Dr. Drip Single Serve Coffee

Admittedly, I'm a coffee fiend, and by golly it's been rough (mostly) forgoing that magical elixir while nursing baby Jude.  I'm not sure it really affects him, but I don't want to take my chances.

Though it is rough to stand by and watch Chris enjoy an entire cup in the mornings, I have found some coffee pleasure in decaf.  In addition to my new-found coffeehouse drink, The Decaf Americano, I recently got to try out some easy-to-brew Decaf Energizer coffee from Dr. Drip Coffee.

It's a unique concept, which is both convenient and earth-friendly.  All the packaging is compostable, biodegradable or recyclable, and within each small packet lies one perfect cup of coffee.

Here's how it works: You open the package and tear off the top tab of the filter.

Then you pop open the cardboard filter to make a little basket for the water to fill up the grounds

 Prop the filter over your favorite or not-so-favorite mug

Then pour boiling water over the grounds, being careful not to fill it to quickly.

Once the water drips through, you're ready to enjoy your joe.

 Delicious!  Even for decaf. 

Dr. Drip's single serve coffee packets are great for taking along with you (like to my parents', the house of freeze dried coffee, ick!) or for keeping in the pantry for when you just want one cup.

My only qualm with the product was the lack of any photographic representation of what the brewing contraption looks like on the package.  When I was contacted about the product, my first response was "what the heck is it?".  Though I was able to find a video on their website which explained how it worked.

Now that I've tried it, I'm impressed and would like to buy more in the future.  Hopefully Dr. Drip will eventually make its way into stores, since the cost of one box plus shipping is nearly fifteen bucks, a bit of a splurge even for my beloved coffee.  But it's worth it for a superior brew on the go.
