I finally broke down and made a kcup at work, took a sip, and then immediately threw it in a child's face and scraped my tongue with my vintage scarf. There is no return. I wonder if the Lord intends me to suffer for 21 days or if I should get my old latte machine out of the upstairs closet which must be cleaned daily and froths mechanically. I cannot in good conscience buy 100 worth of coffeemaking gear as a redundancy when I could get 2 tickets to wilco for that.

Picasso you did it wrong. Just have a homeless man cum in your mouth and it'll be the same taste as drinking your coffee

Geez man, just buy a Nespresso machine. They're the best bang for the buck, you get the milk frother, and the cups are easily purchasable online or at some local stores.

Most ppl i know are happy with this
Amazon.com: Reusable Nespresso Capsules - Sealpod Stainless Steel Refillable Pods for Nespresso Machines (OriginalLine Compatible) (2, 100 Lids): Kitchen Dining
It's basically a stainless steel nespresso cup and foil stickers, so you don't have to "crimp" foil around the cup.
if you're going to go this route, then get these 3rd party foil stickers instead
Amazon.com: CM Lid - Self Adhesive Lid for Empty Capsules for Refilling All Nespresso® Compatible Capsules (100, Silver): Kitchen Dining
I guess you could just buy the stickers and skip the stainless steel cup, but my friends say that the nespresso cups are too flimsy to reuse most of the time.
Then just buy a 30$ aeropress and skip that gay ass milk shit and drink it black like a man.
aeropress is probably the best tasting coffee and often tied with pour over, only pour over requires, timing/skill/precision. Aeropress you just fill with near boiling water and squeeze.
Don't worry about the function and shit, sort by price and pick the prettiest one you can afford. Although, since you're huge you may want to find a huge pen too.
Are you wearing timbs and a hoodie?
Edit, that's what you've said you wear before I'M NOT RACIST.

So my TI-85 that I've had since I was 13 years old (20+ years), is finally dying. A couple lines on the display don't work anymore. It's still usable, but it's probably time I let go. The keys are caked in what I can only assume are human skin, oil, and probably snot. So I ordered a fancy new one:TI-84 Plus CE by Texas Instruments - US and Canada
I use approximately 1% of the features on it, but it's nice having a display where you can see what you typed, it does sequence of operations properly, etc. I use the conversions on it a lot as well. I see my estimator using one of those terrible non-scientific desk calculators and I just want to slap him and ask him how the fuck he can be productive when he has to start over every time he has a typo. Or how many calculation errors he makes because he can't see what he just input.
