Making coffee


I don't drink coffee, but I have enjoyed learning the new skill of putting on some drip coffee in my part of the office. I get in at 8am, usually about 30 mins before most other people, so the coffee is just ready when they get in! It is remarkably simple really, very much like putting tea in a teapot.
The way people go on about coffee, I thought it would be something complicated, but probably the difference comes in the beans - how they're roasted and ground, rather than how I spoon the grounds into the filter. I'm thinking this is a transferable skill into French Press (or plunger) coffee, for when I get back to mother's group!
Drip coffee is very work friendly - no standing around, distracting people who sit near the kitchen while your coffee gets fluffed, or worse, heading out of the office for half an hour to the favourite barista. Just quietly get up, pull out the jug, and refil cup (and therefore environmentally friendly too!). I think Australian employers should consider it.
At the right of the photo is the powdered 'milk' they put in things here - it is dairy and gluten free... you can get it with caramel or vanilla or seasonal flavourings (read, spices). When simple milk won't do!
