It is all Coffee's fault...

My husband and I are like Pat and Mat. It is a a Czech stop motion animated series featuring two handyman who think they are Geniuses but they are really two DUMB DUMB

So, here is the story...


My husband and I drink coffee to stay awake during work. We are no means an addict, so two cups would suffice.

But..

You probably will not find another lazy couple like us!  We hate cleaning the coffee pot, so we usually drink instant coffee or enjoy our one cup Tasimo brewer.

As you might know, Tasimo is one of the first original cup coffee brewer. However, after seven years of owning it, the coffee started to taste stale and pure bad. For a while we bought instant coffee. If you ever tried the instant coffee, you know that the taste is mediocre and it can get expensive.

Since one of my husband's and I hobby is to explore Costco and try their samples... I know very sad.....
we noticed a long line of coffee products. Excited, I noticed a huge container of this exotic coffee. Feeling accomplished, I made a point that we should get this coffee. It is exotic, it is big and instant.. What could go wrong? After many arguments in Costco about the coffee being instant or not, we decided to get the coffee. Well, OK I did...

Next morning, very confident and happy, I opened the lid.......

We needed a Coffee Brewer.... you should of seen my husband face in the morning.

Feeling bad of being stubborn and paying for the coffee that Costco might not accept the return, I came up with an idea to just get a cheap coffee brewer from Ross and stop being lazy about washing the pot. A note here, I just graduated and my husband is still in school. We are pretty tight with money.

We went to Ross, choose a cheap machine, walked to the cashier, decided that we are still too lazy to clean the pot, left the coffee machine, left Ross, went to Costco, returned the coffee from Costco, and then went home.

Next morning, we were still out of good coffee and my hubby who is Starbucks addict started talking about Verismo, Starbucks single cup coffee brewer. When my hubby wants something, he just talks about it and talks about it and talk about it even  more... He convinced me that this is a fantastic investment. As Costco has their pods and we both can enjoy delicious Starbucks coffee at half a price. I have to say I was sold.

I took out our old wedding gift card and happily went to William Sonoma to purchase ourselves a new Coffee Machine. We looked like those newly weds giggling and amused by home products. Accomplished after buying our beloved Verismo, we enjoyed the complementary 10 samples, Starbucks provided in the box.

I even took our long friend Tasimo Machine to Goodwill.

Everything was fantastic until...

$1.25 for a cup of coffee... Are you kidding me! As it turned out we bought a wrong coffee machine. Costco and even Starbucks store carry Keuring Machine K-Cup. K-cups would not fit in Verismo, no matter what I tried. Searching online, I noticed that each Verismo coffee pod would cost us $1.25 and that would not even be a Latte. Now it was my time to be angry.......

Long story shot, we had to clean the Verismo and repack it for return. We finally managed to get a right coffee machine with right size coffee pods. After two weeks of being deprived of coffee, today I enjoyed my first cup of coffee... Hmmmmmm

Did I mention, we needed to change our toaster too? Lets write about that another time.
