With a normal espresso maker, you measure out the coffee grounds (gunpowder), pour them into the chamber, tamp them down, then pull the trigger/make the coffee.

With a K-cup, you just put in a capsule and fire away.

        No. “Black rifle” is an umbrella term loosely referring to modern, lightweight, polymer or aluminum-frame rifles that became common starting around the 1960s.

        Sources differ, but some sources claim it’s a reference to the name the Vietnamese gave the M16 during the Vietnam War, which translates literally back into English as “black rifle”. It’s worth noting that none of the sources I could find which make this claim provide the original, Vietnamese name.
