The Promise Never land.
 
I did bought some Schotch tape for my.. I would not calll myself crazy but..paper I write out quotes and post them on the wall, I do that all over the room,
and people do not question me.. :) Also a small basket plastic to keep my markers organized without a rubber band around them.
 
If *I* didn't purchase it, can it still go in this thread? :)

My live-in helper surprised me with this yesterday:

If you're thinking, wait, didn't Moody just get a single-serve coffee maker?! You're right! I did, as noted earlier in this thread. I hadn't complained about the one I got, but it left some things to be desired, most notably its inability to accommodate a tall mug, and not having a reservoir that you can add extra water to, then use on a per-cup basis. So she told me this was an early birthday/Christmas present! I just used it this morning and it's awesome! It has several options, such as mug size and coffee strength. The previous one will be donated along with various other stuff as it works fine, and someone can surely get some use out of it.

You're right, it is a Keurig. It's very nice, and a huge step-up from what I had bought. To be honest, this has pretty much replaced my giant Cuisinart! I can now make my own coffee very easily, and it can rapidly make additional cups, so if more than one person wants coffee, this works out nicely.

I'm still getting used to it, though. In the pic I posted, see the little reusable filter on top of the coffee canister? I've fiddled around with using that, with my own ground coffee, as I had with the little previous one-cup maker. But for some reason it's not working out right! My first attempt was fine. But from then on, it's caused assorted problems, like plain water pouring into the mug.... I don't know what I'm doing wrong. So I'm also using K-cups and those work great.

I like my Coffee pot because i can make a whole pot or single serving size, but i haven't set it to brew automatically yet......... too lazy.

I hear you! But the whole reason I wanted a single-serve maker was because of shoulder difficulty lifting the big Cuisinart carafe, both to fill the reservoir and to pour coffee. I needed something I could easily handle when no one else is around to make coffee for me.

As for brewing automatically, I recommend not doing that. I've heard many accounts over the years of coffee-makers that were left plugged in--not *ON*, just plugged in--that caught fire and burned the house down. I *never* leave my coffee-makers plugged in. That's why I'm not interested in 'smart' features! I don't need to be able to start it with my phone from my bedroom, you know?! :D

I just started using a reusable filter for my Kuerig, but mine looks a little different than yours. Anyway, check that it doesn't need to be inserted a certain way. Some have an indicator arrow that should line up with the bottom of the Keurig.

It's really weird, @Unforgiven, because the first time I used it, it worked fine. No problems at all. Then tries two, three and four yielded awful results! Water spraying out the side at one point, clear water pouring into the mug at another, and coffee grounds all over the top of the holder (the place the filter drops into). Clearly, I'm doing something wrong... I've checked and re-checked, but I'm just not seeing what's different from the first time.

I've been blessed with good health all of my life... or perhaps I've earned it. I've labored hard, stayed very active, exercised daily, and have maintained a reasonable diet. I hope everyone will enjoy their silver years as much as I.

On topic... I got a cold smoking tube to try my hand at smoking some cheese. It uses wood pellets as fuel and is supposed to keep a cooker around 90° degrees which is ideal for cheese. It can also be used to enhance a grilling experience with the flavor of the pellets. Here is the tube I got...

I met a guy camping last year that made one out of a coffee can. He smoked american cheese and it was fantastic. Let me know how it works.

One of my river buddies has the same tube I got. He talked me into trying it. It's only a $12 adventure... surely it is worth that. :) Now I need a propane torch to ignite the pellets. Mine has suffered too many years in the shed to be useful. I'm anxious to try it... my buddy loved the results but he's smoking on a smaller GM smoker. I hope that is not a factor.
