The Chicken & Egg coffee syndrome
Don't read this, it's not that interesting. Seriously. Go here instead.
I use one of these for coffee
You can make a good strong cup each time. Waste? Yeah, I go through two filters a day but I don't drink Starbucks with a double paper cup so actually I waste a lot less than I might. And, for the cost of a day's worth of Starbucks, you can drink for two weeks like this. Mmm. Coffee.
But there are problems. This morning I put the filter together, put the coffee in it, put the cream & sugar in the cup, got the water out of the microwave and ... leaving the filter contraption on the counter, poured the water right into the cup. My wife said "that's a weak cup of coffee."

That's the Chicken & Egg (coffee & bean?) syndrome. Somedays you need to have drank the coffee in order to make the coffee.
