I french press my coffee. Takes 4-5 minutes once the water is boiling and I pour it over the coffee.

Keurig. Open top, put in k-cup, close, brew. 15 seconds.

Also, Keurig, marginally longer, since I use a refillable K Cup and my own coffee blends. I get superior coffee, that way too, for a lot less.

Today, I'm drinking Parry Estate Blue Mountain Coffee, grown in Kona rather than Jamaica. The Volcanic soil actually makes the Blue Mountain beans taste better.......something I didn't think was possible.

That sounds bombastic... I wasn't aware those machines could use self filled cartridges I may need to look into that. Mmm coffee to distract me while the temp goes up a couple degrees before my ride!

You addicts are too sick from caffeine withdrawal to do anything before your fix. You even admit as much.

i said after. you will note he is still alive. your point appears to be valid.

The next best thing to the above:
Trader Joe's Low Acid French Roast. Save the gut and still get a wire.

I use the Keurig with the K-cup that you fill with you own coffee. We only drink Decaf though.

decaf.... why not put some dirt in hot water and call it coffee instead?

So you don't really like coffee you just want the caffine??

My Flame Master Percolator does not go drip drip drip, needs no filter, and does not create a mass of little plastic cups... the 15 minute wait is worth it with most of that being the time it takes to bring the water to a boil.

It goes burp burp burp and quite a number of my friends have switched to perked coffee after enjoying mine... think they faded away because they do take longer to use and do require more attention to get the brew just right.

If I need something quicker or need less coffee I have a mocha pot and a French press.

Fast is overrated. Good coffee, with freshly roasted beans.....it's worth the wait. In fact, I skip breakfast often, but never my espresso.

But, if you do want fast, and low acid, try the aeropress.
