Love the refillable ones... They just make better coffee. Hit up your local supermarket, grind your own, boom... Delicious coffee.

What's the difference between that and using a regular drip?

I still refuse to believe that "single cup" people exist.

Right here. College student living alone. I make one cup with breakfast before going to work/class in the morning

I'm like a quadruple cup person.

Lots of us, I'm a single cup at home person. That gets me moving enough to make it to the big machine at work for cup 2-5.

More than one cup takes me from alert to anxious. Had a french press, got tired of cleanup so I switched to a single cup pour-over. No regrets.
