I'm a hero - coffee for all!

So I am a hero at work now. Not because I am plowing through the backlog of work, bureaucracy or just generally kicking ass... No I am a hero b/c of a little Dutch friend of mine... We were paying $50 bucks a month for leasing a coffee system for our office coffee. Not only was the coffee still lousy (it was even this fancy schmancy Keurig system) but since few people drink coffee it was a waste of money. So since I am the budget guy and under the gun to cut costs I dumped the leased Crapmaker errr Coffeemaker and bring a little Dutch friend to help me.

Meet Senseo - you may recall from the picture I did a post about my Senseo Coffeemaker a while back. It's amazing, it makes the best cup of coffee short of Dunkies or a professional espresso machine (tho Senseo just makes strong European coffee, not espresso) of any home gadget I've seen yet. I discovered it when I was in Amsterdam back in March. They've been out here for a while but I think are now finally catching on like in Holland and the rest of Europe. It's perfect for our little office since it brews 1 or 2 cups at a time and the coffee is fabulous. Plus it looks neat and has become a conversation piece. I'm actually surprised at how taken people are with it. But I am now a hero. I'm saving upwards of $500 a year on a lease, the coffee is 200% better and people are happy. All b/c of the little wonderpot from Holland. If you ain't Dutch you ain't.... well anyhow.

People keep asking me for a link. You can buy this guy at Target or pretty much any place that sells coffee makers... but I recommend Amazon.com. I got mine there (for $65 back in May - which was a good deal and the regular price at most stores) but they have it for $49 with free shipping AND a free bag of coffee pods (18 pods in their version - the box sold in the stores only comes with a starter pack of like 4 pods). So if you want to be a hero in your office or home try it out...

(PS. If you do like this would you consider clicking on my links before you buy? I will get credit for the sale - helping to defray my grad school imposed poverty! I'm starting a new blog for all the deals I find for myself or my friends. It's still quite young, but I'm going to post this there too. Soon you'll be able to see all the latest crap I'm obsessing over, researching and of course wheeling and dealing for the best prices! Check it out but I'm going to make an announcement once I finally get it running the way I want - so I can focus this blog on writing about all the little musings in my life...)
