As a coffee lover through and through, I live on this wonderful beverage that tastes great and powers me through my day. Sometimes it’ll be late in the afternoon and I want an extra cup as a pick-me-up or to go with dinner, but I don’t want to make an entirely new pot. Have you ever wished you could make just one cup at a time? Well, lucky for you, the doctor is in – Dr. Drip, that is!
Dr. Drip is a unique brand of single serve coffee that requires no special equipment – just your cup and a kettle. Each serving of Dr. Drip Coffee comes packaged in a cardboard stand with a built-in filter. You unfold the cardboard stand and place it on top of your coffee cup, like so:
This is an extra-big coffee cup, but it still managed to fit. Once the filter is in place, you pour boiling water through the top, let it sit for 20-30 seconds, and add more as desired. This mug of mine is so large that it holds 1/3 of a coffee pot (!), so I had to pour the water through quite a few times to fill it. Most people use smaller cups than this, so I think it would usually be faster to make a mug.
As for the coffee itself? Delicious! As I was pulling the filter off to throw it away, my hand slipped and I accidentally dumped some of the coffee grounds into my cup – I was afraid that I’d ruined it, but it tasted great anyway! I think this method of disposable single-serve brewing is really quite ingenious. It would be ideal for traveling, dorm rooms, serving to guests, and any time you want to enjoy a cup of coffee without brewing an entire pot.

much cleaner and easier than my Keurig !
I love this! I even have the kettle so this would be so easy to use. I’m always looking for a pick me up in the afternoon and I never want to make a new pot either, so I usually reach for a soda. I think I’m going to have to try these!
Perfect for camping! What a great idea!
That is a neat idea! I thought a machine to make just one cup was a bit much – this is so simple!
I love how simple this is, don’t even need the machine! Which is good since mine broke. Thanks for sharing!
This would be GREAT to take with you camping!
Interesting! It would be great for travel I think. All you would need is your cup and hot water.
Simple and cool! I should get this for my husband

I have never seen these before but like Hanan said, it is perfect for camping! I like that you don’t have to brew a whole pot just for a cup of coffee (even if it is a large mug like you have!)
