Coffee Epiphany

Dragging your body around like a 20 year old dog?

Can't tell your kids apart?

Need reminders for what year it is and why you decided to have the children that just woke you up at 6:30am?

Yeah, that's our morning too. Before COFFEE. :)

Amazing how a cup of coffee and a shower can make you go from 0 to 60 ( I settle for "Grandma-ish 25" some mornings). My husband likes strong coffee, so do I.

Here's the dilemma....Coffee already takes a nice little chunk of money out of our weekly grocery budget. Adding extra beans to each pot is one way to achieve that rich, delicious taste, but Andy ingeniously (if you've already thought it up, don't tell him) came up with a NEW idea to make our morning pot a bit more stout, and it's 20x's more cost effective.
We now use TWO coffee filters each morning. How much do filters run...Perhaps $2.99 for 300-400?? That's a far cry cheaper than
parting with more of your precious $7.99 a lb coffee. The extra coffee filter keeps the water mixing with the beans for a little extra time, hence producing a stronger taste!

Give it a try! (Then tell me what you think!)
