Do people really not know that single cup electric makers have been a thing since at least the eighties? Mine is one my dad bought in 85, a black and Decker one.
One scoop of coffee in a washable filter (which, btw is still the original one, no issues), pour water, hit the switch, walk away. Makes a pleasant gurgle when finished.
And it isn't like there weren't single cup options before that, they just weren't necessarily electric. Shit, my grandfather would make single cups with a cloth tea bag and a percolator stuck into some embers when camping, back when he would take us kids out before we drank coffee too.
Fuck keurig.
Thanks, that whole announcement read like (and naturally is) corporate propaganda.
I think you summarized the reasonable alternatives well.
