I got up this morning and thought “I need a coffee”. I’m not interested in pour overs, I want that shit ready when I get up. Are people still doing drip coffee makers in 2026? Or are they all bullshit machines full of vendor lockin?

      I feel like the machines themselves break down left and right. Push the button and coffee just doesn’t come out. Open and close it ten times to get something to happen, etc. Never an issue I’ve had with a classic drip coffee maker, and obviously not a percolator or French press. As a coffee appliance I feel like it’s the most failure-prone out there

        I’ve never personally owned one, but I surely bought the reusable pod for the office.

      Keurig makes some of the worst coffee I’ve ever had. Id take instant over keurig or none at all.

      Nespresso vs Keurig, nespresso actually makes good drinkable coffee and the keurig does not.

        Idk I used to put Café Bustillo (yeah I know, but it was affordable at the time), at work and kept the machine clean, it was drinkable. I don’t care for instant, at all. I’ll skip it first. And teas are nice, I’ve been doing some dried chamomile or rose flowers lately. I need to get jamaíca.
