Buying a one cup coffee maker? Worthwhile or terrible coffee?

My thoughts are if you want to make good single serving coffee take about 1500 and buy a real espresso machine and grinder (good grinder can be had for ~400 and there is currently a HX machine that you can get as introductory price for $995), then make americano's if you want good "Coffee". Of course I'm a little more shall we say "obsessive" about my coffee. Are the capsules fresh, no how could they be? If you are concerned about "Fresh" Coffee go buy yourself a $20 Poppery II hot air popcorn popper off ebay and roast your own beans, (It costs less than buying it at the supermarket). But you are not going to get "Fresh" coffee from the supermarket. You'd be MUCH better off with the roaster and just a regular coffee machine (or maybe a french press) as far as taste.

I used one at work and it was fun and useful, but I wasn't paying the bill. My wife bought one for home. It was expensive and she ended up getting rid of the machine and going back to a pot; if i need coffee I'll just microwave a cup. Its only been one day. ~Good Luck

This is just a silly waste of money. The cost of the pods is just too high. You could get a regular coffee maker make a small amount of coffee drink some throw a bit out (if you had to) and still save money. What I do is measure the cups of water in the cup that I am drinking the coffee out of and that way I am making just 2 cups at a time with out any waste. The thing that a single cup might be useful is actually good for the opposite of what you say. That is to say if you had a big family that liked all kinds of different drinks. That way each person could make his or her own drink. That some one makes sense although it is still suspect if it is really worth all of that money. I am old school that way. I say just make a pot of coffee and people can drink it or not.
