Melitta Take 2 Coffee Brewer

I totally can’t relate to the concept of having only a few cups of coffee in the morning. And by not relate to, I mean the mere thought makes me break out in an uncomfortable rash.

However, I understand that not everyone is as addicted as I am - thanks be to the all-knowing God (what a world this would be if all of its people were as caffienated as me). In fact, I hear tell that some people actually get by on one or two cups each day - as in, not just the morning. It’s all they have all day.

For those rare birds, something like the Melitta 2-cup travel brewer would be perfect. My mom was this sort of coffee drinker. She’d have one cup in the morning and that was it. She claimed that if she had more than that she’d be awake for days. Amateur!

I always thought she kind of embarassed herself by even having a coffee maker - but she was family and I loved her, so I forgave her for her shortcomings. My dad…now there was a coffee drinker! The man could drink two pots of coffee during the day, then lay down and sleep like a beagle. With people like dad and me…the Melitta wouldn’t even stand a chance. But for the normal people in the world, it might be pretty nice.

From the website:
For the on-the-go coffee drinker, the Melitta Take 2 brews directly into one or both of its 14-oz. stainless steel travel mugs that conveniently fit standard car cup holders. Uses a #2 cone filter, the brewer features dual spouts, which detach for easy cleaning. Added features include an LED power indicator, easy-to-read window water gauge, and auto shut off.

At just a little over $30, the Melitta Take 2 would be perfect for keeping in the office. It’d also make a pretty amazing Christmas gift….. but I didn’t just ring the Christmas bell or anything. Not in August. Not me. And I’m not humming Frosty the Snowman either…..
