Morning Coffee + A Giveaway

I recently told you about our morning routine, but somehow I left out an integral part of every morning: COFFEE.

Some mornings require a bit more coffee than others. (Usually because I stay up wayyy too late reading a new book, when I should really be in bed sleeping!) But one thing is for sure: Every morning includes at least one cup of coffee. I’m partial to iced when I’m out and about, but at home I like a nice hot cup of coffee. (Bonus points if I can enjoy said hot cup of coffee without having to microwave it too many times.)

When I worked in an office, I would get a coffee on my way in and then would use the little pods to brew coffee during the day. Only one of the offices I worked in over the years had a typical coffee maker, where you’d brew a whole pot and just leave it for anyone to take it. I never invested in a pod coffee maker for home because it just didn’t make sense to me to have two different coffee makers because I like pods and he likes regular brewed coffee. But recently I found out that there’s a coffee maker that brings the two together! Hamilton Beach makes the FlexBrew Coffee Maker: It has that has the brew side for an entire pot, or you can use the pod side to make just a cup. Kind of genius, right?
