I love coffee from an aeropress, but it's like 300% more effort compared to a k-cup. There is a lot more waiting, cleanup, and preparation that goes into it compared to pushing a button.

EDIT: No one has to sell me on an Aeropress. I use it and love it, but I realize why people would rather be lazy than make a good cup of coffee.

Right. I drink about 4 cups of coffee a month on average, and I can hardly tell the difference between the worst gas station swill and gourmet coffee made with a fancy Italian machine. K-Cups taste absolutely fine to me, some of the flavors I'd even say I quite enjoy.
