A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Y'all Ever Get Like This?

OMG, I am so impatient this morning, tapping my foot, waiting for the coffee to get done. This is one of those mornings I could eat the grinds right out of the can.

Lots of days I get up and putter around for a long time before I even think about getting to the coffee pot. Then I think "gee, I've been up two hours, I should make some coffee and get my day started for real".

And then there are days like today... where IS the coffee? Why is this pot taking so long? Do I need a new one? A century has gone by and it is only half full! *checks watch* *eyeballs pot with suspicion* *gazes longingly at the empty cup*



Anybody else ever have a "where's the coffee kind of morning?"

Merme

I used to Merme until I got a coffee pot that I can set up every evening, so it's ready and hot when I get up,
but there are evenings that I forget to push the Auto button so I have to start it after I get up, poor me
Those coffee makers are really cheap tho,, I think mine was 30$,,

Merme *relief at last*

My girl doesn't always pay attention in the store.

Today she brought home a bag of whole coffee beans and opened it before she realized. I do not have a grinder.

We threw it in the blender but it didn't really make it fine enough for a drip pot. Time to dig out my French Press.

What a day to have this happen!


Merme

Valarie bought us a programable coffeepot as a house warming gift. Rod says that he does not know how "he" ever got along without it.

it's only downfall is the warmer only stays on for 2 hours. so unless I get up wi th Rod, I have to MW my coffee.

Merme you need to buy yourself some coffee singles to have for emergency days like today was. some hot water and a cup and you are set !!! They are "coffee bags", and work just as tea bags do.

I think Folgers makes them.

Carol Jean- I have a pot like that and if Rod hits the off and on again it will reset for 2 hours from when he does it- works well for us on days I don't have to get up as early as Joe.... LOL!
I have to have my one cup of coffee in the morning as soon as I get up too... well usually I do - tomorrow I am forgoing it cause I go for a blood pressure check and I hope it is down .... meds have to do something .... right?
Well I am still feeling kind of punky so am going to go make dinner and then settle down to watch LOST....

thanks, Sheri. I "HAVE" done that before, but I was worried that I was doing something wrong & so I dont do it often. So thanks for sharing.

I guess when I'm in a mood like I was the other day, brewed coffee when I awoke wouldn't be fast enough! I'd still have to pour it and take a sip. When I'm in a mood like that, coffee through an IV would probably please me best!

naw, Merme---no IV---you want to taste it, right????

I know I do...

glad I could make you laugh--or more.....
