I've been thinking about what to blog about for the last few hours. And this is all I got...
Apparently, having a college degree does not guarantee you were born to be a Barrista (btw, who came up w/that? You make coffee for a living, people... it's not a career. Actually, I'm just kidding. You make GREAT coffee. Keep it up. Never stop. )
How sad.
I bet you're wondering what the hell I'm talking about... well, wonder no - mo!
I consider myself a well-educated, thoughtful, well-rounded (is that a fat joke?) woman...
Who cannot make a damn cup of coffee.
*sigh*
I tried blaming the coffee maker itself. HEY! It COULD be defective.
Then I thought, it could be the water I have in my pipes... but then I made it one day w/bottled water... still nasty.
I even tried a different brand. Nope. Still caca.
Basically, I've knocked out all of the possibilities, and all that's left is me. Sucky-Ass-Coffee-Making-Thatgirl7278. What a shame. Especially since I have really come to enjoy my daily cuppage. Heh. I said cuppage. And, if you recall readers, I enjoy my java black w/cancer-n-low. So it's important that the coffee itself actually tastes good. Especially since I don't add any of those "other things" (like sugar/mocha-me-mad creamers/Kahlua/etc) to make my coffee NOT taste like coffee (like so many others do - psh - pussies!).
I wonder if there's a class I can take. Orrrrr maybe I can just pick up one of those Starbucks/Seattle's Best/Same-Shit-Different-Name coffee-makers, bring 'em back to my place, show 'em a "good time" *nudge nudge wink wink* (and by "good time" I mean, pop out the Trivial Pursuit - Star Wars edition. What? It's a good time to me.) and all they'll have to do is show me how to brew a damn cup of coffee. I don't think that's too much to ask. Not really.
Wish me luck.
Oh! On a completely non-related point, my computer has been very slow recently and today my IT guy (oh, man THAT'S a whoooooole other story) told me that it might be my motherboard. To which I replied "Psssh, your mother..... board." Holy shit, I'm funny.

Apparently I can make a mean cup of coffee...but I don't drink the stuff so how would I know?I pour and guess.
Buy the pre-packaged baggie things like the restaurants use. Of course then, you'd have to drink 10 cups.
I am a huge coffee snob. I'm in so tight at my local place I get my 6 shots of espresso with coffee on top for free. (they love me! That I I do promotional stuff for them, but they LOVE me. :) There is a proper ratio of coffee to water to make the best brew. I bet if you googled 'proper make coffee' you'd get some helpful hints.
6 Shots of Expresso with coffee on top?!?! How does your heart not just thump right out of your body?!?!
I don't make coffee......we have Timmies:)
Everytime I hear "Timmies" I think it's some sort of drug. Kinda like "roofies". Either way... I'd be good-to-go!
