| Ahhhhhh another coffee-oholic! How refreshing. I do not function without coffee. I drink none stop all day and if i wake in the night , it's grab another cup or two before going back to bed.
i used to use all kinds of percolators and even at one time get a giant coffe e urn going. Now I buy the instant. I grab my cup fil t with water, heat it in the microwave a minute add tons of sugar a spoonful of coffe e and it is ready to go in under a minute.
LOL... Enjoyed your tale of the hunt for coffee, sorry ya had to hunt for it though. Seems like the day nor the world is not uite right without several cups of coffee to start it off.
Thanks for the information on th eblooms. Didn't realize they were fragrant. I have some coffee seeds here and hopefully I can get them to germinate, after seeing how beautiful the bushes are.
Thanks for the article. |

| Oh YES, YES!!!!!
Coffee lovers here!! I remember the stove top percolaters! We had an Corning Ware electric percolater when we first got married! We are always trying new types/brands/flavors of coffee in the quest for the perfect cup!

| Since I wrote the article I have acquired a new coffee maker. It is the first one I have ever had with a timer. Programmed to start 10 minutes before I crawl out of bed.
Best invention since sliced bread!!
The dogs are happier about it too :)) |

| I love coffee. But I'm not a fan of Starbuck's.
I love "Chock full of Nuts" brand. That is my favorite. ( The name doesn't have anything to do with the coffee.) Next time I get a coffee maker, I think I'll get the programmable. That's sounds like a great idea, to have it ready as soon as I get up! |

| Yes-If you can get it free-I would like it also. No- you can't beat that!
Star bucks is a little too strong- (maybe not smooth enough)
I used to be in the Gevaila coffee club-where they send it thru the mail, but that got to be too pricey.
And I prefer the Chock full of nuts more, anyway. |

| as for smooth -- they have different varieties... we have "worked" up to the boldest blends over the years ... and by using less or more grounds to get that "perfect" cup.
I like some with 'bite' like sumatra. our kid bought us some kona -- that was nice a smooth, but expensive.
I find the central american beans are nice and smooth, where some asian or african has more bite. |

| This article is just too funny! I'm a coffeeholic, too, but I don't think I'm as bad as you. ;)
Dunkin' Donuts is my all time fav, & my 1/2 & 1/2 is just as important as the coffee brand. |
