ugh, burned coffee

[vampyrewolf]

just had to toss a fresh pot on, the other one I forgot to turn off when I went for physio... I swear, they need to set pots to quit running after 20min instead of 2hrs.

Guess I have to do more experimenting with the bodum, might have it down by the time the burr mill gets here. Gotta love caffine headaches.

VW,

I know what you mean. But, I believe Java is currently working on a prototype on a remote controlled coffee maker. It will have the following:

1) From your Cell Phone you will be able to turn off and on.

2) Signal from Coffee Maker will alert you on your cell phone or e-mail that it has been left on.

3) Rotating cartridges filled with numerous types of coffee beans. Again, call from Cell Phone to decide which.

4) Coffee Maker will be able to detect coffee in pot that is anything older than 1 hour and automatically flush the stale brew.

5) It will have a "sultry" voice to greet you in the morning. Or it will be pre-loaded with Java's voice. Which ever you prefer.

6) Coffee Maker will also call Juan Valdez when running low on aforementioned beans.

7) Grinder will be made of Spyderco Blades. This way you can set it for "Ultra Fine Grind".

8) It will slap you if you even think about having apple or orange juice instead.

9) It will have a clock on it...hehehe

10) It will be made of all chrome.

I know there is more...but, I have promised to keep the list short. Java thank you ahead of time for this wonderful invention (necessity really had its part in this one).

only costs a cool grand eh?

I suggest decorating it with one of those eagle sculptures like the big professional italian espresso monsters have.
How about doing brass and gold leaf finishes, too?
And it must have giant analog dials for water temp and steam pressure. :)

I dunno, I'd almost prefer "tactical black" or "camo" and I hate both of 'em. :p

I don't drink coffee, but I love the smell of freshly made coffee.

VW if you put your edc Spydie and car keys next to the coffee maker you might remember to turn it off before you leave? I've done similar things and it works for me.

Tsk tsk! I just switched to a coffee maker that uses a thermal carafe, instead of the glass-carafe-with-burner. Burnt coffee problems gone. I can let the coffee sit in the thermal carafe for a couple of hours, and it'll still come out hot and tasting good.
