Listening to my coffee maker brew this morning, I couldn’t
help but smile. Before I moved, I
fetched this coffee maker from the discard pile my ex had created in the
garage. Did the pot still brew
coffee? Yes. So why did he discard it? Probably wanted a slicker, shinier one
that would be more impressive.
But I liked my old coffee maker. Always had and was sad when I’d returned from a trip to find
it missing, just another of many casualties that ended up out in the garage to
be donated. The mentality that if
it’s not broke then why replace it runs deep in my veins. Always has. I come from a long line of relatives with the same mentality
that I just can’t help it. And
truth be told, I wouldn’t want to.
Back to why my coffee maker made me smile. It’s a wonderful creation that brews a
delicious pot of coffee and keeps it the perfect temperature till late into the
night since it’s complete with an effective thermal carafe. So why did it make me smile? Well…this particular coffee maker sort
of fell victim to the massive levels of hard water deposits at my old
house. The result, it takes a while to brew a pot of coffee. But that’s not a bad thing.
Since it takes so long to produce a pot of coffee, the beverage
that results is a delicious concoction that tastes exactly as it was created—a
super strong slow brewed mix that fills the air with an intoxicating aroma and
tastes oh, so pleasing.
Then there’s the sounds the coffee maker creates as it
brews….
Tune in tomorrow to find out more about my charming coffee
maker. : -)
