If you want some seriously bad ass cocoa powder, then look no further.

True. But often, if you brew bellow a certain amount in a drip machine, the results won't be as good. Generally because the water isn't "exposed" to the grounds long enough due to the shape of the filter basket.

Then close the door and start the brewing. The grounds will have have dampened slightly, and the hot water coming in from the top as the coffee machine runs won't drill straight down. You get better, more strongly flavored drip coffee.

Even without an AeroPress (which is what I use multiple times a day), even a cheap coffee maker should have a "1 Cup" button. I have a cheap Krups for making coffee in volume when we have people over, and even that has a dedicated "1-3" button for when you're just making enough coffee for yourself.

Hell No!!! Not only is it way overpriced, but a medium size cat eats the fruit and poops out the bean at the other end. Why in Hell would anyone even drink that that?

I'm told the civet is a finicky critter that only eats the best coffee cherries on the bush. Then the acids and enzymes in their G.I. tract, having stripped away the cherry flesh for digestion, have a pleasant effect on the seed's character.
