Grab your favorite K-Cup. Peel off the foil lid completely. Don’t be lazy and leave a flap—hot water will explode in your face. I’m not exaggerating. Well, maybe a little.
Pop that pod into the slot. Close the handle firmly. It should click shut with a satisfying thunk. If it fights you, check the pod isn’t upside down. Yes, people do that.
