The Coffee House

[minicoop1985]

I have one on my MotoX.

There's a Keurig machine at the new job. I bought a box of Starbucks Sumatra. The coffee is good; I'm just not a big fan of the Keurig machines. It makes coffee a bit more watery than I'm used to and I drink it black, so at least I don't have to worry about bringing in milk.

We have a new Keurig 2.o machine, which can make a carafe at at time. It has an option on the touch screen for "strong," which might help with the watery coffee.

Have you had issues with using non-Keurig cups?

Finished and posted The Peace March.

Well, tonight should be interesting. Gonna do some wine and a movie with the wife after the kid goes to bed.

Happy Valentine's Day!


yes, I posted a new thread for this for those that don't drop by here.

Bah, humbug! I'm a Valentine's Day Scrooge.

OK . . . happy "Middle of February, so Warmer Weather is on the Way" day!

Actually, one of the bar/restaurants here is having an "Anti-Valentine's Day"

we just had a blizzard hit with temps in the -25 range ....
not exactly warmer weather. I was much warmer in December

I mowed the front and wore little boy shorts all day.

We had a very light dusting of snow that lasted about 15 minutes. It has been very windy over the past couple of days, though.

LOL!!!!!!!!

We had a dusting here too, which turned into drifts. It's just too damned cold out there now, with a low of -11 tonight. Should have bought more supplies and crap. I'm so sick of these near and below zero temps...

Haven't tried them yet. I've thought about getting one and I still might, but the issue with that might be having to keep ground coffee at work and even in an air-tight container, it'll probably get stale-ish and end up tasting just like the pre-filled cups anyway! I could just grind some each morning to bring with me, but that's one more task to do in the morning, and I already rush around as it is. I'd forget half the time. I might just stick to the pre-filled cups.

Yours sounds much fancier than the ones I have access to, but I can at least control how much water is used for a cup, so I've managed to make it stronger the way I like it. IT'll never be as good as the stuff I make at home in my French press, but it'll do for keeping me awake at work

Snow. We got a few inches here - nothing bad enough to keep me from having dinner with Buzz

The cold really doesn't bother me that much. I do get tired of worrying about driving in snow, but otherwise, the biggest complaint I have about February is that everyone around me is so negative. It's already hard to hear negative things about something I like, but more than that, I tend to absorb whatever energy is in the room, so it makes me feel bad and lonely when everyone else is miserable. Sometimes this ruins it all for me just a little. Plus, it is getting closer to spring, which just means that summer is next, and I despise summer with the same exact intensity as some of you who hate winter.

I feel bad for you North Easty-types....all those negative temps, snow, etc.. Out here on the left coast the weathr has been wonderful. Unseasonably warm. A Facebook friend who works as a snow-cat groomer for the sking area at Mt. Hood Meadows is posting daily IG pics with the hashtag #prayingforsnow....even on Oregon's highest volcanic peak, Mt. Hood, we have very little snow...the trees are already budding now...meanwhile, y'all are freezing nuts off...Bwah-hahh-hahhh!
