$6.99 to $14.99 at Costco for 2 pounds I protested the price increase and went back to el cheapo pre-ground coffee. I have had 2 grind and brew coffeemakers. One was a Cuisinart which croaked after about 13.14798 months just past the 12 month warranty. The other grind and brew was a Mr. Coffee maker which still kind of works but is suffering from vinegar overdose from trying to clean the grinding part with too much vinegar which caused the plastic grinding chamber to partially dissolve and is nasty looking. It awaits donation to the Salvation Army which actually fixes things and gives the refurbished stuff to needy souls. All of these electric dripola coffeemakers get clogged up from our heart healthy calcium well water. The vinegar cleaning routine has gotten old to me and not worth the effort to make lukewarm no taste coffee. With the Yosemite stainless steel percolator stovetop type, all it takes is a short 8.254987622 minutes daily to clean up the coffee grounds and residue with soapy water and a scratchfree dish sponge. No more vinegar and monthly vinegar headaches from a cleaning process designed for sadists. My Yosemite makes coffee that actually has a coffee brewing smell and a truly hot cup of coffee with taste with only a brief 33 minutes of brewing time. Great for those in a hurry. The coffee probably tastes like it used to back in the olden days when Peggy Wood of "I Remember Mama" brewed coffee incessantly. She always had that goofy smile on her face like she was having an overdose of caffeine. Or maybe she just meant well. The world is full of people who mean well (but have a problem in actually truly meaning well). Or maybe she was just "nice". Remember my motto that "Basically people are nice in isolated groups of one or less". That was probably the best tv show other than Bishop Fulton Sheen. Of course there were other great shows like Pinky Lee and Mr. Wizard starring Don Herbert. And the best show of all was Ernie Kovacs and wife Edie Adams. Who could ever forget the Nairobi Trio? Now that was great tv. And the best song back in the olden days had to be Peggy Lee and her rendition of "Is That All Their Is?". I think that song actually was famous in the late 60's but is still true today. I often think of that song when I see historic places such as The Alamo in San Antonio. I look at that place and I say to myself "Is That All There Is?". That kind of fits most of the grand places that once you see it you have the feeling that there must be more to the hype than what you actually see and encounter. A word of warning. My next topic will concern the "Rule of 7". Can anyone out there postulate what the topic means? Have a safe and sound Memorial Day and pleae remember the meaning of this national holiday.
