With a normal espresso maker, you measure out the coffee grounds (gunpowder), pour them into the chamber, tamp them down, then pull the trigger/make the coffee.

With a K-cup, you just put in a capsule and fire away.

    Lmao. Not bad, actually. To put a finer point on it, I’d say Keurigs are a Springfield Model 1873. It’s a trapdoor, breech-loading rifle, among the earliest rifles to utilize a cartridge.

    The Native Americans developed a (VERY effective) strategy or drawing out a volley of musket fire, then charging in while everyone was reloading. This rifle invalidated that strategy.
