Grandma Sarah was a pharmacist. She loved to stay up on the state of knowledge in the medical field by reading the scholarly (and popular) literature and with the continuing education required to maintain her license. She always got a lot more continuing education hours than was required. Because our family has tended toward the fanatical end of the coffee drinking spectrum, maybe more in terms of quantity than quality, Grandma Sarah stayed abreast of the research on the ills and benefits of coffee drinking.
That all being said, it has been kind of shameful that the kids have had less than stellar coffee brewing equipment. We got them each a K-Cup coffee maker that can also perform single brewing from grounds. I am not sure these are the most brilliant coffee machines in history, but they are definitely adequate and are profoundly better than what Kelly and Christian had before. One thing that I had not figured out about the K-Cup thing is that they definitely compete with the traditional brewing of a carafe of coffee just because you never have to through away half a carafe because your coffee drinking ambition was moderated dramatically after your first three cups. And it is WAY cheaper than buying it at Starbucks.

This time of year we freeze extra coffee to maked iced coffee. Doesn’t dilute that way.
Actually, it just dawned on me what a great idea this is! Going to definitely try it!
