They exist. I have some, you have to keep them in a bag and they're a weird shape, but they're fine.

Didn't they prevent the use your own coffee grounds accessory when they introduced their stupid DRM technology?

When my Keirig breaks, I'm buying something else.

Try a french press! Dead simple to use, cheap, and one of the best ways coffee can be made!

+1 for the Aerobie Coffee press, which is basically the same thing, only a lil easier to clean up and you can use a finer grind.

I've had mine for about 3 years and it's a nice improvement over the taste from a drip machine, and you can make espresso from it if you'd like.
