The coffee guys know they don’t have to use K-Cups in their coffee making thingy, right?

I love the aeropress and think the whole kuerig/nespresso thing is a wasteful excess, but this doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
It is a strange, strange product no doubt, and I have questions about the market for this thing, but why work oneself into a tizzy?

It’s for the Costco shopper whose Keurig broke, like they do. “Now what am I going to do with all these k-cups, SHEESH!”

I use neither an aeropress nor a Keurig “our way or no way” machine, but I take a certain guilty pleasure in knowing this will piss the Keurig people off.

For maximum blasphemy wouldn’t a portafilter that allows you to lock a k-cup to an espresso machine’s group head and pull shots through that sweet plasticky mediocrity, rather than a puck of whatever the cool baristas are artisanally single-sourcing these days, be the true cursed adapter?
I just can’t decide if it would be better in suspiciously cheesy plastic with a slightly concerning chemical odor; or if it would be even worse if it were sumptuously and beautifully machined to match or exceed the quality and feel of the machine it locks on to; while cradling its unlovable payload.

¯_(ツ)_/¯ it’s filling a niche, I suppose.

I love that it comes in the color normally reserved for Decaf in diners and donut shops across America.
Extra Blasphemy Points!

This is truly a product that no one asked for.

If you don’t have an aeropress, you can get a slightly streamlined experience with one of these

I think the market is mostly the same people who steal stationary from the office. Grabbing a case of these pods is simple compared to several boxes of legal.

This was fantastic. As someone who put in their time in food service, my initial reaction was “why is it decaf?”

The logical next step would be a portafilter that accepts nespresso pods.

I have a hand-pumped espresso maker, and I got a Nespresso adapter for it. Took it camping last week. Worked great, and I don’t care who got mad about it.

If I had an Aeropress, I’d buy an adapter kit.
