French press, Aeropress, pour-over drippers, and even the Moka pot come to mind, but those require more attention than a standard drip brewer. Yet it's difficult to find a reasonable, quick, and easy alternative for a single cup.
(Nespresso, I see you over there, hand raised like Hermione Granger in Professor McGonagall's class, but you're not much better.) What then? When I asked Keurig PR about that last point, they got back to me, but they never answered the question. Are all the cheap hotels going to start recycling programs? How many people are going to be committed enough to bother? Plus, where I live in Seattle, you can’t recycle any plastics smaller than three inches across, and a K-Cup is an inch shy of that. While Keurig is committed to having their K-Cups in the United States be recyclable by 2020, I’m not sure how well that’s going to work out. Still, can't we do better? There are bazillions of those little Keurig capsules clogging our landfills in the name of convenience.

Fill one with water, insert the pod full of coffee grounds, put your mug underneath, and press the brew button.
For that, Keurig-style machines boast an undeniably convenient setup.
Thing is, while regular drip coffee machines can brew a full pot easily, they struggle mightily when you try to make a single cup. There was a lot of convenience in that machine's push-button coffee, but thinking of how much waste this creates all over the world stuck in my craw. After a few days, I happened to look into the trash can next to the desk and saw almost nothing in there but a couple handfuls' worth of spent Keurig pods that would soon be heading straight for the dump. I recently stayed in a cheap hotel in San Diego, using room 417 as an office while I was in town.
