Thursday Thoughts

I was originally going to post this as "What we love Wednesday," and then I realized....it was Thursday. So Thursday thoughts it is. Or, a love note to Costco and its awesome return policy and/or Keurig coffee brewers everywhere.

Some time last year, who knows when, Joe bought us a fantastic Keurig single-serve coffee maker from Costco. Can you say love at first sight?  We decided that this was great for us - we rarely make more than one cup of coffee at a time - and with our opposite schedules most days, it didn't make sense to make a pot of coffee everyday.  This was our savior. And we loved it. Dearly. (Ok, I loved it, Joe probably liked it.) And the great thing about the Costco version is that it came with 60 k-cups in the package - and a "my k-cup" that we could use our own coffee in. I even had made a "coffee station" in our kitchen - the small counter space worked well with a "pod drawer" where store the coffee pods below the Keurig. Single greatest item in my kitchen.

And then about a few months ago,  our beloved Keurig died. We tried cleaning it the recommended way, and was going to call the company to see what they could do, but it was out of warranty since it was over a year old. 

Then yesterday we had an epiphany: We bought it at Costco. Costco is awesome and is known for a good return policy. So, on a whim after Joe got off work, we lugged the machine. I thought I would have to explain the whole saga of how the button works sporadically but no, as soon I as I said, it doesn't work anymore, they looked up when we bought it and gave us a "Costco cash card" to replace it.

Ah, perfection. Not only do we have the updated model of our beloved coffee maker, but also a new selection of 60 new coffee pods. Also, a new method of using our machine: filtered water. Apparently this makes all the difference.

Here's too many more delicious cups of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, apple cider, and more! :D

Thanks Costco!
