Hello ZeesKite,
I appreciate your homage to coffee…few worldly things have inspired such gratitude in my heart! I developed the taste for it about 13 years ago during my first year of law school, and at first I put up with the taste to reap the benefits. Fast forward 13 years, and I go out of my way to drink decaf in the evening even when I don’t want all that caffeine — because now I just LOVE the taste!
Should you decide to venture into brewing territory, you might be interested in activating the function that some coffee pots have to start brewing at a certain time of day. That way, you can add the requisite coffee scoops and water at night or some other time when you’re more alert than at the crack of dawn. The resultant quality is worth it!!
