I can barely get my daughter to school on time each morning, the morning madness of making breakfast, preparing and packing lunch, getting her dressed, etc. doesn’t leave much time for me to even brush my hair on most days. The critical things get done first and that means I never have time for my morning cup of coffee, even though I have an addiction and not drinking coffee means I am cranky, tired and headachy until I get it. My husband is a coffee snob, so our coffee making system is way too complicated to deal with in the morning. The beans have to be freshly ground and the machine has to heat up and do this and that. He says that is part of his coffee enjoyment. WHAT?? Well, I have to admit his coffee is way better than anything I make but necessity comes first, I just need my caffeine. And I need it quick, just one cup, no mess, no hassles. My Tassimo machine answers my prayers. It is a single serve coffee machine that uses pre-packaged disks of coffee – you pop it in, wait a few seconds for it to heat and push a button for the cup of pick me up I absolutely cannot live without. The disks are sold everywhere, just look for the Tassimo symbol on the package. It comes in every variety, expresso, latte, cappuccino, decaf, full cup and even hot chocolate!! Starbucks have these disks as well and they are sold at Bed, Bath and Beyond which means 20% off with your coupon!! Did you know you can bring a stack of those coupons in and use them at the same time? It doesn’t even matter if they are expired. I have been using them for my Tassimo disks, they are $9.99 for 12 so with 20% off it is only $.67 a cup. I’ve been telling all my mommy friends at preschool about this because they all wonder how I am able to show up each morning petty, alert and smiling =) It is $129 at Amazon
