Lifestyles – Married and Both Working
You may be one of the most envied people, but not feel like it. Up at dawn to get ready for work and then off to the place of work. When you get home, you are both so tired that all you want to do is relax. I hear you, been there myself in a way.
My husband and I, at first, were both working and going to college full time. It seemed like all we did was go to school, then to work and study. Coffee makers were electric, but not programmable all that much and who could afford more than a basic coffee maker. Tuition, books, transportation to school, rent, utilities insurance and food were most important. Does this sound like you or close. There are possible solutions to your “rate race.” An inexpensive Toastess programmable coffeemaker that lasts a long time.

When you respond, I will let you know what I am up to. I am sure you will enjoy it.

Presto Steel Coffee Percolator 6 Cup 02822
This Presto coffee percolator is energy efficient, using only 500 watts of power while others 1000 or more. This classic stainless-steel percolator brews from 2 to 6 cups of coffee. It is best if you use a French press grind size. This is slightly larger than a regular grind. Because the hot water circulates through grounds, it creates that familiar percolating sound.
This Presto coffee maker features a ready-to-serve indicator light, detachable cord, drip-free spout for graceful serving and automatic keep-warm mode. The knob and handle always have a cool-touch as does the stay-cool bottom. This Presto stainless steel percolator comes with a 1-year limited warranty.
Farberware 12 Cup Coffee Percolator
This 12 cup percolator by Farberware is great for those who like a stronger cup of coffee. If you buy whole beans or grind your beans at the grocery store you should use a French Press grind size. This is a little larger grind than the drip coffee grind. The reason for using this size grind is the percolator process which pumps the water over the grinds for a period of time which makes the coffee stronger. Therefore, using a larger grind has less saturation area that makes a surprisingly wonderful cup of coffee. This is true whether you “perk” 4, 6, 8 or 12 cups.
Consumer rate and comments: rate: 4.1; ‘ol faithful brews a reliable, delicious cup of joe”; “First, I have to say these units really do make the very best tasting coffee. But, Farberware is not what it used to be.”; “The Best Little Perc in Town.” and “love perked coffee! Great little perk!”
This Farberware coffee percolator is still made of durable stainless steel construction and comes with rolled edges for safe and easy handling and a detachable power cord. This 12 cup percolator maintains a consistent brew speed: 1-cup per minute. The coffee stay warm feature keeps the coffee at drinking temperature while plugged-in.

Black and Decker Grinder 100
Did you every have someone unexpectedly teach you something? Something that you were suppose to know, but didn’t. This happened to me the other day. A customer was looking for a specific coffee grinder. He noted that he thought the Black and Decker grinder I had was the exact one he wanted.
After some research, I found this grinder had a specific name that I was not aware of. Not only did I learn the name, but the customer said it has the strongest and best cover of any coffee grinder. After years of using it to grinder dehydrated cranberries the lid does not get all scarred like all the others he has tried. The White Black & Decker CBG100W is also called the Black and Decker “Custom Grind.”
LavAzza Grand Espresso 2.2 lb. Bag, Beans 2134
This Lavazza blend is made with only the best Arabica beans from Central and South America, and select African and Indonesian Robusta beans. Lavazza Grand Espresso’s full-bodied flavor, with strong chocolate undertones, is perfect for espresso-based beverages with a high milk ratio, and easily produces a very thick crema.
This reminds already me of a mocha coming from just the beans and some added milk. It sure has been popular this last Christmas season. This Grand Espresso coffee comes as whole beans in six 2.2 pound vacuum sealed bags with a one-way valve to keep the beans truly fresh.
