I am very easy to please. it's true.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
How much do you normally consume?
Once I get into the office, it's 2 or 3 cups in the morning. I like to drink it in the evening as well, but normally don't because of the hassle.
There are tiny coffee makers. I have one. It makes max 4 cups, which is 2 mugs worth.
Could be a possibility.
ita, a french press is on the consideration list, but isn't it more of a hassle because you actively have to participate in the making of the java?
I know Deb loves her One:One, but there are a few different makes out there. Mayhap I shall search for reviews.
What I really want is the commercial espresso machine we have in the restaurant. Mmmm, so good, but damn expensive.

Happy New Year!
I have a new computer! It's not from 1995! It's...NEW. And it has...a DVD-ROM...and a CD burner.
And I have at-home DSL, and a new space heater sitting at my feet like a puppy.
I'm, like, totally ready for world domination!
And I just colored my hair! And passed my portfolio review. And I have a new (to me) cellphone, thanks to my sister.
Ice storm predictions nonwithstanding, I'm pretty fucking pleased.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
My take on the French press is that you have to have a Disposall in your sink -- to eat up the grinds. With a filter, you just take the whole shebang and throw it out; when the grinds are loose (or packed) into a glass, and you don't want to throw out the glass, that's some extra cleaning to deal with.
Moreso, when you just have a regular sink.
You could always get an old-fashioned percolator. Of course, I am told that makes coffee the equivalent of tar. I wouldn't know, since my coffee tastes are remarkably plebeian (and I smother my coffee with cream and sugar anyway).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm a tea drinker by trade, so it's not more work than that. Fill the press with coffee and water, wait x minutes, press, pour.

Erin, I haven't seen you in forever. Howdy!

hey, Baby Pink! Howza?
Yeah, y'all'll be seeing me around more. I got the DSL but regretfully declined on the cable, so I have no TV (how am I going to get ALIAS? Fuck if I know.)
It's my last semester of school! I student teach this semester (I start next week) and I grad in May with my 2nd MA. Go, team me. And I've lost 20 pound since this summer and did 12 loads of laundry in the last 4 days.
And I've started a new novel. And I got the new Writer's MArket for Xmas.
I'm all agog over myself.
ita, I've thought about a French press; they're different for tea and coffee, right?

And I have at-home DSL
Yay! More Erin for us! We want more Erin!
See, that makes me happy.

I have been known to use mine for tea, on the odd occasion. But I'm philistinical.
And dude -- TWELVE LOADS OF LAUNDRY??? You're a star.
(I tease because I am taken aback by the other less mortal accomplishments)

(woeful) I have about 5 more loads. My rattty tee shirts apparently breed like rats when left in the romantic confines of my closet.
David! Yes, I have no TV, so I will be torturing y'all with my trials, tribualtions and tertiary accomplishments.
