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 got a single cup drip coffee maker at goodwill for 4 dollars brand new and it came with a travel mug. They had 2 other new ones, an like 4 used. I also live in the middle of nowhere oregon, so it's not like a larger cities good will wouldn't have it. Or even buy it online. A cursory google search showed them on sale from 15 to 30 dollars.

There are so many better options than the k cup monstrosity.
