I know, I know, a French press makes the best coffee. PODs are for troglodytes etc,etc,etc.

But pods are the most convenient option at work. So that being said, is there any one you’ve found or heard is better than the others?

We have a Keurig at the office, and my favorite is the Lavazza Classic Medium Roast pods.

The San Francisco Bay Coffee pods from Amazon are pretty solid. They're a paper top and the bottom is made of a coffee filter type material so I find they don't have a little of a plastic taste to them like the other pods do.

That's what we have at the office. It's some pretty good coffee.

Ive tried em all. Solimo (amazon brand) is best and cheapest. Dark roast variety box (comes with French roast, dark roast, and medium roast)

I like a couple from Caribou...Lakeshore and Mahogany. Gevalia Colombia is also good. All are medium roasts.

Is it really that hard to make a pot of drip coffee? Not only does it taste far better than the pods, you aren't leaving the planet with tons and tons of unusable plastic waste.

yes, a-hole, its that difficult to make drip coffee in this situation. Since you're so worried about plastic and the planet, I'll assume you do not consume or use anything that requites plastic for manufacturing, shipping, or storage.

and since I know that's virtually impossible, I'll maintain my assumption that you're an a-hole as well as misguided and disingenuous.

Of course I consume plastic, but I don't start every day with it like you.

How? Explain to me the difficulty, please.

The way I see it, you have everything you need for drip if you're already using pods: water and electricity. Instead of pods just use ground coffee and get filters, or get a refillable pod and fill it with preground stuff yourself.

Go tilt at windmills in Asia and the Pacific rim countries that are dumping more plastic onto the planet than anyone else in the Western hemisphere.
I'll put all 10 pods I use per week into the burn barrel the homeless guy sits next to and let him burn them for warmth.

Are you not going to answer why your situation is particularly difficult?

In my original response, I asked is it really that hard to make a good pot of drip. In response to that, you've only pointed out the hypothetical plastic consumption of others.

I just want to know what makes it so hard for you to make a pot of drip coffee. You said it's "difficult." I just want to know.

no, I wont. Its more fun knowing it aggravates you. I did order an extra 100 pods from Amazon though based on your protest.
I'm going to shove them down the storm drain outside so they go directly into the sewer or maybe dump them off in a vacant lot somewhere close by. That way they'll go directly into the environment and not get recycled by some tree hugger.
