When I first crawl out of bed, I'm operating in serious fog. Don't trust me to make the coffee. Therefore I was delighted to find a coffee maker that I could set up to go off every morning -- five minutes before I crawl out of bed. Walk up to the coffee pot and the coffee has already been brewed for me, no wait, no fuss. It's a convoluted procedure to make it do that but once it's set up, setting it up the for the next morning is a breeze -- especially after I've drunk the coffee.
Major problem: we don't have a stable electric grid. Get up in the morning and find the electric clocks are blinking because in the middle of the night, the power blinked.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I am much like you in the morning...I have used a programmable coffee pot for years. The only downside is the weekend when I have no idea when I will be waking, but then the upside of the weekend is not needing to be up at the asscrack of dawn. It sure does go a long way toward helping me get through the work week a.m. fog. One of the best things ever created.

I refuse to buy a one cup coffee machine
.
One cup coffee machines and their plastic cups are a major source of waste.
@Theresa_N i agree all those little plastic things
@Theresa_N, @WonderWartHog99 hers makes a whole pot
@whiskywoman I hesitate to calculate how much money my espresso machine has saved me over a visit to Starbucks, order one ounce at a time until I get an eight ounce coffee mug's worth.
@WonderWartHog99 I don't get the starbucks thing at all in fact I don't drink coffee it smells so good brewing and tastes like hot nasty no matter what I add to help ug
@whiskywoman Starbucks has other beverages and snacks.
The larger deal is like a pub, the point is to meet other people or possibly use their internet to catch up on work.
@WonderWartHog99 for an exorbitant price
@whiskywoman Unless you slug down three fancy Dan coffees per visit and order the pastries, it's under $10 a for a typical visit. Comes with comfortable furniture. No worse than a pig out at McDonald's.
McDonald's designers uses color schemes and furniture that tells their customers to eat quickly and leave. The original McDonald's didn't have a dinning room.
@WonderWartHog99 many think the way you do so it works and I remember mc d way back
@whiskywoman On the whole people are snobbish about eating at Mc D's. They do it. They don't want to admit it. That's why the drive through window is always busy.

Posted by Reason-AbleI’m 54 and bored. I needed a project and decided to buy a truck and make it my project. I’ve been adding little mods to it every weekend. Any other vehicle enthusiasts in the group?

Posted by flower_nutMy mother's best friend worked for the local newspaper and decided to dress me as a leprechaun and use it for Saint Patrick's Day. I was a smiling leprechaun, whatever that was?
