In other news…what a three-ringed circus it was making our afternoon coffee yesterday when we discovered that our former Mr. Coffee suddenly went kaput. I pulled out this vintage aluminum dripolator that I had stashed in the back of a kitchen cupboard, and between the three of us (me, Mike, and a YouTube video) we figured out how to use it enough to eek out two cups.
The struggle with this very simple piece of kitchen memorabilia, made us both feel like a couple of dummies, but after yesterday’s fiasco, we were smart enough to know we had been beaten and needed to buy a new coffee maker. Chances are we will forget the new machine as quickly as we have forgotten all the former ones, but the little bit of a memory made over the little aluminum coffee maker, standing front and center in this photo, will stick with us long after this newly bought machine behind it decides its brewing days are over.
