I resisted the changeover for several years. My wife wanted me to cut my coffee intake and stop wasting brewed coffee, says she the non-coffee drinker.

I woke up on a Saturday morning about three months ago and heard the TV on downstairs. Okay, not normal. Go downstairs, wife is watching QVC. Oh, shit, really not normal. Then I hear:

“Honey, this is great deal, we really should try a Keurig.”

What’s this “we” bullshit? You are not a coffee person.

I basically said as much to her, to which she replied that she may end up becoming a coffee person after the baby comes. (Can’t say I would fight that logic.)

I have since gone from brewing ten cups in the pot per day to having two or three K-Cups a day on the largest setting. The psychological hurdle here needs to be addressed…I am 33 years old and had my first exposure to coffee at the age of eighteen months. My mother made me a baby bottle of half coffee and half half-and-half when she noticed that I was cueing to her having her morning coffee. She was also pregnant through most of 1980, and she didn’t quit coffee for her pregnancy. I was expecting headaches, withdrawal, blurred vision, general misery, basically a low-grade drug detox given the stories I’ve heard about such things happening.

In the end, it doesn’t suck. I didn’t withdraw like I thought I would, the coffee still tastes the same, and I have no problem pushing my snob coffees through the Keurig with the DIY brew cup. (When I have access to them, Jamaican Blue Mountain and Kena Medium Roast are my snob coffees.)

I wanted to hate the Keurig. I can’t.
