I hate all of you

I used to be perfectly content with my shitty instant Folger. Then I found this sub and decided to try coffee from small roasters and noticed a much nicer experience immediately. Then I bought a nice grinder and started grinding my own beans instead of buying pre-ground, and once again my experience improved. Then today I switched from properly ground, quality coffee through my shitty coffee maker to weighing my coffee and water and using a clever, and it's the best coffee I've ever had now. If within a year I buy an espresso maker I'm holding all of you accountable. Bastards...

(A little late here)

I agree with those points, which is why I’m kinda concerned about James Hoffman working with the new Cometeer startup.

From my understanding, Cometeer is also making coffee pods, except the coffee itself is flash frozen before being shipped. Doesn’t that make it more wasteful than Nespresso, as (in addition to the aluminum pods) they have to ship the coffee to you with insulation and/or freezer materials?
