Forced to drink bad coffee...no. Needed to drink bad coffee just for the caffeine...yes. There are usually other beverage options; water, pop, juice. If you want good coffee you need to make it yourself.

True, there are other alternatives. The last time I was on a long roadtrip, I drank a can of cola for the first time in several months for the boost, since I knew that I wouldn't like the coffee. The soda was more palatable, but way to sticky sweet for my tastes.

Also bad coffee.

Look at it this way, at least it was only "2 k-cups" and not 2K cups

Lots of splenda and milk were involved. I grimaced through the whole half-cup I drank each time. I'm so ashamed I stooped so low.

Fortunately, the owner of the vacation house where we stayed is sending my grinder to me! She will definitely receive an A+ review once it's returned in working order!

True, unfortunately, I'm pretty lazy and never carry change. So instead of a chemical laden Diet Coke from 5 floors down, I've subjected myself to this liquescent flagellation.

Hopefully, I'll have my grinder returned to me next week, and I can resume deciding between pour over or press each day. Maybe I'll even talk my wife into "surprising" me with an Aeropress or a Clever.

My mother in law. You can't say no to her or you'll hurt her feelings and then I'll have to sleep on the sofa.

But luckily her food and dessert are so awful that the coffee tastes good in comparison.

I bring my coffee and brewing gear when we go to the in-laws, and separately brew decaf for my MIL. They look forward to the coffee, though sometimes space is tight in the kitchen trying to make a little brew corner.
