conulyAnd so she does drink a lot of coffee (especially at bedtime), but I've never liked it. It amuses my sister to see me taste a sip of my mother's coffee after heating it, only to make a face and go "Yup, that's sure coffee all right!" But as I explained to her, I want to know it's the right temperature and I don't want to stick a pinky in it, so... not so many options there. (Which she understood, but if I asked her I bet she'd say she still thinks it's funny.)
Now, we don't have a coffee maker. We have a coffee filter cone, and we have a French press, and we boil water to pour over the grounds.
Recently, Jenn has started drinking tea when I boil the water rather than having a cup of coffee. I wouldn't make a cup of tea just for me, but as long as I'm busy boiling the water and all already, might as well! Consequently, my tea consumption has gone way up, and we now have three tea strainers - a dippy one, a froggy that floats on top of the water (!!!), and one that nestles into the cup and is open at the top, which I use because no lid means I can put more leaves in and have a stronger cup of tea.
Turns out the froggy detaches. Nobody told me this. When it fell on the floor one day, I thought I'd killed it.
