How is using a good old coffee maker with beans a waste of time? You're getting better coffee and you're only spending a minute on brewing.

Well part of the problem is the claim about better.

Craft beers are superior to generic domestic lite beers, right? No, it's strictly subjective to every individual's preference.

I've known some people that prefer cheap or generic coffee, made in a clunky old coffee pot, slightly burnt. Is their taste wrong / worse / inferior? It can't be, it's their taste.

Well if taste is your only metric, we can probably conclude that perception is _less_ objective than one which factors in freshness of beans (oxidation), amount of mycotoxins, waste, etc.
