Sure, it's good coffee. Sure, these little capsules are neat. But at the end of the day, it's still just coffee. Delicious, life-giving, nectar-of-the-gods coffee. Nothing to get too excited about. No seriously. Stop getting so excited. No, I would not recommend that you just pop one open and shot-gun it right ... well OK then. Satisfied? Here. Chase it with a hot cup of water.
