Almost two years ago, my aunt bought me a “home” warming gift.  I had just moved into my first apartment and she knew EXACTLY what I needed: a coffee maker.  It was a very faithful coffee maker and made my coffee every day (sometimes multiple times a day).  I could program it the night before, so it would start brewing 5 minutes before my alarm clock went off.  It was such a pleasant experience to have coffee ready every morning when I got up.  On Tuesday, my home wasn’t scented with freshly brewed coffee when I got up.  I unplugged it, checked to make sure I had remembered to put water in it and that ground coffee was already in the filter.  After plugging it back in and hitting the on button, I started getting ready for my day.  When I came back to check on it, there was still no coffee.  Sadly, my faithful coffee make had given up the ghost.  :'(

Last night, my husband and I purchased a new coffee maker, complete with a “gourmet” setting!  Let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS coffee!  Maybe, it’s because my caffeine-drip-IV had been removed for a few days, but I’m hoping the fancy gourmet setting is true to its name.  Happy Friday Morning with COFFEE!!!
