No more camp coffee in the morning


Little things mean so much and add pleasure and value to life. At work, at the office, we have long suffered from camp coffee syndrome. Another symptom of sad life clinging to a sinking ship. Too cheap to find and buy the correct sized coffee filters, we carefully made coffee with little tiny filters sized for half the volume of grounds as must be used to make passable coffee using the restaurant style coffee makers. Pre-measured hot water flows rapidly through inadequate sized filter overflowing the grounds into the coffee pot and leaving the coffee drinkers to pick the grounds from between their teeth before going to meetings.


This tradition has finally been put to rest. The pleasure and happy satisfaction of confidently making and pouring fresh Peet's coffee for the all important first cup at 5 AM makes all the difference in the world to me. I could work here forever now. If they would only make me an offer...
