Saving on Coffee

July 3rd, 2006 at 12:51 pm

I decided this weekend to stop wasting coffee.

I throw way at least 1/2 a pot a day, so this morning I started drinking instant.
The instant will allow me to make one cup at a time.

I thought this is going to be awful, but was pleasantly surprised.

I still have regular coffee in the cupboard and will use it for those days when 1 cup just won't do.

Now I know I could make half a pot, but I'm not that great at getting a whole pot to not curl my toes.

So a teaspoon and water,can't get much simpler than that.

    I make a half pot and refrigerate the extra, then nuke it the next day. It's not bad. But if you're okay with instant, that's even easier!

    I always forget I have it in the refrigerator.
    I"ve been drinking whole pots of coffee there and I figure doing the instant will help me cut down.

    I normally make a 1/3 cup of coffee. I measured what coffee I put in for a full pot, divided it in 3 and made a note of that amount. So I fill the pot to the 4 cup water measure, put in the right amount of coffee and perfect coffee every time, just enough to put in my thermos if I want to take it to work - it makes 2 cups for at home this way!

    A bit of fuss to figure out - but only 5 minutes worth of fuss - once only, and fresh brewed coffee every morning with no waste. I like fresh brew rather than nuked and can't stand instant. My perfect measuring spoon for this stays in the coffee container!
