But be aware my fellow Korean coffee lovers (I believe that's where the flyer said they got it from) - I've been informed on another TJ's thread that I am an idiot and a moron for liking this. But hey at least there are two others like me. I seriously love that stuff as an occasional coffee treat.

We recently got one of those pour over filter coffee things, which is simpler than it sounds (and tastes better than via). All you need is the cone-shaped dripper, paper filters and ground coffee. As long as you have hot water, you can put the dripper directly onto your mug and pour yourself a fresh cup. Then just rinse the dripper, and throw out the paper filter and grounds when you're done.

I had a set like that a few years ago. It was a mug that came with a cone-shaped doohickey that went on top. Like PP said, you put in a paper filter and 1 to 2 tablespoons of grounds, pour over with hot water, and voila! Coffee! You can find the filters at any supermarket in the coffee aisle. Iirc, Melitta was the name of the brand I had.

Nescafe Classico or Nescafe Gold.

NOT taster's choice, which tastes like someone washed your dog's balls in it.

Mount Hagen Organic Coffee is delicious. I get in on S&S Amazon.

I think instant coffee tastes like ass. It also gives me way more caffeine jitters than better coffee does.

I keep a kettle and a one-cup french press in my office. Could you do that?

The Giant brand instant is better than the name brand they sell, whatever that was... Sanka? Taster's Choice? IDK, but it was gross.

Turkish. You can get it at any Middle Eastern grocery. Most of them should also have the little round-bellied single-serving pot, which costs like $5. (Instead of that, I use a side-handled butter warmer I got at Sur La Table, which works exactly the same way.)

Can you make coffee concentrate with a Toddy and bring in enough for your coffee each day? Or weekly?

NP. Do you heat the water on the stovetop, or use the microwave, or electric kettle....
