John,

I'm gonna...uh...do something violent next time I see you!

I ended up ordering the caraffe online from Mr. Coffee direct instead of buying a whole new coffee maker. The caraffe is reasonably priced. The shipping, however...isn't. If I had wanted 1-day shipping, it would have cost almost $70 for the thing. For 2-day shipping, it comes down to around $50. I'm hoping they erred on the side of caution when they said ground shipping ($28 for the purchase and shipping cost) would take 7-14 days. In the meantime, I'm still pouring water from a kettle into a sieve. It sucks.

And you, sir, are NOT HELPING!

So, is there coffee in the house yet?

And are you getting your RDA of calcium? :D

The Keurigs look nice, and part of me would love one (even though I drink coffee maybe once or twice a week, and then it's usually decaf), but all I can think about is the waste generated by all those little packets. I'll stick with my old fashioned 4 cup Mr. Coffee. For as little coffee as I drink at home, it works for me.

Chris,

I get why people like them, but I can't stand 'em. I prefer a pot of coffee and I hate all those little coffee packs. I suppose it makes more sense if you like flavored coffees and there are people in the house with different tastes, but GF and I like coffee...regular old coffee.

I'll also admit to a prejudice against the damned things from when they're on the craft service table. The only thing worse than having to wait in line behind a bunch of people brewing coffee one cup at a time is when the guy shows up who can't figure out how to work it and brings everything to a standstill.

Buy a Keurig. The wife gave me one for xmas and I'm still trying to figure out how I ever lived without the frakking thing.

I had a nice mug of lowfat chocolate milk this morning. How was your coffee?

:D

John,

I put up with your redneck ways and your guns and the weird things you think are food and all your other uber-conservative stuff...but no coffee? That' just batshit crazy and I'll have to banninate you if you spout any more of that nonsense.

:D

Or you can try the patented JTS method and go without coffee at all.

Chocolate milk is my wake-up beverage.

Yes, I annoy my wife, too. :D

Ah, but the cowboys had the smoored fire from the night before and just needed to toss a little new kindling on it.

The problem was those big-assed coffee pots they used. I bet that was some nasty coffee.

Just think how hard it was for cowboys in the Old West who (based on some movies and old magazine advertisements for coffee I've seen decorating the walls of coffee shop restrooms) had to build and start a fire to boil the water for their coffee.

It's a wonder the West was won at all.
