K-Cups. They might save you a grand total of a minute over loose grounds and a disposable paper filter, but they're more costly per cup and create more waste.
Might be less coffee but it's not just the coffee that's the waste; it's all the extra plastic that each one of those K-cups uses.
Plastic often lasts centuries (at least) to biodegrade and even then animals try to eat the waste and then die horribly.
