I hear you, I really do.

Most of the coffee I drink is $5 a cup local artisan-roasted pour over. But I can't tell you how many times popping a pod in the Kuerig as I rushed out the door saved me - and gave me the time to smell other-than-coffee roses.

It's presumptuous to pick one thing you like taking the time to do and accuse those who choose to do other things slowly of not doing anything slowly.

For most people, Kuerigs aren't destroying mindfulness or presence, either by force or as one of a thousand cuts.

I can appreciate a quick coffee, but around here most people just use instant for that use-case. Some people seem to prefer the taste of the pods, but I don't find it much different. Instant is considerably cheaper, and also keeps from adding the clutter of a coffee-specific gadget to the kitchen.
