Easy. Just make your own coffee. It's cheap. Start with an Aero Press, a cheap grinder and a decent water cooker. Nice beans. Done.

Is a water cooker different than a kettle? Serious question from someone who just started non-drip coffee.

I think they just used that as a descriptor as you can essentially cook water in a couple of ways. Microwave in a cup, use the hot water out of a boiler or hot water attachment on machine, boil in a pot on the stove. My preference is an electric glass kettle.

Or Nespresso! Their patents have expired, so now you can enjoy a world of great and easy coffee at home without sponsoring Nestlé! Both 3rd party machines and coffee pods are available.

Aren;t those pods usually horrible for the enviroment though?

Also, it seems so incredibly expensive to drink that daily.

Usually, yes. There are reusable pods you fill with coffee grounds now, though.

First time hearing of Aero Press, interesting concept. I can also recommend the French press or going Turkish.

Aero press is the bomb when travelling. Awesome invention.
