rampant consumerism question of the day

so, aside from being wasteful because single serving extra packaging etc, any opinions on k-cup type keurig coffee pod systems? someone i know who lives alone and has started drinking more coffee is potentially interested. and the single-servingness appeals, as does the variety of available flavors and such.

also, where are k-cup pods available for retail purchase? or is it all mail-order?

I make my own single servings using a Melitta single-serving cone and a coffee filter. Coffee freezes well, so there's no reason one couldn't buy a variety of flavored coffees and make a cup at a time. Just scoop out a scoop of whatever kind of coffee one wants, dump it in the filter which has been placed over a cup, and pour in boiling water. Cheaper, less wasteful, easy to do.
