Coffee

Saturday, August 9th, 2003

It's taken me the better part of a pound of coffee to figure out how exactly to brew coffee maker in my new Santos Vacuum deal. Bottom line, it does make good coffee - but you need to: 1) Use a lot of grounds. 2) Use fine grounds. The instructions recommend 1 scoop of ...

I made more coffee yesterday then I ever have in my life. Non-stop grinding, filling, brewing, pouring, drinking, mmm... I love coffee. We had the annual Christmas dinner (a bit belated, but that's ok) last night at my place (unusual, but again, that's ok). We had some of our closest relatives ...

You know it's Christmas season when you hit the local Best Buy and you're fighting for parking with someone destined for the mall across the street. It's that time again... You know what I did yesterday? If you just said something at your monitor, then shame on you. You know I couldn't ...
