Aaahahahannyyyway, I was in the store looking for a few non-specific items. And I was in the tea/coffee aisle and saw the most ingenious contraption ever:

Sooooo, ANYWAY, I was at the store and glanced to my right and saw these little guys. And I was like that is such a great idea. Instead of making one pot of coffee just for myself I can make a cup at a time. It was $3 at Kroger. I bought one.
And even though it's 6:00 at night and it was probably a really dumb idea, I just made myself a little test cup of coffee. I heated up some water in the microwave for two and half minutes. While that was going I threw 2.5 tablespoons of coffee into one of the included filters, set the filter into the plastic filter holder thingy, and put that on top of a mug. In 2.5 minutes I poured the steaming hot water over the ground coffee very very slowly, in batches. Then I added cream and sugar.
Y'all. This cup of coffee is excellent. Granted, I used Green Mountain coffee which is great to begin with, and we all know that coffee is a very personal thing. I like my coffee really strong but I don't like it to be too burnt or acidic tasting. For winging it on measurements and stuff, I am really impressed. Now I just have to stop drinking it so that I sleep tonight!
SPEAKING of smart ideas, I'm sure you've seen the new design for the NYC condom wrappers. This was such a great idea I was totally blown away. I can think of at least 4 different ways the international power switch button is the perfect symbol to put on a condom. BRILLIANT!
