I had a small nespresso as a student and I liked it. Capsules are relatively expensive, especially if you don't want it to taste like shit.

Preground coffee or even pads are definitely cheaper, less convenient though. And fresh ground coffee is something completely different, but way less convenient.

Another hammock gamer! Being able to work on my steam backlog while in the hammock is literally a game changer.

Gone is the decision between gaming and getting sun - I'm doing both, on my balcony. I love it.

It depends. I bought a good but not really fast hand grinder (commandante c40) and despite myself being lazy I really like it for single person pour overs, which I do most of the time since my SO doesn't drink coffee. However, when I have guests and need to grind a bigger dose (>30g), I get a little bit annoyed at how much work it is. So I'd probably recommend getting an electric grinder if you do those portions all the time.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I guessed, but I wasn't sure. Maybe I'll just try it.
