sometimes the little things do count

Con: woke up late, another coffeemaker bites the dust, forgot medicine AND purse, irritated D. by having him bring said purse/meds to work for me, constant interruptions.

Pro: conversation with D. when I got home. Replacement of aforementioned chunk of sad plastic with metal percolator, enabling me to get into full Little Old English Lady mode ("shall I just go put the kettle, on, dear?"). Final discovery of two large bags of dark chocolate M&Ms (plain) while picking up percolator.

Those dark chocolate m&ms should go a long way toward chasing the blues away!

Mmmmm ... perked coffee ... far FAR superior to that sad drip stuff that has only passed through the grounds once (not difficult to tell that I own a percolator, is it? ***grin***)

Made my first pot this morning - it does seem noticeably stronger, yes!

For me it's not the strength (I don't make coffee at home often, but when I do I'm just as likely to perk decaf beans as the regular stuff) so much as the noticeably richer flavour ... I lost my coffee virginity to a percolator, so drip has always tasted watery to me.

P.S. Hopefully your perk's instructions included the correct grounds-to-water ratio, otherwise you could end up with a cup that stands your hair on end for a several days. :p
