With Christmas and my birthday coming up soon, many friends and family members have been asking me what is on my wish list. Normally I feel silly coming up with things that I want. It feels so materialistic; not to mention it is extremely hard for me to think of tangible things that other people could buy for me. Most of the time all I want in the world is to be able to take a two-week vacation from work and travel, but that’s not really something you can turn into a stocking stuffer!
This year, however, I know the perfect gift not only for others to get me, but for me to get for other people. Let me explain: I am usually not such a heavy coffee drinker, but in the thick of the winter I find myself drinking several cups a day. I love the taste of coffee, of course, but lately I have been needing it to soothe my bones and warm me up. It doesn’t matter what time of day or night it is (I mean there is always decaf!), coffee is the perfect thing to drink to help brave the coldest of the winter months. And in the summer, iced coffee is a delicious treat while relaxing in the sun, poolside.
That’s why this year I am asking for someone to buy me the latest and greatest in coffee makers: the Keurig coffee maker, with an assortment of cheap K cups to go along with it. The Keurig is the perfect gift because it is affordable yet totally useful. The lucky people to receive this present will literally use it every day– if not multiple times a day, depending on their addiction to caffeine!
You might be wondering why the Keurig is so great. The easiest way to explain the magic that is a Keurig coffee maker is the fact that each cup of coffee is individualized for the person who makes it. That means if you want an extra bold cup, your husband wants medium roast, and your kids want decaf, you can do it without having to wait twenty minutes– or throw the extra coffee down the drain because you accidentally made to much. All you have to do is choose which of the many cheap K cups available you want to drink that day, pour in 8 ounces of water, and press the button. Twenty to sixty seconds later you’ll have exactly one cup of exquisite hot coffee, just to your liking. Then your husband and children can brew their own, right after you.
I can’t imagine spending one more year without having this magical coffee maker sitting on the counter in my kitchen, and I don’t want to have to. I must own a Keurig! So if any of my friends or family members are reading this, please get me one for my upcoming celebrations– and then come over for a cup of coffee so I can show you what all the fuss is about.
