Janis: It's an exclusive gourmet blend! Arlo: It tastes burnt! Janis: First, we grind the beans... Janis: It makes one cup of coffee at a time! Arlo: Why?! Janis: This was ten bucks!! Arlo: Wow!
Right, Patvinshawl….
And this is selected moments of their history….
Young married couple, buying into the late 70’s – early 80’s coffee mystique…
Eventually, evolved into a serious morning undertaking….
while Arlo, as I used to do, waits for the rituals of the grinder and the french press.
We’ve probably fast-forwarded here through other pots…. electric or manual… as they get older, and more inclined to just grab a faster cup….
till they fall for the wastefully expensive and un-ecological single cup system….
And finally…. the easy path…. gloating in a bargain on … yes, a “three pound” can…. which these days actually weighs about 30 oz… probably for their Mr. Coffee electric pot.
Though I have to say, Janis… I just paid $7 for Folgers so called “French Roast.”
Bwah ha ha!
