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.

Well the bigger problem with Nespresso is the coffee/espresso tastes horrible and you have to deal with the waste.

Based upon the sales of Nespresso machines and pods a lot of people seem to disagree with you regarding the taste.

People still buy supermarket instant. I think the problem is actually that people don't know what good coffee tastes like, nor do they care.

I'd argue most people don't even like coffee, they drink it for the caffeine.

I think I would agree that most people don't like their experience of black coffee.

Whether that's because there is no coffee or brewing method out there that, when served black, would satisfy them, or because they've just not had the chance to taste what they would consider good coffee, of that I am not sure.
