Some Days You Just Need a Good Cup of Coffee…

The holidays are here again.  Long lists of things to do, gifts to buy, and meals to prepare.  I find myself wishing for about three more hours in each day.  In lieu of the realization of that wish, I sleep less and drink more coffee.

I’ve read many articles about how the “Latte Factor” eats into budgets, so I made a conscious effort to cut back on my visits to Starbucks.  The trouble is that, especially at this time of year, I wanted to continue to consume delicious coffee (and get that much needed caffeine intake) so I invested in a quality coffee maker.

And I’m glad I did.

Today, my “Fridays for Gratitude” selection is my coffee maker:

With its elegant, sleek design, practical thermal carafe, GoldTone filter,* and auto shut-off, this Capresso MT500 Coffee Maker offered everything I wanted in my coffee maker.  I wish it had a larger capacity (only makes 10 cups) but, other than that, it’s the best I’ve owned.**
