International Coffee Day: Thoughts about Coffee

Jamál (Beauty), 3 Mashíyyat (Will), 170 BE - Sunday, September 29, 2013 about 4:09 PM Pacific Time

I celebrated International Coffee Day, the same way I always celebrate it, with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. The coffee maker I use brews twelve and I drink three cups this morning, so I still have about nine cups left. I will warm one or two cups up in the microwave this afternoon, the rest I will save for tomorrow.

I purchased the coffee maker while Mom was still alive. Between Mom and I we could always drink twelve cups and would empty the carafe. Now that I am by myself, I cannot drink twelve cups in a single day. I have fresh coffee one day and then the next I warm my coffee up in the microwave. Perhaps I should consider getting a smaller coffee maker.

A smaller coffee maker would work well in the fall and winter, but not in the spring and summer. When the weather gets warmer, I drink iced coffee. I make my iced coffee with coffee ice cubes, this means brewing, at least, twelve cups so I have enough coffee to freeze in the ice cube trays. I will consider getting a new coffee maker after I move.
