My wife and I have settled on a division of things to do in preparing our drip filter coffee machine to make our coffee: I clean the lid with the “pour in from the filter” and "pour out into the cup” contraptions, she fills the machine with water, I put the paper filter into its holder and measure the coffee powder into it using an almost chemistry-lab precision special spoon, she then adds what she believes to be the additional powder necessary using an utterly imprecise teaspoon, and I get to push the “start” button (in this way very analogous to our dishwasher ritual).

What can I say?That this is one aspect where being single with four pets having no interest in coffee looks like the more relaxing option?

Sounds like she wants coffee instead of tea.
I'm looking forward to my Saturday morning cup of coffee tomorrow...

Well, we descaled our coffee machine again today. Something we should do after about every 40 brewings, according to the user manual.

Well, I've been drinking about a coffee pot a day again... 10-12 cups. I think I'm back to "normal" lol I also got some new coffee grounds that are a medium roast with a hint of vanilla and brown sugar. It is very tasty! Not a supper strong flavor but just enough to give it a good aroma and slight taste.

Your new coffee sounds yummy. I like medium roast myself, although I've been drinking Mocha Java recently which is a bit stronger.

I prefer medium roast as well over all ES but the flavor sounded yummy and it was. Lol So I am happy. Lol Lol well, coffee doesn't seem to keep me up so much as it does other people. Lol If I am doing something like reading in the morning or sitting for a moment to relax I just sip my coffee and one cup never does it... lol I drink it for the flavor. *shrugs* Perhaps a little... more... than a normal person. In my deffense these are coffee maker cups (6 oz. ) not 8 oz. cups. I thought to myself the other morning... "You know it has been a good morning when your hardest decession was which coffee cup to drink from!" But then... even that becomes an easy decession with multiple cups. A few cups from one a few cups from another... lol

I found a website that sells water filters for my coffee machine. I ordered a few. It says the filters are to be changed every two months. We've been using this coffee machine for 2+ years!

Yeah, the whole 2 months thing seems like a moneymaker for the filter makers. But being they are charcoal based filters, some bad stuff can start growing in them. I'm thinking I may only use the new filter for 1 year.
I got some Burundi CO-OP plantation coffee delivered today. Smells nice. Looking forward to making a cup with it.

I keep raking my brain trying to think how I could fix up a place around here to grow coffee... lousy climate I had to end up in just doesn't allow for it without a lot of expense.
I would love to try fresh grown coffee and experiment with how to process it and see how it effects the taste etc...
