I consider myself a thinking person, someone who always has
a brilliant thought on his mind. But, I guess as I progressively age, a guy
just wants to have fun…but, alas I digress.
About a month or so ago my Keurig coffee maker died, or so I
thought. What did I do, I went out and purchased a Mister Coffee, coffee maker
for about $20. Prior to that I had purchased an expensive, well a near
expensive couple bags of coffee, which I used in my Keurig coffee maker. That
coffee was great, great taste and so forth.
The only problem, coffee tends to spoil after a couple of
weeks (actually a week or less. I just can’t drink coffee that fast, though). And, what made it even worse the Mister coffee
maker left my cup of coffee with a bad plastic after taste. Yesterday, after
having no coffee for a couple of days, I thought I would try the Mr. Coffee
machine again. This time, the coffee was just terrible, I mean terrible! A
biting, stinging taste on my tongue. I took one sip and had to spit it out, it
was that bad.
This morning I opened up a jar of instant coffee. I have
never really liked instant coffee, never. I usually drink it when I go camping.
As of right now, eight hours later, I still feel that coffee in my gut. It
seems to be hard to get out of my system.
Anyway, I remembered something my son told me a very long
time ago…”Use YouTube, Dad!” Sure enough I went to the web and looked up Keurig
coffee makers on YouTube and my exact machine came up and the video explained
what was wrong and what to do about it. A very simple thing to do.
I now say to myself, “How stupid could I have ever been?”
This is something I should have done two months ago and I wouldn’t have suffered
as much as I have in the long run. And I have suffered. I need my morning
coffee. Not because I like it so much, (love it), but it offers me the energy
to get out of the house and do my daily run or walk or anything else that
requires exercise.
If I can ever remember, old age seems to be doing that to me
or I have been drinking too much…I’ve got to remember to use YouTube when
something around the house breaks. Anyone wanna buy a Mister Coffee maker,
cheap?
