CUPPA JOE

I have not had any coffee for a number of years now.

I do drink diet cola and recently noticed the intake had increased.

That might explain my recent strong yen for a cup of coffee.

I am, perhaps, in a classic addiction spiral.

But it is coffee. Caffeine.

And I am going to give in to it.

Another thing. I have gotten all noddy in the later morning lately. Sleepy.

The caffeine should help that too.

Of all the drugs, I regard caffeine as the safest. It is also easily kicked if one has the will to do so.

So, I am going to hook myself up again.

It is a nice little hobby too. Grinding ones beans and all.

I sent off for a new burr grinder today. A Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill. Gotta get the burr.

In the meantime I will buy ground.

I am starting with Peet's brand. I think that it is all the same really but the bag looked nice and it is not Starbucks.

I also am not going to use the plastic/"gold" basket but move back to paper so I can get the ground finer and have more taste. The plastic basket smells after the first use.

We have a Braun maker. I had to go on line to get the operating instructions for the clock. It has been off that long. I am sure the instructions are in the "equipment" file but I don't have the heart to go page through all the brochures to find them.

So, here we go. Back to the future. Another old vice taken up again.
