Sure they should. I have 3 and they make pretty good coffee. I grind my own beans in a burr-mill grinder, fill a little paper filter that fits in an EZ-cup cup, and presto, a good cup of coffee that pops into the trash. It allows me to have a maker upstairs in my den and at my desk in the office.

I want a tasty bit of convenient caffeine. I'm not looking to be a coffee snob, and the environmental impact is no net carbon greater than any other method. It's actually significantly better than Starbucks, which would be the alternative where I work.
