I'm here to totally undermine Pavlov's theory.
For the 7,000th+ time I , once again, went to get some coffee and did what I always do...
The light was off on the coffee machine, so I stuck my finger in the stream while it was pouring into my cup to see if it was leftover hot or I would have to nuke my coffee mug in the microwave once it was full.
This is usually a 50/50 shot because I never bother to keep track of when I stop hearing the little beeps telling me that my coffee is done cooking.
don't worry if you have coffee at my house - I only do this to MY cup... which is why I always do mine first, so I know if I have to stop being so impatient and turn the thing back on or not... I'm not about to hand anyone else cold coffee... that's just rude...
It was fucking HOT.
Actually, that's TWO different ways that prove I'm difficult to condition. You'd think the beeps would be some sort of indicator and you'd think I'd stop sticking my hand under hot running water.
No dice.
Ivan is rolling over in his grave right now.
dang girl...I would stop doing that if I was you...LOL sorry to laugh...but that is how we were brought up! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly certain that it takes a special kind of persistent moron to keep doing this...
ReplyDeleteOuch!!! You need minions to make your coffee.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope you don't come back as a barista in your next life.
ReplyDeleteummm might be a strectch here but if the coffee is that hot wouldn't the cup become warm????
ReplyDeleteI'm just saying if the cup is hot so is the contents therein the coffee.
If the cup is not so hot dip the finger....I'm mean is that any different than mid-stream - really?
That way you would have a precursor to how bad the burn will or won't be. Or maybe that is just me.
then again maybe it's a capricon "need to know" thing. but so is my alternative then again so "Now you know!"
My intillect is dizzying isn't it. /laughs as he recalls "princess bride"
I am the duwed pirate woberts....
TGIF right?
and how the F do you drink microwaved coffee????
ReplyDeletethat is just wrong, besides the amount of money it costs to microwave versus fresh brew is so miniscule....
toss the grounds in the garden and brew fresh... if the coffee got cold you weren't in that much of a hurry to drink it and you can wait the 10 minutes for a fresh pot.
Geez.
And I did it again this morning................just kill me
ReplyDeletePonti Mython - it's sheer IMPATIENCE!
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't drink microwave coffee, I just use it to warm up the already made coffee.
laughs
laughing right out loud
ReplyDeleteI got a call this morning about this and was told, "why don't you wait the 10 seconds it would take to see if the cup gets warm or not."
I said, "Impatience" and my wonderful friend said, "Okay, that I believe."
ok - so reheated coffee, via Microwave aka Nuclear radiation, or stove top is still blaaaaaaaahhhhh /shudders.
ReplyDeleteand Piss Poor Time Management Skills that lead to the urgent need for coffee is no excuse - impatience.
Your a brillent person. find something new to learn while it brews. you don't rush and have lousy relations (ahem)because your impatient.
I was so inspired by this I wrote a whole blog just now and in the same amount of time it would take to brew a new pot. /grins
/laughs because you might be twitching or staring at me in your mind with that "/stare"
Laoch of Chicago is dead on.
ReplyDeleteI need minions.
Hmmm...beeping coffee maker. Is it that damned machine with the thermal carafe that drips every single time you pour it? We had one. My BFFs still have one - despite us all griping about it on Sunday morns. You'd think for $150 they could make a damn pot that doesn't drip. I SWEAR the next time I buy a coffee pot it will be a professional BUNN machine. Yes...like the ones in all the diners.
ReplyDeleteThat one not only doesn't drip - but the water is always hot, so if yer like R&V here and your coffee is cold - you can make more in the time it might take to nuke your coffee. I'm sure Alton Brown can explain to us exactly why nuking coffee is a bad idea, as Ponti up there has stated the obvious - just compost the coffee and start again.
