Get The Right Taste With An Automatic Coffee Maker

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

I figured there was no point rolling out of bed early only to start hearing the painful slow plunking sound of an automatic coffee maker, which anyway will only make coffee very slowly, and one drop at a time, which negates my desire to have it very quickly. Besides, with the automatic coffee maker, one will still be saddled with the task of measuring ingredients.
