I usually eyeball it, though.
I read this as "eyeroll it," at first. All I could think was "Damn, she's good -- brewing coffee through the power of her facial expressions!"
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Yeah, it's a sort of combination "single eyebrow twist triple growl dismount using stern tone" maneuvre.
Or, as Eddie Izzard says, not really a maneuvre. More of a gesture.

t over in the corner, the coffee is frantically brewing, driven by both fear and awe....

(In truth, the Heimlich bit never works for me, because Dr. Heimlich is from Cincinnati, and his son is a city councilman, and I always think "He's not Prussian; he eats his chili over spaghetti!" But I imagine not too many people know where Dr. Heimlich hails from.)

Deb, what's the actual cup count on the 40 cup coffee maker? I ask this because a lot of home versons that proclaim 10 cup are really just 5 or 6 cups.
Would it be wise to have the hotel provide one too, so that the Sumatra & the Ravensbrew are going at the same time? Possibly better to have too much coffee ready than too little.

Pete, good call. I'll tell Lilibeth. And this is actually a professional maker; when it says cup, it's really talking approximately 6 ounces, not 8. So in actuality about 28 cups at a time.

8 oz. cups? Pikers. Nothing less than a 10 oz. cup in my house. Maybe even 12 or 14 oz.
