      Why not just take a caffeine pill at that point?

        Because instant coffee is both cheaper and tastier than all other forms of coffee. It is coffee in its final, perfected form. On top of that you can throw it in other things like protein shakes, yogurt, desserts, etc.

        I think they cause you to build a tolerance rather rapidly. I tried using caffeine pills for a while but discovered that having a Red Bull (for the added sugar and vitamins) actually did a better job overall.

    What you say is true, but it doesn't have a timer like my drip machine. I like to wake up to hot coffee, so that's a trade-off I'm willing to make.

    Think I've used a French press for foaming malk more than coffee. They're just kinda like, annoying to deal with.

        You have to adjust your grinder extra coarse so they coffee won't form a vacuum and be used to press down, it's steeping for 3-4 minutes so it takes longer, you're still left with all the mud and sludge in your cup because it doesn't actually filter worth a damn, and you still have to wash it thoroughly or the coffee oils will go rancid and start flavoring the coffee with repeat usage.

          boo hoo, you have to adjust your grinder for every machine and every individual coffee anyway.

          >it's steeping for 3-4 minutes so it takes longer
          all coffee takes ~4 minutes.

          >and you still have to wash it thoroughly
          throw the mesh in the dishwasher once a week, big whoop.

          Isn’t there a whole process with these things? Like you need a proper kettle with a spout to wet down the filter, then dump the filter water, then add the grounds, then pour water evenly over the grounds…
          Don’t get me wrong, it makes a good cuppa, but with a French press I literally just boil water in a pot, then dump it in the press, wait 5 min, and squish it down

                you're collecting all of your kitchen scraps anyway, just dump the grounds on top of them and then take them out to the bin as per usual.
