the problem with coffee

No, wait, don’t leave; there is one. My husband and I say this All. The. Time. And by all the time I mean, every time one of us forgets to:

a) add water

b) empty the carafe first (its a thermos-style one, and generally emptied the day before, but sometimes you get lucky and wind up with 12 cups of coffee in an 8 cup carafe)

c) turn on the coffeemachine

d) all of the above. This hasn’t happened in one sitting, to my knowledge. YET.

I decided to make a silly little printable out of it, just for fun and mostly because I am very busy procrastinating right now. You can click the picture above to access a .pdf to download or print, if you so desire. The pdf doesn’t have my website on it. I figure if anyone wants this, I’ll give it with both hands.

You might be better off with a sticky note detailing the steps for making coffee, though.

Just to be braggy for a moment, a friend of mine dropped off a bottle of homemade wine for me today. It was a buck-up-buttercup present re: my crappy monday. My friends are the best! And yes, I did have a big glass before spending far too much time creating a printable about making coffee, why do you ask??
