Soon after that I remembered, "Oh my! I'm poor!"
Too poor to buy a coffee pot for sure, but also definitely too poor to stop at a coffee shack on the way to the bus stop every day.
Hot coffee in a thermos is high on the list of important things to have on cold, early mornings. Seriously, it makes getting sprayed by road mist a little more tolerable.
Also, it helps me remember little things. Like to put deodorant on. Or to put my shoes on the right feet. (yep.)
This morning after a wrong-foot-slipper-mix-up and nearly falling asleep on the bus, I decided that something had to be done. I asked Kelly, one of the managers who works upstairs if we had any "really super cheap" coffee pots. And guess what??!
I brought home this beautiful little baby today. A discontinued model. $7.99. Plus it was the floor model. Another 20% off. Plus my employee discount. Another 15%.
About $5.50.
I'm drinking a cup of yummy coffee right now. With my dinner. Of ramen noodles.
:-D

What is your preferred brand of coffee? I have never bought any before, but I may soon. And how do you know how to make it? Mine always comes out strong. And do you use fresh grinds with every pot or re-use?
Thank you for your time.
I haven't perfected it yet, but it's somewhere close to one heaping scoop per two cups (so a full 12 cup pot would mean 6 scoops of coffee.)
I also have not yet experimented with re-use. Best to not mess with these things at the beginning stages of such an experiment.
I'm lucking out- a work friend also works at Starbucks and is sharing her free pound of coffee a week. Also I have a friend here who has his own roasting company. It's easy to find good coffee when you live in the coffee capitol of the world. As far as getting coffee at the grocery store goes, I'm not really sure. I've heard people like dunkin donuts.
