When I was an expat in Japan, I was quite taken with the design of the single serve pour over coffee packets that were sold nearly everywhere. Each packet contained a folded origami filter that was itself filled with ready to brew ground coffee. So to make pour over coffee, all you had to do was unfold the filter, place it over a single cup, and pour some boiling water over it. That’s it — no other equipment required, not even a pour over cone! Far better tasting than instant, although it generated a bit more waste. Granted, it assumes the presence of an electric kettle, but nearly every household has one of those. Here’s a video of one in use to better illustrate the concept: https://youtu.be/Q1nkDoNcMRc https://youtu.be/Q1nkDoNcMRc
