I wish I could make coffee as well as my K-cup brewer. It can’t be done. And every cup is fresh. I love it.

Actually, it's really easy.
- Take some beans, pour them in your grinder.
- Grind them.
- Pour grounds into press.
- Add boiling water.
- In a couple minutes, pour into cup in which you have already placed a spoonful or so of sugar, to taste.
Add a splash of Bailey's or Amaretto or cheap scotch or honey bourbon or etc or etc.

Your crappy coffee problem is solved! (And for cheaper than the gayrig can do it!)

I found a grinder specifically designed for K-cups. It’s awesome.

One word. Capresso.

I actually thought that for a number of years I made good coffee. I actually do, just not as good as a K-cup machine. I have used a grinder for years. I have a French Press, but the coffee didn't taste as strong as I like it (my wife and I like coffee that borders on espresso), and there is a lot of cleanup involved. I usually made drip coffee, but it gets old eventually due to constant heating.

I recently bought a new K-cup machine called iCoffee. This machine features a rotating needle that ensures that all the grounds in the K-cup are utilized. It is actually compared to a French Press in the style of coffee it makes. Fortunately, I have found several K-cups that have the flavor I look for: Peet's Major Dickason's Blend and Barista Prima Italian Roast. Even if I produce a pot that tastes as good or near it, after the first couple of cups it starts to burn. And I seldom add any flavorings or alcohols to coffee except during winter.

The only drawback to K-cups is the price. But I enjoy every single fresh cup of coffee and never throw out any more old coffee. I guess it won't be long before the government outlaws K-cups because they'll claim they create too much waste for landfills; so I'd better enjoy them while I can.
