We got a new coffee maker here at work. It’s got a digital display, menus, and is all sleek and new looking.<\/p>\n
I strongly dislike it.<\/p>\n
The old one we had just had three mechanical buttons: Coffee\/Tea, Espresso, Hot Chocolate. Each morning I hit the espresso button twice, to fill my cup halfway with hot chocolate and half with coffee – which makes a relatively yummie mocha drink.<\/p>\n
I guess what I liked most about it is that it wasn’t something that would break like a computer might, no digital display to go bad. Broken coffee machines are horrible things. The old coffee maker was very simple.<\/p>\n
Simple is good when it comes to coffee.<\/p>\n
The best strong coffee I drink is right out of our french press. No buttons, no complexity, you just put the ground coffee beans in, add hot water and push down the filter thingy.<\/p>\n
Mmm french press coffee.<\/p>\n
But the new coffee machine has more buttons and a digital display explaining that it’s making my coffee, tells me to enjoy it, and warns me that it’s very hot. Plus the espresso button is on a submenu rather than being on the front *sigh*<\/p>\n
I’ll admit though, it’s fun to play with. Our office computers were down the better part of the morning (arg) and I spent some of that time playing with the new digital coffee maker.<\/p>\n
Only trouble with playing with a coffee maker is that it makes coffee. I had a Mocha AND a Cappuccino this morning. Yeahyeahyeahyeah! %D<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
