But I only want 1 cup.
After working thru a literal dozen coffee makers (including 2 Keurigs), I’ve settled on how to make an excellent cup fast using an AeroPress ($30 device, makes 1 cup, negligible waste) - though I thoroughly sympathize with those using a Keurig and its “insert pod, push button” simplicity & speed.
Best is a vacuum brewer, but that’s a devoted half-hour of work.
For GOOD HEALTH, you need at least three cups a day! Really!
I went over to the AeroPress office. Thought I might buy one.
Too complicated!!
But the Aerobie Sprint Ring was really cool! Got one for my kid...almost as good as the lights on the Keurig!
Depends on what you consider waste. My research indicates that the AeroPress requires more coffee [dry measure] per cup, than say, any given drip style.
I like my FP, but the cleanup sort of encourages the ease of the programmable drip during the week.
