Folgers?

I don't know how to make coffee 

    Let me rephrase that.  I don't know how to make good coffee.

    I know how the coffee pot works.  I honestly think we got it as a wedding present, but Jackie said that is impossible.

    I make coffee about 5 times a year.  It's never good.

    I use 1 to 2 tablespoons of coffee for each cup.  Sometimes it comes out strong enough that it will curl your toes.  Today it came out so weak I thought I was drinking colored water.

    One time I made some and it actually disssolved the spoon and made a hole in the bottom of the cup!

    And yes, I do use cream and sugar, or at least milk and sugar.   But today nothing would have helped.  I know when I go to bed I will feel the caffeine, but I sure did not taste coffee.

    I don't want a pot that uses those little cups....seems a waste to me.  And I may not use exactly fresh coffee.  My BZ friend Linda gave me some coffee 2 years ago.  One pound of beans.  I just finished it.  Now I am using coffee I had before that.

    I keep it in the freezer and take out the beans when I need them, which is about 5 times a year.

    It could be the beans have gone stale, or the pot doesn't get as hot as it used to, or I use the wrong amount of coffee, or I have gotten used to coffee from coffee bars.  In either case, I have to make some adjustments.

    While I was looking for a tool in our kitchen junk drawer, I was reminded of the need to clean out the drawer.

    I found a coupon for Tide detergent.....$1 off.  It expired in 2014.  Seriously, how long do I go before I clean out the drawer?

    Hell, the coupon could be older than the coffee.  Or not.

    While coupons go bad, coffee doesn't.  

    Does it?
