[Magdalen] coffee

[Jay Weigel]

I've had a drip coffeemaker (Mr. Coffee or now, Black and Decker) since
forever and keep them until they die. Gone through a few of them! When I
was married to the late ex, who was a heavy coffee drinker, whoever was
last to bed "set up" the coffeemaker the night before with coffee, filter,
and water. It was then a matter of hitting the ON button when the earliest
riser got up, or later on we had programmable models, and the remainder was
put into a thermal carafe for the later riser. The system worked quite well
for us as we almost never, in our entire married life, got up at the same
time--which had to do with work hours. When I went off on my own, I
acquired a smaller one, which has since expired. I had to buy a new one
last year, and after looking them all over, chose a fairly basic Black and
Decker model because so many of the others have become overly complicated.
I'm the only coffee drinker here but bought a 12 cup model in case of
company. I usually make 6 cups because I'll drink that much. one of its
"cups" is a puny amount!
