#TheWaitingIsTheHardestPart
They're not good if, like me, you wake up needing coffee NOW. This is the advantage of a machine with a thermos carafe - I set it up before bed when I'm still thinking reasonably clearly, and in the morning when I'm running on 3 cylinders, it's ready for me immediately. No grinding, no waiting for water to boil, no waiting for it to steep. Ready.
