Never liked coffee (Score:5, Informative)
Ever since I was a teenager people around me have kept telling me "You'll grow to like it". Well, I'm 30 now and I still don't like coffee. I've come to enjoy a lot of foods and beverages that are considered acquired tastes but never coffee.

Cannot break .... no idea (was using my parent one, lost one, was given an old one, had to change the filter 4 years later)
You d buy maybe 2-3 in your life cause you lost it, gave it to somone, or it felt from the 4th stair.
Almost no consumable to use, need to change the rubber filter every
Can be used on campfire
Make excelent coffee
Very cheap (10-30€)
Using a mini coffee grinder (the size of a glass, cost 30€) to grind illy coffee bought at the supermaket.
For me, the only viable alternative is a second hand expresso machine from a bar.

Not true any longer. Mountain Dew now does have caffeine in Canada, though they still have the non-caffeinated version available too.
It used to be that they could only put caffeine in a cola (any dark drink like Barqs, Dr. Perrer, Pepsi/Coke, etc), and not in any other soft drink. However, I think the rules ended up being relaxed because of all of the energy drinks and such.

Re:Moka pot vs. Aero Press (Score:2, Informative)
A moka pot is a sort of cheap home substitute for a real espresso maker. I've used them, but they tend to leak and work inconsistently, and now I've got a ceramic-top stove which they don't work on. The AeroPress makes just about as good coffee and is a lot more consistent and easier to clean.

Re:Still Boycotting Nestle' (Score:2, Informative)
Nestle doesn't care about the health of babies one way or another. They just want to make as much money as possible. If a few babies die it really doesn't matter so long as it doesn't affect the bottom line. If no babies die it doesn't matter to them either, again so long as it doesn't affect the bottom line.
Nestle gave piles of free samples to doctors around the world probably in countries where they shouldn't have. In fact, they tried to "steer" the market so bad, and apparently didn't stop even as mounting evidence indicated what was happening, that the World Health Organization actually had to step in and set up regulations regarding marketing breast milk substitutes.
Did Nestle intentionally want to kill people? Probably not. Is Nestle an evil company? Probably so.

Get better coffee, also get a french press and pour it at less then two minutes. The best thing about french presses is the ability to time the level of bitter you like.
Also note: 'American' can coffee went through 50 years of race to the bottom. In 1950 it had mostly Arabica beans, by 1970 it was 99% Robusta (awful). The people that lived this race got acclimated, boiling frog style. They can't even taste how awful it is.
