I'm not really a coffee snob but comparing kcups to instant coffee is dumb.

If you had actually used one you would know the coffee can be pretty decent.
I don't think kcups taste actively bad but I also don't think instant tastes actively bad, both work just fine if your goal is to put a hot cup of caffeine in your mouth. I was suggesting instant as an alternative to kcups to people who insisted they didn't care that their coffee was objectively subpar they just liked the convenience.

If instant is just too low quality for you, then you should go to pourover rather than a keurig. Takes about the same amount of preparation, is cheaper, tastes better, generates less waste, and takes up less counter space.

Keurigs basically have no actual advantage over the previously available methods of making coffee.

It boils down to this: The Keurig is quick, takes pretty much no effort, requires no clean up except the cup, and I am in a position in my life where I have the disposable income to own one. Does it make the best coffee out there/better than fresh-brewed? No, it doesn't. But it doesn't have to be an either/or situation. I have a Chevy Equinox as a work car and a tuned '87 Mustang that gets five blocks to the gallon as a fun weekend car. They each have their respective qualities and one is not better than the other, being as their purposes are totally different.

Haha you drink Keurig single use coffee and drive a mommy tank. However you justify it, you're still a boring loser with zero taste. You should take some of that disposable income and do something exciting with it, not the same exact stuff everyone else in your subdivision is doing.

No, that only makes it worse. You work for a company that uses mommy tanks to entice The Type of Worker They Want™ (you) to stick with them.

lovely Poster Penny-farthing: used by people that think owning a keurig is a crime against nature to go to "work" (anything outside their poo poo apartment or mother's basement). Insisted to be better than all the above because it's cheaper, more eco-friendly, and only marginally more effort to use

I got a Keurig for Christmas like three years ago, used for two days and it's been in my pantry gathering dust ever since. You all must love some weak-rear end coffee because that stupid machine basically makes tinted, coffee-scented water.

I'm actually more interested in the number of people brewing a pot of coffee just for themselves than in the people creating waste via single serving coffee machines.

If this is the problem I recommend switching to a single serving scotch dispensing machine. Caffeine will only put your loneliness in sharper relief as your vibrating pulminary tract cause time to dilate while you take your morning dump and contemplate suicide.
