Has gone cold while I was lost in a lengthy exercise on the fretboard. My dilemma is, do I use the microwave and chance the timer alarm waking the Mrs., bringing my morning solitude to an end or do I just make another cup altogether? lol

Well how'd it work out? I'd use the microwave and open the door with a second left so no alarm.


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

I waited until she got up and put it in the microwave for me.

I make one cup at a time and start sipping as soon as it's done dripping. I can't drink coffee once it's sit in a pot for awhile and developed that oily film on the surface. ick. And it's gotta be a drip coffeemaker. Preferably a Keurig. laugh

Embrace cold coffee. I have mugs sitting around with rings like you'd see on a tree to judge its age. Sip rings I guess you could call them. I like hot coffee but don't hesitate to drink it cold but I do have my standards. Mold growth in the cup is a deal killer.

Take the cup out before the alarm goes off.

ND FTA, some microwaves have a mute button. No beeps at all. We like it.

Yep
Set timer longer and remove when it's hit your time you actually want.

Yeah, why is it we spend extra for a "whisper quiet" dishwasher you have to put your ear on the counter to tell if it's running then when it's done it sounds like a delivery truck backing up in the kitchen every ten minutes for the next hour.

I usually try to open it before it dings also. This past year my wife bought a Aeropress and I really like it. Boil some water, pour in your coffee grounds, let it sit for a couple minutes and press it in to a cup. It’s only a one cup at a time thing but you can make it as strong and you’d like. My favorite is percolated coffee if I have time to wait for it.

It’s funny, I try to be as quiet as I can in the morning so not to wake up the wife and son, but I swear if I try to take a mid afternoon nap on the recliner, which is a pretty rare thing for me, she starts vacuuming or banging around dishes or wants to come and ask me the most random and needless questions. I don’t think I’ll ever understand women.

Drive a truck for a few years and you will be able to nap on command. Even when someone is talking to you and you don’t want to hear them. lol
