Coffee.

Coffee. I want my coffee!

How much coffee is OK for me to drink in a day? “Two to three cups a day generally seems to be the sweet spot...”

Retired my old Keurig K40. Replaced it with an inexpensive Keurig K-Express:

• The size is perfect (takes up about 1/2 the counter space as the K40, and let me reorganize things to free up even more than that in usable space).
• The single needle/nozzle (vs. the newer “Multistream”) works with my reusable pods and Oakland Coffee Works Soundcheck single serve cups. (Note: I thought Keurig’s newer models (the “2.0” machines) were running checks and only brewing with Keurig-blessed pods, in an (easily thwarted, but still) evil adopted from the inkjet printer industry (an ongoing battle). But apparently the backlash caused them to abandon that...)
  
• Apparently heats water on the fly, vs. the K40 which needed to groan and rumble for a few minutes every morning before it was ready to do its job. This is ready to go essentially instantly.
  
• Has 8, 10, and 12 oz. brew settings, which is perfect for me, plus a “strong” button. (There’s some discussion that, especially with the reusable mesh pods, there’s not enough pressure for the Keurig to make a good cup of coffee. I don’t notice. I guess I’m not much of a coffee connoisseur. I’m okay with that.)
  
• Enough clearance to fit my Contigo travel mugs.

Anyway. I have coffee again. Things are right in the world.
