Everyone is already aware of drip packets, right?
As I see it, the trick is that they are compact and can be used anywhere, having boiling water and a mug, to brew coffee from good beans of your choice. They are also stored under nitrogen from the moment of grinding, so you get an excellent quality drink anywhere with minimal effort.
But, it turns out, not everyone thinks this way. Or maybe they don't think at all...
There's this character in the lab who does the following:
> buys empty drip packets
> ok_nvm_maybe_she_has_some_specialty_beans_and_loves_filter_coffee_so_much
_she_buys_empty_drips_but_then_again_why_not_use_a_forever_lasting_filter.gif
> buys low quality pre-ground beans and stores it in the lab for weeks
> brews it this way
> does_she_just_love_her_coffee_with_microplasctics_and_tasting

And the punchline: there's a great espresso machine in the lab that grinds good beans (almost always from Tasty coffee) right before brewing.
Anyone, please confirm that I'm not crazy.
