In addition to water, a college student runs on caffeine.
As with soft drinks, buying coffee at the cafeteria or the on-campus coffee shop every day can get to be an expensive habit, and it's not always convenient when you have to get up first thing in the morning and rush to class, or when pulling late-night studying sessions in the dorm room.
The Black and Decker DCM18S Brew & Go is a personalized coffee brewer that takes up a very small amount of space in a dorm room and can be easily stowed.
It features a permanent coffee filter so there's no need to buy any supplies other than ground coffee and shelf-stable creamer, which you can ship to your freshman in care packages. It also comes with a 16oz thermal coffee mug for grabbing on the go.

Oh look! Overpriced garbage to go along with an overpriced degree
It can be said with a lot more detail, but it can't get any more succinct than that... especially when we have to compete worldwide, after the corporations were propped up by our tax dollars to be moved offshore...
about one word...
There are better gifts for students than this!
1. iTunes gift card so that they can get some new music to listen to while doing homework
2. Think Gum - a caffeinated gum that helps improve memory so that they will actually learn a little more
3. Some new flip-flops for the dorm showers so that they don't get a crazy foot infection from all of the other people that shower in there
4. Multivitamins - beer and cafeteria food will only provide part of the nutritional requirements we need
5. New headphones - these things always seem to break!
