The 50-cents-a-cup coffee machine was busted today. I thought I was gonna die. I still didn't have the nerve to use the mysterious coffeemaker that lives on the counter, and I was desperate. What to do, what to do?

My ingenious resourcefulness saved the situation: I "borrowed" a coffee filter from mysterious-coffeemaker, grabbed a single-serve foil packet (Sumatran blend, the strongest coffee of all!) that goes with the 50-cents machine, and stuffed the filter into a paper cup. I tore open the foil with my teeth and emptied the grounds into the filter. Then I took my nail clipper, poked a hole in the bottom of the cup, and fit the whole deal into another paper cup. Then I heated some water in the microwave and poured it into the first cup. I held the first cup up and let the coffee drip into the second cup. My very own one-cup dripper! And disposable!

I think I'll just start bringing my real one-cup dripper in with me and save myself the 50 cents a cup that way.
