it's fine. and I can have it hot or cold, and using it as an ingredient in anything else is a cinch.

Here, here. I only drink store brand instant. I can't imagine having a separate appliance just for coffee, seems like a waste of money and space. And I don't want to overpay for, or overcomplicate the simple act of getting caffeine into my system.

    There are several options that don't require an appliance (electrical at least). For example a french press or a moka. You can buy grounded actual coffee and use one of those. Neither of those use disposable filters or require special maintenance and can provide a tasty cup of coffee.

    Thanks for the advice. I know You mean well. But those are still appliances, it's still more work than boiling water, still more expensive and you have to clean up after.

    It's like literally 2 more minutes of "work" and you'd be consuming something that's actually organic and tasty. On top of that you'd also have like a thousand more options regarding flavors. But hey, you do you.
