Anyone here feel the pain? I don't mind buying in bulk so its not too bad but usually the recipes or quantity and size of things doesn't suit, and theres waste, which I hate. With ever increasing numbers of single households its not really working, bloody nooclear families.

Thoughts?

Yes recipes are a pain for singles. Leftovers, it's a reality singles must endure. I like keeping it simple at home. Extravagance for when I eat out or holidays. Some simple stove-top ideas, swordfish (or any fish) with a side of rice and asparagus. Chicken with boiled gold potato's and broccoli. Add some light garnishes like nuts, basil etc and dull tasting carrots can be sweeten with grade A pure maple syrup. Prepped fruits and salads are great. Quick and easy, and can last 3 plus days. Pasta is nice, left overs for lunch the next day. I usually spend 30 minutes a night making dinner. Which is nothing really. Then left overs for lunch the next day or evening if I'm busy.
Important tip. Be mindful when cooking and clean-up and you go along. You'll be left to enjoy the remainder of the evening carefree.

Oh to be single
I love my family, but when single I actually did clean as I went. Now a futile effort!

I thought a 12 ounce french press was coffee for one... That just looks like "one cup of coffee".

Digging into details, could it be that Dr. Drip, as a whole, is more of a waste than making 2 cups via percolator using bulk purchased grounds?
Like people who use disposable paper plates for every meal instead of long term use ceramics. Or even low impact recycleable plastics...which also get some level of disdain from me.

I use a 2 cup Bodum plunger most of the time, just drink both cups or fill it with less water...no problem there. Actually Once I've finished a few of these vacuum sealed bricks of ground am gong to start buying beans, can you still get hand grinders?
Yeah, have to get used to cleaning up as I go, I can divide a recipe by 4 or 2 but really I just eat all of it, got one of those metabolisms most people would kill for but think I'm pushing it.
Any product examples? I imagine most singles live in smaller places, anyone find sofas too big or anything like that?

hand coffee mill
Heath,
I like the Ulbaldo Piazza, pear-wood coffee mill for Alessi Twergi. It is discontinued, but I see them on eBay on an irregular basis and they are slow sellers. In other words they are low priced.
