Tom got out of work at 4. I was working until 5. Tom decided not to drive around back and forth, partly because his car battery is currently iffy, and partly because he is lazy. Tom was bored, poking around the store. Tom looked at our coffee selection. "I want coffee. How much is coffee?" 8.95 a pound. "What would you recommend?" Uhhh... what do we have left that is not boring? Chocolate Caramel Truffle. "Okay I want two pounds." Uhm... that bag we have bits left over from our anniversary, in February? was only half a pound to begin with.
As he watches me coerce the beans out of the dispenser: "We should probably have a grinder." I can grind it here... "Nah, I want an excuse to buy a grinder anyway." Okay, so after this, go buy a grinder while you're waiting for me to finish working.
Is .95lb enough? "Nooo, I want a pound!" Okay well now you have 1.3lbs.
5:10, I stumble out of the store, where there had been a bit of a gift-wrapping rush/certain employees being slooooow when customer was in a hurry. I get into the car. Tom points at the back seat. "Look at the espresso maker I got! Oh and look at the grinder! That was the cheapest grinder they had. But I was looking at it, and saw that it has an espresso setting. So I thought hmmm..."
And I get harangued (teasingly!) about my $30 yarn and/or t-shirt splurges.
So now we have an espresso/cappuccino maker sitting next to our big ol' coffee maker. Tom not only likes espresso, but also feels it is more *efficient* than coffee. Less to make and drink, same amount of caffeine.
I will make coffee (because Tom doesn't measure amounts), and I will be the expert on tea. This persnickety beast? Is allllll him.
I do not currently own a dresser, but we have an espresso machine. Oh priorities.
(Okay granted espresso machines are way easier to move than giant chunks of furniture. still. I do not see making seriously concentrated amounts of caffeine available to Tom as being a good thing.)
