I like coffee in just about any incarnation. The smell of it reminds me of my dad and growing up in the bay area, and the sun in the kitchen where my german shepherd used to sleep.
I'll drink drip, percolated, pressed, diner, specialty. Doesn't matter.
Last year my husband decided that my brewing 12 cups in the percolator was "wasting" coffee (Uh, HELLO iced coffee) so he started looking at the one shot devices. We borrowed his mother's Phillips pod brewer. The thing never stopped smelling like melted plastic and hot electronic elements.
I researched other brewers and we got a Keurig at BJs Club for $139.99. It came with a selection of coffees to try as well as a little device to pack your own coffee and brew.
So, I was in W*****t two days ago and picked up a box of coffee because we were running low. They had a brand I hadn't seen before, Grove Square, it was $2 cheaper than our usual Gloria Jeans or Green Mountain, so I figured we'd give it a shot.
Ever drink Taster's Choice Instant? Yup, you guessed it, 50 cents per cup for instant coffee to be brewed in my "instant" coffee maker.
I am not amused.
