Comments on: Ever done anything stupid before your coffee?

I solved this by purchasing a “Home Cafe” system that brews a single cup at a time. I use for two separate problems. One, when I only have enough time for a cup, and it doesn’t make sense to make a whole pot. The second “problem solver” is that I make a cup this way for instant gratification and drink that while brewing a full pot.

I also encountered one additional problem, that perhaps doesn’t affect you. When grinding beans, I had to take into consideration whether I was going to wake anyone up with the grinding the beans. I had at times when my daughter was small to wrap the grinder in a towel in an effort to muffle the sound a bit.

Too much work. We set the coffee pot in the evening and it gets up before we do. There in nothing better in the world than not having to wait for your coffee. (I think there are pots you can buy that will wake up before you do, grind your beans, and then make the coffee, all before you wake up.)

well, I did try to mix chocolate in with the coffee beans in the grinder…

wife.imp has browbeaten me: Two cups of water per one scoop of beans (whole or ground)

LOL!!!! Hilarious… So funny but at the same time, somehow, I feel a bit of sadness over the possibility of a delayed cup of coffee. Every minute DOES count. Coffee is a vital part to any day…

I never do anything stupid with my instant coffee. Wait, once I forgot to heat up the water. Cold water and instant coffee just do not work well together.
