All week long, I drink sludge. You know the brown goop that standard office coffeemakers ooze. Of course, I could stop at Starbucks but that would add another 15 minutes to my commute and I’d rather hit the snooze button. But aahhh, the weekend, when I lazily wake up and wend my way to the kitchen for a fragrant cup of Krups (it’s programmable!). My new Krups F5F-14 is a thing of beauty, a sculptural addition to my kitchen and a maker of a damn fine Krup of joe. It’s all burnished metal and sleek black casing, it has an insulated carafe for keeping the coffee piping hot so I can read the entire New York Times Sunday edition and keep my head up. It makes up to 10 Krups of coffee if you’re having a party …or you’re a caffeine junkie who needs a constant drip. Are you wondering why I don’t a make a Krup of Joe on the weekdays, too, and pour it in a thermal mug? Let’s just for the sake of argument say that I’m clumsy and that can’t drink and drive at the same time. Let’s just say that and move on. Because right now I’m kinda cranky cause it’s Monday and I’ve downed my first cup of office diesel.
P.S. And just so I earn my keep around here, you can save a bundle buying it from Become. Why pay more? I didn’t!
You do know that we keep packets of brewable Starbucks in the office, right? I suppose this requires the patience to wait for the coffeemaker to brew your new cup, but I’ve gotten quite adept at the cup/carafe swap.
