Put it in the filter, fill the machine and hit the brew button - JUST Kidding, I'm sure you already had that part figured out! ENJOY - let us know how it turns out! |

I wouldn't know how to adjust for Haitian  We usually use cold tap water, but sometimes hubby gets coffee ready at night so he just has to hit the on button in the morning. |

Sat still (well sort of~very hpyersensitive head) and most importantly HE likes it! Saved me $20. |

(lost the little thing when we moved in '99) now he gets the coffee ready at night and it goes on all by its little programed self! i only make coffee on weekends once in a blue moon. which must have been yesterday~ |

I wish that was the reason...no David is tough with haircuts, he has a super hypersensitive scalp PLUS he's incredibly ticklish. It's a nightmare to takek him in for h/c's. Mark bought an amazing Clipper set at COSTCO and made David PROMISE that he'd let me cut his hair this weekend. Well, he was VERY into a gameboy game so I took advantage of it and put him in a chair in my bathroom. He played his game and I shaved his head He absolutely LOVES it! Then when done with that, I cleaned up the bathroom, answered a couple of calls that came in, updated my CB BLOG, made my bed, put David to bed and went to the kitchen...where I promptly realized that the Acorn Squash I put in the over 3 hours ago was STILL COOKING  At this point, I started laughing at myself, realized it was midnight and WAAAY to late to be attempting to make coffee so I made a mocha (with a shot of whiskey~~both VERY off my meal plan) and I went to bed.Here I am this am, getting ready for Church....drinking Mocha...one of these days I'll tackle the coffee beast |
