I bought a Coffee Maker.

I shouldn't have to... but I was tempted.

For the love of coffee, I bought my first coffee maker. As I said, I shouldn't have to 'cause there could be another way to brew coffee without it. At home, we used that traditional strainer. Placing tablespoons of grind coffee inside, then pouring hot water in it to the cup. However, doing this in my dormitory will cost me more time to prepare a cup of it when I was in a hurry every morning and everytime I needed to have it. That's why I looked for a store that I could buy one.

I went to a few stores but can't find one, but they have that equipment for making espresso rather. All I want is for a normal brewed and there, I found one at the East Center. This coffee maker can make 2 to 3 cups, and it's just good for me since I'm the only who can used it on my dormitory. I also bought 2 packs of Paper Filters for it. I never knew that I need that before, I thought I could just put a tablespoon of coffee there right now.

All thanks to @juanvegetarian's coffee that he gave me as a souveiner from the Hive PH meetup even though I couldn't make it there. I didn't need to buy another pack and I could try to make my first cup of coffee here right away when I went home.

I poured a cup of water at the tank and placed the filter paper, then add the coffee. I followed the 2:1 formula here, by the way, but I adjusted it for two people when my friend also want a cup of it. I want to know how strong is the coffee first, and if the bitterness is to my liking.

I'm this excited to try how it taste that I keep on looking as it was brewing. Just a few minutes and it's done. I unplugged it, and poured it in my cup. And for the moment of truth, here it comes!

Well... I can say the coffee is good. I can smell its aroma while it's brewing and for how strong it is, just fine. There's no problem with the coffee, but with the temperature. It's not that hot, but tolerable. I want it hotter. Just sad news in the afternoon, my friend was writhing in pain. He told me that he didn't eat breakfast when he drinks the coffee in the morning. Now, his acid reflux was triggered. I feel bad for him somehow, but it's kind of his fault anyway. He knows the consequence but still did it. I told him to drink water to help dilute the acid, and he did but still crippling in pain for the whole day. Maybe, his stomach was just weak. I drink it first before eating breakfast, too but never had any complications.

Anyway, that's all for this blog. It's nice to swing by in my favorite community sometimes.
