Weekend Coffee

[JL21]

There are very few things in this world better than the first cup of coffee on a weekend morning.

Right now, I'm rockin' a huge mug full of Tully's out of the Keurig and could not be happier with my beverage choice. The only way it could be any better is if it was a fall morning with a little chill in the air.

My wife is very frugal and rarely does impulse buys, but one day she just randomly comes home with one of those KCup coffee machines. Those things are great. Kind of expensive, but I only use it on the weekend because my health club has great coffee and I grab a mug there through the week.

I got one for Christmas. If my house ever lit on fire, it'd be the first thing I'd grab.

Nespresso machine ftw. We wouldn't have survived the newborn months without it.

They're great, but I'm kind of a mass consumer of the java so I still like making a whole pot and not mini brewing my own cup each time. We have the kcup thing at work and I feel gluttonous going through so many.

Speaking truth to power. We picked it up thinking we'd also be saving on the daily coffee shop runs, but now we just make more and more espresso.

We have the filter thingy where you can put regular coffee in it, not that we ever use it much. You just pack it full of regular coffee and brew. But it seems wrong putting regular coffee in, so when I have used it it's when we have some good coffee beans that I grind fresh and put in.

The biggest design flaw is that it doesn't tell you you need more water until it starts to brew. Pisses me off to no end to hit brew and then that [expletive] n' light starts blinking. Why didn't it start blinking before I hit the brew? I know - because maybe the small/medium cups had enough water, but c'mon man - who is brewing those?

We use the Grind n' Brew coffee maker at home and fresh grind our beans. Put it on timer and it's ready when you walk out the door.

I'm also pro-Nespresso but don't own one.

We have a five cup Black and Decker pot of fair trade organic Trader Joe's joe every morning.
