They’re not SCAA Certified, so they don’t get hot enough for actual proper extraction, they generally have a poopy blade grinder, and the grinder gets clogged with the condensation from the brewing. I used to have one of these. It was bad.

If you don’t care much about your coffee, go ahead and make it the night before. If you’re buying pre-ground, same.

This is a big deal in Argentina. Most restaurants you go to will sell Proveleta as an appetizer. It’s grilled provelone cheese + spice.

My dry cleaner uses garment films that are recyclable at store drop off points. I imagine this is growing more common, too.
