Coffee

Coffee
I love coffee. This may even be an understatement. I try to avoid buying coffee during the day. I  bring coffee with me most of the time to avoid a weak moment.   My exceptions are when I am out of town. My husband and I will often buy a large or extra large coffee and we share, instead of buying 2 small or medium coffees.  We have also discovered that Second Cup will take money off the total purchase with the use of our refillable mug. McDonalds will also refill your mug, so at these times I buy a small if we are staying a while and I refill when I leave.  As I have mentioned in other blogs, when you fill up at the Shell Station you get a free hot beverage of your choice and size and your Airmiles!  French Vanilla Cappuccino...yes please!!!
At home we have a few coffee machines, all I justify serve a purpose. 
The Keriug    4 years ago when asked what I wanted as a Christmas gift from my father I asked for a Keriug. I quickly felt that this was a very expensive way to have my daily coffee. I drink roughly 6 cups a day. This was expensive as I was drinking a box every 2 days just on my own.   They are around $10 a box so I had to explore other options. Also, a part of me felt guilty about all the waste.  I bought a mini filter where I can use my own ground beans. I use the Keriug now for my flavour treat coffees.
The French Press   This is the go to now for my coffee. I can put in 3 scoops and then use the kettle to boil water and start the coffee brewing process.   I like this as it is easy to throw in some decafe when needed. 
The Coffee Pot  My coffee pot is close to retirement. It has a timer on it and times I know I am up early or rushing in the morning I will set the machine to have my coffee ready for the morning rush.   I also use it when there are gatherings at my house, which is really only a few times a year.   I find there is more waste with the pot no one wants to drink the end of the pot.
