I love espresso. But I don't think I'd be interested in a DIY option.

I tend to use Nespresso, especially now that the cups are simply available in the shop (and cheap aftermarket options), it's pretty perfect.

I know the manual process is more environmentally friendly but when I wake up in the morning I have no headspace for fussing with coffee grinds. I just need good coffee right away. And I don't even own a car or anything nor have kids so my footprint is pretty low.

Aren't these things one of the most contaminant things you can have in the kitchen? Even the inventor regrets doing it.

Or is this different?

That's Keurig. We don't have this in Europe.

We do have other plastic pod ones like Nescafe Dolce Gusto. The nespresso one is using aluminium pods.
