I am not a coffee drinker. I tried it some in college, but never really acquired a taste for it. One of us in this household needs her morning jolt... and you could probably tell by the "her" in that sentence that it isn't Murphy.
That's why, when the wiz-bang Keurig we had died the day after Christmas, it was very important to replace it. For clarification, I thought it was "wiz-bang": it would put in the right amount of water (had a reservoir on the side), even had a button on it you pressed when making hot chocolate (my morning jolt).
Joan researched it, then ordered a newer version wiz-bang from Keurig - through Amazon, so it arrived on Friday. One day of making French press coffee was enough for her (it's messy); I, on the other hand, went next door with my Emerald mug and a Keurig cup of Swiss Miss.
Newer and fancier. Fits better under the kitchen cabinets. It has a reservoir, like the one it replaced, but has more buttons on it. Instead of arrows to move up or down in how many ounces you want, it has images of different cup sizes... without telling you the size. I had to guess the first couple times I used it. It also has a button for iced coffee, which seems to be the same coffee, but you put it in a glass full of ice. Probably; I don't drink iced coffee, either. Makes the coffee faster and quieter.
Joan seems happy with it, and that is what counts. Murphy doesn't particularly care: he gets fed before the coffee gets made.
Reminds me of a song: You don't know what you got 'till it's gone... they paved paradise and put up a coffee maker. Or something like that.

Nice Buns!
Again, not referring to me. Joan made some fresh hogie buns for meatball sandwiches tonight...
The meatballs were tasty - the rolls outstanding! If you are thinking "Why is there space on that baking pan?" Thanks for asking - two of those rolls went to Steph and Dan for their own meatball sandwiches. Yummy all around!
