A taste of home…
The coffee machine is broken at work. Normally, this would be a bad thing for me…as I love coffee. But, the coffee machine here is really an espresso machine that makes single espresso, double espresso and cafe americano…which is a shot of espresso with hot water. Don’t get me wrong, these drinks do the trick. I mean, they do have caffeine, right? However, as much as I’ve come to enjoy an espresso here, I don’t think it will ever compare to a cup of freshly brewed coffee from home.
So, what does it mean when the coffee machine breaks here? It means they bring in the substitute…a coffeepot. A coffeepot that makes brewed coffee. Ahhhh! A taste of home…the time is winding down and I’m sitting here in my office with my fresh cup of brewed coffee. I can taste the Caribou and Dunn Bros., I can imagine being at Key’s and Birchwood…that is the first thing I want when I get back. A huge cup of brewed coffee.
