Do people really make individual cups of drip coffee? Drip coffee is perfect to make a pot with as many cups as you want.

And while the coffee is dripping, you can go do something else!

I do, yes.

For ultimately path-dependent reasons. In my storage unit, I have a Chemex, burr grinder, and thermos, so when I want drip I tend to make a 'pot'.

I was nomadic for a couple of years, and brought along a hand grinder and a Hario V60 O1. Despite being "sedentary" for almost a year and a half, this is still how I make coffee: I've been reluctant to duplicate my entire kitchen, and never got around to shipping everything I own across the ocean.

Which turns out to be a good thing, since I'm heading back to the mainland. But yeah, definitely make individual cups of drip!

I make one mug of drip coffee at a time. Know exactly how much water to put in to avoid any waste.

Some people may want to limit their caffeine intake. Why make more coffee than you're going to drink?
