No, talking about an air popper. Have ran about 26 pounds through it over the last year (92 grams at a time!). I might try other methods in the future. Thought about those $300 drum rollers, but really, I have been happy enough with my popper. Hmm, I also just realized I drank 26 pounds of coffee this year, awesome.

I've had problems with air poppers---I couldn't seem to get the coffee hot enough for the second crack.

A presto poplite (1400 watt), though requires near constant stirring, can go beyond 2nd crack in about 4 minutes.

Not a coffee drinker, but the packaging waste is what amazes me about the system. At the end of the day, the trash can at work is half-full of used k-cups. AFAIK, only the foil lid can be recycled.

I love the Keurig. It is very convenient but I agree the waste is a bit much. I paid $10 for reusable K Cups and they work great (just don't overfill)[1]. Keurig even sells their own reusable cups.[2] [1] http://www.amazon.com/Brew-Save-Refillable-Single-cup-Brewer... [2] http://www.amazon.com/Keurig-K-Cup-Reusable-Coffee-Filter/dp...

Don't deal with Keurig, because they are taking a page out of the printer industry, making their machine only compatible with their cartridge / coffee pod so, that they can control the price, keep it high... I would not use a Keurig machine as you cannot properly clean the water container, machines end up with mold and other nasties growing inside the machine, so they are potential health hazards, plus the K-cups made of plastic also add chemical residue to your coffee...another reason to leave it alone!

You can also use frenchpress, aeropress or Espresso Machine. You will make far better coffee at ¼ of price.

I use Rancilio Hd Silvia & Vario grinder, it is very durable and allows me make high quality coffee. The following article will introduce you to espresso machines, there is listed best espresso machines within various price range&class - http://wikiespresso.com/the-best-espresso-machines-for-the-h.... If you want to dig deeper, you can visit coffeegeek and home-barista forums, where community members will help you with great enthusiasm.
