I have never been a big coffee freak or snob. Never had a home coffee maker at home. Never was the guy who had to have half a pot of coffee before going to work. I did, however, like one or two cups after getting to work, then one or two more between lunch and quits. I wasn't nailed to a desk and spent most of my days on my feet moving about. Always had one large cup of coffee sitting at my desk that was usually several hours old.. and cold. I loved that stuff cold (room temp), with all the creamer and sugar it tasted like chocolate to me.
Then due to health conditions I quit coffee, any alcohol, and cigarettes all on the same day - cold turkey. That was about 16 years ago and except for coffee, I've never had the urge to restart any of those habits.. until this week.
Well, turns out coffee (caffeine specifically) is not really bad for my condition and I've had some strong cravings for some good tastin' coffee. Once or twice each year I do find myself in a waiting room at some establishment which has a K-Cup machine and I have gulped down two or three small cups on each occasion - I'm really impressed with the quality and taste from these machines and their K-Cup offerings. I didn't want to get a home coffee maker, nor did I want to get a K-Cup machine for home due to the relatively large expense of the machine. But now I can get a small single cup K-Cup machine for a reasonable amount (way less than $100) and it's looking very appealing.
So on my 'to get' list I now have a small single cup unit, along with a box of assorted K-Cups. I think its great I won't have to make a half or whole pot of mediocre coffee to get a single cup. I'll be able to slug down one cup a day of coffee that's way better tasting than anything I was slurping in my youth.
Hooray for progress.
