It’s A Women’s World

Both my husband and I enjoy drinking coffee. One of the first things we do each morning is to make a pot of coffee. Through the years we have collected coffee mugs. We both like a large deep cup that keeps the coffee hot and allows for fewer trips to the coffee maker. Some of the coffee mugs we have bought as souvenirs from various trips and others have been given to us as gifts. It is nice to have the variety of cups and it makes it easier to tell which cup belongs to which person if it gets set down. We live in a lake home so we have many overnight guests. We have found that guests enjoy picking out which cup they are going to use. We keep the coffee mugs stored in the cupboard above the coffee maker for easy access.

Discovering that we are getting more coffee mugs than our storage area will allow. Because we prefer the larger cups they do take up a great deal of space. To help deal with this I moved the cups that match our stoneware set to a different cabinet. We really only use them when we serve dessert after a meal. This freed up some space, but we still found that we were trying to stack the large coffee mugs on top of each other in the cabinet, which does not work very well.

We decided that we would put some of the cups into a box for a garage sale that we are going to have next spring. I brought a box in the house and some newspaper to wrap the cups in so they would not chip or break. I started wrapping up one mug that I had not drunk out of for a long time. My husband mentioned that this was one of his favorites and he did not want to sell it. It went back in the cabinet. My husband wanted to get rid of a cup that I had bought on a trip to Canada. This trip held great memories for me so I did not want to part with it. We soon found that the only coffee mugs we were willing to put on the garage sale were ones that had company logos on that we had gotten at different business conferences. There were only four cups that fit into that category.  We decided on an alternative solution. We bought a mug tree to set on the counter next to the coffee maker. We hang six of our favorite coffee mugs on the tree. This gives extra space in the cabinet and we did not have to part with any of our favorite cups.

There are few people who don’t appreciate a really good cup of coffee. Some of us can drink the stuff even if it has been sitting in a pot for hours.  Most prefer the hot beverage as fresh as possible. The freshness depends heavily on the beans. Freshly ground beans make the best cup of java.  Not everyone has time to work with whole beans. The Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee maker helps you create the ultimate cup of this favorite of all morning beverages without the hassle of working with whole beans. This outstanding kitchen appliance actually grinds and brews the coffee according to your specifications.

Of course the Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee maker made a wonderful birthday present for me last year. My husband saw this innovative product and he knew that I would fall in love. And I did. The Cuisinart Grid and Brew coffee maker is the perfect machine for anybody who likes things to be at the peak of freshness. It also appeals to the lazy part in all of us as well.

I kept whole coffee beans in the house but I rarely had the chance to use them. Before I owned a programmable coffee machine I had to make my morning java right when I got up. My antique coffee grinder was way too much of a hassle to work with in the early morning hours especially since I hadn’t had my wake up beverage to get me motivated. Now the Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee maker lets me enjoy freshly ground beans without the morning struggle.

I just put the beans and water in the machine and the Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee maker does the rest. I don’t know how it works and I really don’t care. All I know is that I have the best cup of my favorite morning beverage at the peak of perfection each and every day. No more waiting for a special occasion for freshly ground beans. The Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee maker makes this a daily treat for me and my family to enjoy.

Now that I have this great kitchen appliance I look at my poor little antique coffee grinder and wonder how on earth I worked with that thing. It makes for a much better object of conversation than an actual piece of equipment. My Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee maker makes for great conversation as well. This is my favorite new invention.
