  These single cup machines are a step forward in convenience, but they’re completely backwards in quality and environmental waste.

  That to actually use freshly ground coffee, one has to resort to making their own “ghetto pods” is ludicrous. The ink jet printer world should not be informing coffee equipment makers how to roll out new formats.

  As a result, we have stale beans that have been pre-ground for weeks prior to brewing. And you can say “vacuum seal” all you want, but Sanka and Yuban have been doing exactly that on their cans of the cheap stuff for decades. No improvement there.

  And what’s with some of these single cups? A “ristretto” as a flavor rather than as a serving format or size? How cynical is that? Because these brewers don’t allow you to adjust your shots, they turn these bothersome issues into faux “flavors”?

  Then all the additional packaging and processing that goes into individually sealed coffee doses. You’d think these machines were designed in the burn-every-forest-down 1950s, not the supposedly eco-conscious 21st century.
