It is Works for Me Wednesday, when women around the web share their secrets for making their worlds go round. Today's tip is such a simple one that you may scoff, "Doesn't everyone do that?" But there are others out there who will blush and wonder, "Why didn't I ever think of that?" I am also aware that there is the third possibility that you will consider this a very bad idea.I am one of those people that does not function before my first cup of coffee.
Which makes it awfully difficult to actually prepare that first cup of coffee. I just am not capable of pouring water or measuring coffee grounds when I first wake up. At least not without turning the kitchen counter into a sticky mess.
The solution? Set up the coffee-maker the night before! After breakfast each morning, I rinse the pot, refill the tank, and measure out the coffee grounds. The next morning I flip on the power switch and voila -- hot coffee with no fuss.
Simple, neat, and dependable. Works for me!

I bought a senseo coffee maker a couple years ago...no measuring, 2 coffee pods, water, 1 fav cup, two buttons, 2 minutes..wonderful hot coffee. The beauty of one cup keeps me from sipping away on a whole pot, plus there is almost no cleaning, the pods go in the garbage and I always wash a cup anyway! plus, I'm the only one in the house that drinks the stuff!
I was doing this for a while but then our morning and evening schedules got messed around with and I gave up. But you're right, it's one less thing between you and that caffeine...
I just worked it into my morning routine so that I prep the coffee pot while the dogs are outside doin' their business and I'm stuck in the kitchen waiting for them. Gives me something to do so I don't fall back asleep standing by the door ;)
LOL, I do this too...that way DH
can hit the button if he wants coffee
before work. I am usually not up yet.;-)
