Anti-Climacus

I have been writing all day for the past two days, and am currently buzzed on coffee, and so have begun to wonder what's the deal with those make-one-cup coffee makers. They have one in the department office here, and they had one (another brand) at the Program last year. It's free, low-cost (presumably) for the department, and it's a caffeine delivery vector, so it's not exactly a complaint, but... do people really like coffee made this way? I've never had a good cup and I've had a number that were bad that were not even bad in the way, say, gas station coffee is bad (ie has a relation to the real thing like Bad Chinese food has to Chinese food). Or have I just not found the right blend?
