Had some lovely instant coffees in Australia. Dozens of instant coffee choices there.

That would've been awesome to have in the vegetarian restaurant.. serve up the bacon out the back door, with a chaser of pineapple juice.

We have this magical device implanted in ours; we (by 'we' I of course mean 'he') can set a clock before we go to bed, and then waken to the satisfying sound of 'blurp blurp blurp' as the last drops drip into the pot... just in time for him to get up and bring me a cup while I'm still abed.
Now, I understand your current situation, but you should really sort this out when your Him gets Home.

You are quite right of course, ours has that clock timer thingy on it too, but as my sleeping hours have been in a bit of a mess lately, I couldn't really say what time I want it to be ready

When 'him' gets home, it will be back to the usual routine of him getting up first and making the coffee before he wakes me up

Hmmm, maybe I should 'train' the 'mini-him' to hit the switch for me when he gets up for school...
