A fresh cup every time
{ Posted on May 10 2009 by admin }
Why am I up this late when I should be resting and getting better? There’s only one reason, and it’s simple: caffeine. For mother’s day we decided to give my mom a Keurig coffee maker, which arrived a day early, and I must say that this thing is amazing! The package came with an assortment of single-cup “k-cups” of tea and coffee. The brand selection is pretty decent, and I would only imagine that it will continue to grow. I first tried a cup of Gloria Jean’s hazelnut coffee and a couple hours later decided to have some Celestial Seasonings mandarin orange herbal tea. And here I am. Thank you Keurig, and most of all thank you Andreas!
Didn’t he send you any decaf?!
That thing is amazing though. We definitely love ours! But I can’t believe I’m already starting to take it for granted…
he did send some decaf, but I wanted that uncompromisable experience, lol …
And in a parallel universe, somewhere in the Stone Age in the Wood of Tangles, we must manually dig out scoop after scoop after scoop after scoop of raw, dry, ground coffee from an unsanitary package–heaven knows what infectious microbes have snuck in along the way–and transmit these scoops over some distance to fill a paper filter. Then we employ raw, basic, imperfect human instincts to measure an amount of water equal to the aforementioned scoops and, guess whether the taste of the coffee will be right, and whether the amount of caffeine will be sufficient. If we are lucky, we will have guessed right…and we do somehow manage to get a perfect cup of coffee…at least every once in a great while. We wait in faith and anticipation of a better day to come when this almost unbearable era of constant toil and drudgery will come to a close…
Brian that comment is worthy of its own blog post, it was great!
