Sounds fine if you don't care too much how your coffee tastes. Granted, buying coffee from a cafe always comes with a markup, but nice fresh-ground coffee beans (which you can also do at home and do pour over if you want) definitely beat instant coffee.


Aeropress + an electric kettle == pretty good coffee with roughly the hassle factor of instant.

Honestly, I think it's even decent with coffee that's ground ahead of time if it's stored well. Alternatively you can use it to make coffee concentrate that will keep for a few days in a fridge.


Grandparent is definitely being sarcastic...


No he’s not? I didn’t find that post particularly sarcastic, caffeine is just a chemical. If all you care about is getting a quick fix all the extra taste and ceremony has no added value.


I was unsure myself until I got to this:

"This is awesome because there's no heat or hot water in the storage unit I'm renting. That's a subject for another post, but I just need a parka and a pair of fingerless gloves to get the exact same experience as those co-working hipsters."

a spectacular work of satire
