I do what Alyce does, I've been using the Mellitta cone for years. I can buy what ever flavor of coffee I want and it's ready in a few minutes. No coffee pot to clean just the mug and rinse out the plastic cone. Those little prepackaged coffee pods are expensive and create more waste in our landfills. Sure they are convenient but why not just buy the one that you fill and reuse. That way you can experiment with the brand, and type of coffee you want and put in how many scoops you need for your taste.
