Before we were married. After marrying me, she couldn't afford vacations anymore.
So use the reusable cups with your choice of grounds.

Tried that. I'd rather brew a pot.
I'd rather make a press. The coffee doesn't sit and burn like most pots. I use the Keurig when I only want one cup.
I forgot I a
I did find huckleberry and merlot coffees in my pantry, I need to grind them both.
We have those at work, but I bring in my pods. The reusable ones are messy, depending on the people.

Sounds like a people problem, not a reusable pod problem. The reusable is not messy at my house. In fact I can get the grounds into the compost a lot easier than a store k-cup.
It is a people problem.

Tried a press for a while, just didn't get into it. I only make 2 cups at a time in the pot, so it doesn't sit long enough to burn. I'm good with that.
Sounds like a Gibbs slap is called for.

That's my method. Used grounds go into a container and then into the garden or compost bin.
Fancy! My pour over is just a Bodum and an electric kettle.

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
For years, I've been using a stainless steel cup with micro weep holes in my old Cuisinart K-Cup unit. Excellent for 1 cup of coffee usage. These kind makes for a slower brew time, (because of the micro-holes, coffee comes out slower allowing for better brew time), while others are more porous, seem to brew the coffee through them much faster. It also will also brew slower or faster depending on the size of the grounds. Regular ground brews much faster like pushing the button for hot water only fast. Finer grounds, such as how Peet's grinds theirs, take a bit longer, having more surface area to get the hot water, and more flavor, through.
A 20-once bag of Peet's will last me for about a month, or longer. Only needing about a tablespoon or so per cup fill. Unused Peet's gets stored in the fridge inside one of those insta-seal-a-jars to stay fresh until empty. Perfect cup of coffee every time.

I'm thinking it's the plastic tub that makes it taste and smell the way it does. I had some vac pack Maxwell House not long ago and it was fine. It wasn't S&E's maple French roast, but it was drinkable.
She knew going in that you had expensive hobby's.

Coffee is my life.
At work I have a Ninja Coffee Machine as it can brew a cup, half a carafe, or a full carafe, or over ice for an iced coffee. For this, I use the Aldi Sumatra ground beans, but occasionally the Bustillo brick.
At home, my husband bought me a fancy DeLongi Coffee and Espresso Maker (Magnifica?) It's...phenomenal. Life changing. Strong, creamy, fresh ground, delicious coffee at the push of a button. Has a milk frother attachment too for lattes and cappuccinos. Before we got this, we used to order Black Rifle by bulk, but it was way too bitter in the DeLongi. On a whim we tried the Costco French Roast Whole Beans, and it is fantastic. Won't go back. For us, the fancy coffee maker made a huge difference. A bit of a pain for households with more than 2 coffee drinkers as it makes it cup by cup (although you can adjust the cup size), so I keep a regular drip maker in storage for when we have company.
