    We do the K-cup thingy now.
    Almost too easy. You know you've had too much when you're still vibrating at 9pm.

    "Everyone has gone back to brewing."
    Maybe because instant tastes like it's dried sludge?

    "A freash hot cup is always ready to be made, and this way I don't waste a half a pot, or have a pot go bitter before I get to it."
    My fresh hot cup is already made, yesterday's leftovers in the microwave. The key to keeping it fresh is keeping it cool, heat is what makes it turn swampy so I just turn off the heat. Why does BK coffee taste fresh when it comes out of a machine? There's a bag of concentrate in there, just add hot water. I guess the key is not removing all the water?

    "Our golden Egyptian chamomile has a delicate floral quality..."
    I too noticed the similarity to Massengill. There's this story of Tony, scallions, a hot date and emergency mouth wash but you don't want to hear it.

    Too much water. K-cup should be (imo) used to make a 2.5oz cup of coffee. Made to simulate the flavor of an espresso. I find that the Nespresso caps do this much better than Keurig.

    I'd give up coffee all together except my employer has some funny ideas about what time I come to work and drinking beer during working hours.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    I was kind of under the impression that your employer was cool with beer after 1pm.

    We get away with a little, but not in the quantities that I would prefer.

    There is a button for that on ours. I like the thing when I don't have time to sit and throw back a whole pot. Lynne (xyl) thought I was crazy for keeping the brewer and the grinder sitting on the counter when she bought the thing. We do both. It's all about time, and if you do it right, saves those tightass hambucks.

    Personally I like the liquid concentrate caps. That shit will knock your dick in the dirt. However, nothing beats a caffe style coffee from Italy. The Spanish do come damn close. Its no wonder they laugh at our espresso shops. Lets exclude starbucks..thats burnt horseshit. =P

    That being said, whereas my favorite thing to order is a caffe con leche (latte), I can not resist a good ole fashion caffe Americano. Heh, Pilar calls this dirty sock water. She grew fond of panera bread while here because she does not like filtered coffee. I suppose having grown up on it, I just cant shake it. Not that I really have a desire to. Thank god mum enjoys English coffee and brews at home. (I dont see any difference between English coffee and our own. Both water filtered ground.)

    If there is one thing I despise more than instant it is Turkish coffee. Just an aside.
