New Coffeemaker
Disclaimer: I have absolutely not one cent invested in this company
and no reason to promote it other than to say...
Am I the last person on the planet to learn of the Keurig
coffeemaker?? This thing is *brilliant* It brews single cup coffee so
you get a fresh cup of coffee every time, you can have a half dozen
flavors/types of coffee over the course of the day, you don't need
running water to clean the thing out (okay, the k-cups ain't cheap,
but...) and the DH and I (and the boss and I) don't have to
figuratively arm wrestle as to who gets their choice of coffee that
day. Well, actually, I don't drink much coffee-coffee, but I do like
mochas, tea and hot chocolate, all of which this little beauty can
produce both before and after the DH (and the boss) have made their
coffee-coffee. It even does a fairly acceptable espresso (no crema,
but pretty tasty, anyway).
First bought one for the office. We don't have running water and
cleaning out the coffee pot meant using the building's restroom sinks,
which just grossed me out. We do have a water cooler, so this gizmo is
just the ticket for the office. When I talked it up to the DH, he
buzzed around to my office to try it out, then immediately ordered one
for home. He's now ordered another one for his office. He's the only
one in his office who drinks coffee, but says that after 2 hours, you
may as well throw it out. His (law) partner and her trustee's
assistant both like hot cocoa, so we seem to have a winner here, too.
This is just too cool for school!
The downside: all 3 of us now drink about 200% more coffee-coffee,
mochas, tea and hot chocolate than *ever* before. The upside: we are
very, very alert!
