I really wanted to buy a new coffee machine. Not because I needed one, my old one worked fine. I just didn't like the way it looked anymore. So, I didn't have much an excuse for shelling out $50 for a stainless steel deal that would probably take up half my counter space. Then I found a nice sized coffee AND capuccino maker at Bed, Bath, and Beyond on sale for the bargain basement price of $20.00. I had my little 20% discount card and so I ended up paying $17.31 for it which is far less than what I spend on coffee in a week. I asked the guy why this thing was so cheap and he gave me a little canned speech about how BB&B was passing on savings to me and blahblety, blah, blah...that must be the "Beyond" part.

I bought this Arabia Mocha Sanani blend from Peete's and today I made a sweet Capuccino.

I think you know you're getting old when this stuff makes you happy.

Just for today, I can celebrate my new purchase.
