Thursday 13 - My Wish List

Published by chameleonsdream at 10:33 am under Just Coffee Edit This

With Mothers Day gone and my birthday six months away, there aren’t any more holidays for people to buy me gifts, but that’s never stopped me from making up wish lists. Here’s 13 Coffee gadgets and gizmos I’d love to own.

  1. A bag of Green Mountain Coffee Fair Trade Summer Safari Coffee . At $7.49 a bag, it’s a pretty cheap way to get on my good side, but it sounds oooh so good.
  • Isn’t it gorgeous? This Turkish coffee grinder would fit right in with my blue glass collection. The only way it could be more perfect is if it were copper and black instead of brass and chrome.

  • And speaking of coffee grinders - this one is just gorgeous. I love the sleek look and the hot red color. The grinder is in the top instead of the base which is just appealing to me.

  • A stovetop moka pot to replace the one that I bought for a buck at a yard sale. That one served me wonderfully well for years, until the day I put it on the burner and forgot to put water in it. Rubber gaskets do not hold up well to high heat.
  • $10,000 from Eight O’Clock Coffee Discover the Difference contest
  • A very cool travel coffee mug - or a dozen of them. Now that I don’t drive my daughter to school every morning, I’m cut off from my main source of cool coffee mugs - Dunkin Donuts. The best travel coffee mugs I’ve ever had have been DD promo mugs - and you can’t buy them online. You have to go to the store.
  • My ver own coffee tree, because I’d love to grow one cup of coffee from scratch. I’d also love to knit a sweater starting with the lamb.
  • A copper ibrik - like the one that I passed up from a little antique store about 20 years ago because I didn’t have $15 to spend that way. I wish I had it now.
  • A CD collection of Dunkin DonutsTV ads featuring They Might Be Giants - Perhaps Fritalian?
  • A monthly delivery of Dean’s Beans Ethiopian Yrgacheffe green coffee beans so I could roast my own all month long every month
  • A set of espresso cups - the thick-walled, just the right size for one shot cups AND a funky, decorated set that’s cool and functional
  • A plumbed-in espresso machine in my kitchen, complete with burr grinder and steam wand
  • A nightly reservation at a sidewalk table in Naples, with fresh espresso and biscotti
