Anyone who admits to using coffee pods should be forced to work in the bauxite mines.
They make reusable pods, wherein you tuck tiny filters and then brew the coffee through there. So you can just pick up a regular pack of beans, grind them yourself, and use them in the machine. When I was first getting into coffee, this was an efficient way to avoid having to have a drip pot set for a while. Well, he'd probably just pick up pre-ground coffee, but you know.
Mind you, I do not think that Lou will do this - you have to clean them between uses, which is much more work than just ejecting the expensive-ass polluting-ass pods into the trash.
Even if he were to do that, the cost of creamer - which I assure you he would use, because it comes in retardedly sugary flavors - is out of this fucking world.
Once I stopped making shit coffee, I stopped using the stuff. I looked the other day out of curiosity and good fucking god that shit's gone crazy in the last five years.
You also have to descale and replace the water filters on Keurigs fairly regularly. There are cheap alternative brands that make this affordable, but I have a feeling Lou will only settle for the name-brand-best, which are not infrequently $10 more. That's assuming he doesn't immediately drop the coffee habit and try to sell the machine, which honestly seems the most likely to me.
This is a new one, the fact he got this machine rather than more or bigger tiger titty art, or electronics of some flavor, is out of character.
I think a lot of people get into coffee because of social dynamics, and so with Lou's social life it follows.
Chances are that he consumed some form or another of consoomer media, thought it looked cool, but didn't actually want to learn how to make it.
I'd bet my Chemex that this giant manbaby is using that Keurig for hot chocolate.
The proper use for those machines. Great for hot water on demand for tea, too.
I love the convenience when I first wake up in the morning and all I want is a single fucking cup of coffee.
There are cold-brew pitchers which don't involve that retarded cheesecloth-straining headache to make the 'perfect' cup. Unless you're looking specifically for a hot cup of coffee, they're super convenient and it's easy to dress the chilly coffee over some ice with a splash of milk or cream and maybe light syrup.
The taste of espresso is pretty life-changing, though. Takes a little longer if you want to add milk or syrup, but the extra ten minutes added onto the morning routine is so worth it.
