OMG this entire conversation is hilarious.
Thank you for giving me a laugh, and try to take yourself too seriously, OK?

If you feel deprived of caffeine, you’re experiencing some level of addiction. The implication being that if you fall further into your addiction, you’ll start looking for a more potent fix–hence the metal filter. From there, you’ll eventually move on to French presses and vac-pots. Along the way, you’ll rationalize it by pointing out that the coffee tastes better all along the way.

Does that make me trollish? Maybe. But what of the truth? It is simply that you know little of the caffeine deprivation of which you claim to feel. Those that truly feel such deprivation move beyond paper filters and their ilk LONG before the time of day affects the balance of convenience vs. need-for-immediate-consumption equation.

After you allow yourself to be entirely consumed in the throes of addiction, you’ll reach the level of enlightenment I and others like me have reached: drip-pot coffee (especially that which is made with paper filters) tastes like poo. It’s not omniscience. It’s simply truth.

if you buy instant coffee you wont have to worry about filters, but you will have to worry about the stuff in your mug that tastes like liquid crap.
by the way i like the new word “MacGyvering”

Wow – I don’t know what to address first – the snobbery, the sweeping blanket statement about what a true addict cares about (who knew there were omniscient people on here!) or the fact that you seem to believe I’m an addict.
I’ll just say I felt this was a trollish remark and leave it to that. :=)

Apparently you also like terrible coffee. A true addict cares not for the environment, but strives to score a purer product. The metal filter helps.

Just buy instant coffee. Then you won’t have to worry about running out of coffee filters.

That’s not quite what ‘ironic’ means.

This is so ironic. I work at a Starbucks and definitely thought a lot about coffee filters when we ran out of them yesterday.

At least this one doesn’t look like a five year old made it up…
Btw hate the metal ones. And I am very ecological-minded. I compost as well as recycle. But they are horribly messy for my caffeine-deprived brain to deal with at 7 AM and I figure they waste as much pure water washing them out as resources used for a coffee filter (which goes in the compost bin also).

Yeah… I had to read the title about five times in an attempt to comprehend. I did not.

Where are the percentages? This clearly says “percentage distribution”…

Where’s the slice for “just ran out of tp”?

…or spend $3 on a metal filter and never have to worry about it again.
