My one true addiction in life is coffee. I like it strong and full-bodied. I don’t put anything in it.
It’s International Coffee Day! Of course, for me – every day is coffee day.

What do you want your coffee maker to do?
The complicated issue is the decision on what you want your coffee maker to do. Do you want to have a preset timer that makes your coffee for you and its ready when you get up?

If yes why not purchase a coffee maker that has a coffee grinder built right in.

I am a die hard Keurig gal. I have a large one at home and a small one at my office.
I love the fact that each cup is fresh, fresh, fresh!
