When we moved to the new apartment, one of the things I gave up was my coffee pot. I hadn’t used it in quite some time. Pete doesn’t drink coffee, and working right next to Starbucks at the time, I certainly didn’t need to be brewing entire pots of it at home just for me.
The convenience of a coffee shop in our apartment complex was an added bonus. On my days off I still had easy access to caffeine. When I changed jobs, I became a regular downstairs getting my soy latte every morning before work. The true downfall to this shop though, was my debit card use. I don’t carry cash and they only take cash. Inconvenient.
About a month ago, we hired my coffee shop girl :) No one was opening 15 minutes early so I could get my coffee before leaving for work. I had to find a new place to go. I experimented with a few shops, but not having my coffee first things was not fun with an hour drive to work. I know…I am an addict.
A few weeks ago, I met with a bride. We were helping her figure out her “theme” for her wedding. After dinner, she offered us coffee. She was very excited about her new coffee maker and not only gave me a full sales pitch but demonstrated rather than just making me a cup.
Two days later, I had to buy one for myself. I have paid for one cup of coffee since. It haven’t had it too long. But it is awesome! A single serving pre-packed with a little mini paper filter built right in. It filters the water for me, and even has a metal filter that I can put my own coffee or tea into. Rather than boil some water on the stove and wait for a cup of tea to steep, I cut open a tea bag, dump it into the filter and brew. I have a perfect cup in under a minute. This morning, Pete made me my coffee. It was awesome :)
So, if you are looking for a coffee maker and only need one cup. Or even need some forced moderation…check them out. Keurig makes a few different models. We bought the one with the built in water filter (Phialdelphia water needs it).
Check them out. It is pretty sweet!
