Real Coffee drinkers!

Real coffee drinkers make a POT of coffee in the morning...not one cup at a time. Real coffee drinkers nurse that pot until around noon. We drink about two-thirds of the coffee and then go back for a warm up. Rarely do we drink an entire cup at one sitting. We carry it from random place to random place with us while we sip...it cools down...we refill/warm up and carry on! This cannot accomplished with the one shot wonder cups. 

Brewing a whole pot of coffee will fill the home with the delicious smell of morning coffee....without a coffee smelling candle! AND...you know what? A real piece of punkin' pie with the real cup of coffee is MUCH better than pumpkin flavored coffee. OR....a real chocolate brownie with your coffee is soooo much better than mocha flavored java. Even better...cook a pan of brownies while brewing a pot of coffee for the ultimate smell...and then eat that warm brownie with that freshly brewed coffee. It won't get much better than that! 

My brother and his sweet wife bought my mustache man and me a good ole' cheap Mr. Coffee coffee pot to use when we visit. Think they figured it might be cheaper than watch us go through dozens of their little creamer sized coffee shots each morning. But then...dadgummit...both of my daughters have succumbed to the one cup wonder craze. We're thinking we need our own traveling pot to take with us from now on. It's certainly not that we don't appreciate the efforts of our hosts. We do...we really do. We love them from the deepest place in our hearts...sigh...but clearly somewhere something is wrong. 

BUT...at least they have not fallen the way of Jim's brother and his wife (we love them from that same deep place)...they and even some of their kids now drink HOT TEA! It's just plumb embarrassing! If you live in Texas...you just can't put your pinkie in the air with those small dainty cups...folks get the wrong idea and think you're from England. 

Well...nuff said. No offense to anyone. I'm gonna go throw some cold coffee in the microwave and heat it up for one more sip before I make a new pot. :)
