Jenn obtained a carafe
May. 22nd, 2018 07:07 pmAnd boy, it really does keep coffee hot.
The plus side of this is that we don't have to boil water every time we want to brew coffee. (No, we don't have a coffee maker. It's french press or use the cone filter.) The downside is that now that coffee is so much easier to pour out, my family has been drinking a lot more of it. I budgeted for 2 pounds to last us just over a month, and wow it didn't. And we actually had three pounds, because I bought a pound of the bird friendly to go with the regular fair trade!
This isn't a huge issue. My mother is a heavy coffee drinker, Jenn likes coffee, I don't mind buying coffee, but wow bird friendly coffee is pricey. Even regular fair trade coffee is pricey! So I'm juggling our coffee budget a little.
Also, I finally found Eva's bag of herbal tea. It had ended up in the pet cabinet.
