’s really annoying the facilities around me don’t take these things. Biggest reason I won’t commit to it. Bigger than the price.

      What’s the quickest way to make coffee? As long as it doesn’t taste like sewage I don’t care how good it is tbh.

        Best single cup and easy? A Clever Dripper. It’s a cone shaped cup that you put a filter and grounds in. Add hot water, let it sit for 2-3 minutes. When you set it on top of your cup a stopper moves and the coffee drains from the filter into your cup. Cleanup is dumping the filter and a rinse. Half asleep me makes it every morning.

        Yeah but then a Senseo does the same with a fraction of the waste. Or a Nescafé with still a fair bit of waste but much less already.

        And those are just direct competitors that ultimately do the exact same thing.

        Another really fast option for far superior coffee is a small French press for single portions.

        And of course there’s actual fully automated espresso/coffee makers but those are really pricey by comparison so eh.

        But my favorite solution? A timed switch on a drip coffee maker. Got me by for years, cheaper in operation, more variety, less waste.

          If you’re okay with a pod machine, just buy instant. I always have some handy on those “shit I don’t have time to wait for a pot to brew” days.

          I have a philips fully auto espresso maker, and it’s cheaper than a keurig after something like 600 cups. Which for my household is less than a year’s worth of coffee. Granted, that breakeven calculation depends on comparing to using k cups not reusable filters.
