It’s official, buying the Toddy was a brilliant idea. Yes it’s basically a piece of plastic, a glass jar, a cork, and a round filter. But I stick some coffee and water in it and forget it for 12 hours and then I have a full container of coffee for the fridge — enough for the week. Any kind of coffee! I am in heaven. It may not be a “machine” in the traditional sense of the word but it’s by far my favorite coffee machine now. More so than my espresso machine or my Senseo and it doesn’t even take power!
Our locals Starbucks not only knows our names and orders but yesterday one of their employees announced, as we went to pay “It’s on me today, you guys are always in here”. Awww they’re so good to us. We are addicts. Random acts of kindness rock. heh.
