Dear Kid,
There is a very interesting phenomenon going on in our house. Not to worry—I’m on the case and I’m sure I’ll solve it eventually.
But in the meantime we have A Situation.
Coffee evaporation is not like normal evaporation.
Let me explain.
I’ve noticed that very often I will make a cup of coffee (have I told you how much I adore my little Keurig? I know it’s not great for the environment and I feel badly about that. But not enough to give up my adorable little Keurig that I adore. Did I mention the adoring part?).
Where was I?
Right. Very often I will make a cup of coffee, carry the steaming mug over to the kitchen table, read a section of the newspaper, pick up the mug—and discover that IT’S EMPTY!
This is a particularly interesting phenomenon because I am generally the only one in the house who drinks coffee.
Puppy: I would drink coffee if you let me
Me: Coffee is very bad for puppies and you can’t reach that high.
Puppy: Look who’s making short jokes…
I am considering starting a research study to see if this evaporation anomaly happens in other places or just in our house.
Right after I go make myself another cup of coffee.
You can ease your guilt by purchasing a tiny metal filter basket for your Keurig and using it with your favorite coffee blend and skip the disposable plastic pod!
Does that involve measuring and washing the basket thingamy? Guilt might be better….
