    One word: Cuisinart Grind 'n Brew

    Ok, a couple words... but still.
    Every morning, dump in the beans, pour in the water, push the button.
    Even my wife can do it!

    But it only comes in 10 or 12 cups--weekends we use the BIG 14 cup Cuisinart. (twice a day, too!)

    Talking Re: What should it cost w/chemicals?

    So you guys get all wired up on the black juice for what??? Pool maintenance???
    hehe!
    We had a 26 hour power failure last fri/saturday - I was going to crank up the genny at 6 am saturday to brew a pot, then decided it might be more neighbour friendly (it hooks up 40 feet from their bedroom) if i just drove the 15 minutes to our closest Tim Horton's and got a couple of extra extra larges - total bill came to 3 bucks and 20 in gas!!!! Was worth it though, nothing like rippin up the unpaved backroads drifting through winding turns, windows down, sunroof open, favorite tunes cranked!

    Sure! What's your point??

    No, I'm not roasting my own beans...It's not like I have time or energy to do what I need now!

    There's also cold-extraction coffee--super-smooth, but uses far too much coffee for what you get.

    I mess with the coffee, my wife brains me! So I stick with a GOOD drip pot.

    Stay ahead of your coffee!
    Take 2 to 5 minutes every day for java maintenance!

    I take about that to develop it, but I take a lot more time than that drinking it!

    Oh, NO!....Richard would RUIN the coffee. Unlike pool care, GREAT coffee requires a little magic and secret rituals!

    No matter how closely she follows my steps, my wife INSISTS that the coffee is always better when I make it!

    Either I make great coffee, OR I'M BEING HAD!

    I heard somewhere if you put a little salt in with your grinds your coffee will be more mellow. Anyone heard the same?

    Trust me, you are being had! I use the same trick to get the significant other to brew the java even though I make a better pot! (Especially on Sunday morining when I want to read the paper and sip the brew!)
