Maybe it’s just me..,

Has anyone ever been too tired to make the coffee right?  We have two coffee makers.  
 

Mine’s from Germany and it grinds, presses the beans and shoots the water through with 240V of amazingness.  Perfect coffee.  Delish.  

 

Mrs. P. prefers the k-cup type, with her own grounds in a little refillable bucket.  Yesterday making her coffee, I put the water in, filled her cup, put it in the machine, turned it on and walked away.  While I was in the living room, she asked me what I did.  More like “What did you do!!?”  “What do you mean?  I don’t know.”  I walk into the kitchen and see a counter full of coffee and her cup next to the coffee maker!

I drink whatever Mrs. Sylvan makes. She's the coffee aficionado... I just drink it and give thanks...

Other way 'round here. 

People think I'm kidding when I say the BBT does 99% of the food & drink prep. 

Nope. 

 

I have ONE peoples nourishing responsibility. 

 

Coffee.

You're not alone Kevin. We use the k cups but with the one use thingys. My usual routine is get up, let the dog(s) out, start up a cup and go to my computer room. In a couple minutes I go back out to get my coffee. This morning I went back out and cleaned up a counter full of coffee. Fortunate about 99% stays on the counter and none goes down the front into the drawers. But I knew that already.

I have an older single brew Keurig with a mug sensor so it will not start brewing without a mug in place. My wife got it for me for Christmas years ago. I am sure she got this model to prevent me from having to clean up buckets of coffee.

And here I thought my wife was the only person in the world with that talent.       I drink tea so my mornings tend to be uneventful.

We had a couple coffee floods at our VRBO beach house last week.      Seems the lid on the pot needs to be in a particular position to allow the coffee to drip into the pot.

It's all a matter of what you drink it out of right @19richie66 ?? .... 

 

Once when I was a sub nub I ran for alot of coffee to get sigs on my qual card. A chief's cup had crust in it and I washed it. He put me on report for it! They had a fake captain's mast for me and added a few things to my qual card... 

   

Starting to get a nice patina...

I make my coffee using the pour over method.  I like iced coffee, so I put it in the fridge for the next morning.

[8ntruck 6,998]

We use tank type brewers.  Drip through grounds into a tank instead of a glass pot.  Valve at the bottom allows dispensing into single mugs.  Our usual batch size is the 8 cup marking.

 

Occasionally,  a coffee ground will get into the valve and hold it open.  The result is multiple mugs of coffee on the counter - and floor.  Like @Racinbob, discovered when returning to the house from the parimiter patrol with the dog.

And we question why garden tractors have safety interlocks?!

[MainelyWheelhorse 429]

I don’t drink a ton of coffee but when I do I go the K cup route with the little container to use your own grounds.

It’s usually at 5:15 in the morning when I am barely functioning and have to leave by 6:15 to get to work by 6:30.
I set it up and start it then go get ready. When I get back from work then I find the counter full of grounds that somehow I never saw…

As I have aged, I've gotten picky about my coffee. If it's weak, I won't drink it. Restaurants hate me. If it's weak I'll send it back. I don't use sugar, but I do use cream or 1/2 & 1/2. Don't put milk in it or offer me milk to put in it. I'm not British. Having said that, I too have had some brain-dead experiences making coffee. So don't feel like the Lone Ranger.

Not being a coffee drinker this thread really doesn't apply to me.  My wife, on the other hand, requires plenty of of it but I not going to invite her to chime in,  I tell those who inquire why I don't drink coffee, I want to keep my body pure.  I do enjoy hot tea during the winter.

Same here Bob.  

You stop up sometime. You'd enjoy my Bear 🐻  Cowboy  🤠  Coffee  ☕️.

Oh, that's a no no. When I had an office equipment service company, we had a Bunn commercial coffee maker. We kept coffee going all day. We used pre-measured packets so there was never a problem with coffee strength. I didn't mind employees taking the initiative to clean the pots and baskets, but there was a strict rule about washing my cup...DON'T. If you find it necessary to touch my cup, rinse only. It takes a long time to get a cup/mug properly seasoned. I can't say I blame your chief. The first time my office manager washed my cup, she suddenly had some work that needed to be done after hours on a Friday. My cup never got washed again.

On a submarine coffee was available 24/7 but I never drank it. It was always bug juice (koolaid) or soda which was also 24/7. 

Now it's a cup or better every day.

That went out the window many years ago ...
