Brewing Coffee is Such Hard Work!

Hahaha.. That's heck of a task! I remember preparing coffee, pure ground coffee, South Indian style! But then, I prepared a whole lot for the whole day. But that didn't taste that good, the flavor somehow goes off. Coming to your point, I do not know why but I somehow can't really manage ironing a Shirt well! That's silly but somehow I get stuck somewhere. And anything that I MANAGE to do leaves me with a feeling of non-accomplishment!

I can top that. I'm a coffee snob and don't like the stuff in the supermarket. There is one brand, illy, that is drinkable, but its $10 for 200 grams. I have to roast my beans for 15 minutes and then let them cool for about an hour. I do it once a week. Getting the coffee roaster was a chore. It was my grandma's and my parents sent it to me because they don't use it. They have great coffee available in their town. I'm sure my grandma up in heaven is happy that her very old roaster she brought with her from Italy is being used by her granddaughter every week. After the coffee is cool, I grind the beans for about a minute. I need to stand holding the lid of the grinder down. I've been out of disposable filters for a few years so I use my reusable one that needs to be rinsed every day. I know I can buy them in the super, but I'm frugal and don't want to spend the money. My coffee maker is broken so I boil the water in the kettle and pour it over the ground coffee. I need to do it a few times to make a large cup. It's quite a chore to get a perfect cup of coffee. Thankfully coffee is about the only thing my cats and dogs don't pester me to have a bit of so I can enjoy it without guilt and without them begging. I roasted my beans a few minuted ago and will take out a few while still hot so I can make a cup before they cool. I love coffee.

Wow, I never realized all the fun I was missing by not being a coffee drinker. I have worked at some office jobs where for some odd reason certain individuals thought, perhaps because I was female (?) that I should make their coffee for them, but I always said "No, thank you!" with an emphasis on the "No" part of it. For some even odder reason that seemed to make some of them quite angry. Well, that was their problem, as there was no way on planet earth that I was going to "perform." Ah, but most things in the kitchen take longer than they should when I am at the helm. That doesn't mean I can't do the tasks, just that they are not something I enjoy doing or do gracefully.

hi friend. i really just go for instant.. hahaha... and just get brewed coffee in either frappos or lattes when i go to gourmet restaurants. i dont have the time to even comb my hair sometimes..hahahaha... you got such patience... i applaud you...:-D

dude thats no biggie. lol. I work at a coffee shop so making a coffee.. latte etc can be a lot of work. I wish it was that easy. I know what you mean though.. simple things can become hard because of circumstances such as things not being put back where they are supposed to be.

Hi SaintAnne! We don't have a coffee maker and thanks for that, lol. We just have instant coffee every morning. I have hard time doing ironing, specially husband business shirts. I'm glad that you enjoy the coffee of your labor after the hard work.

poor thing!!!!!!you must be totally exhausted over here ,i boil water and in that water,i put a coffee powder and milk.it takes about 5 minutes.

I don't know how to brew coffee, though I've bought a coffee maker for quite some time. I still prefer to drink 3 in 1 coffee, it's so much convenient. But I always think it's fun to brew your own coffee, perhaps I should try it out one day when I'm free.

Well you do realize that you could have completely eliminated each and every one of those steps if you had of made Point 1: "Have Mum make it!" lol. At least this one time anyways and she DID used to own it..... It does though sound like you may have discovered a new exercise plan! Coffee so therefore caffeine AND a work-out! I reckon you could make millions if you get the marketing just right. Personally I will have a difficult time doing any task that involves me fixing something or building anything really. I always have good intentions but am absolutely hopeless when it comes to handyman type stuff! I'm the guy that puts up shelves and then the books slide off it; or change a washer in a tap and the electricity shorts out...... You name it, I can mess it up! I hope it was good coffee after all that by the way!

Brewing a coffee probably lots of works. but as a coffee drinker I would rather do the hard work and satisfy myself of the taste after than having it easy done but dislike the taste.

Are you an American?I am a Chinese.I can understand you easily,but can't express me clearly with fluent English.It's a good place exactly.

How much does it cost in the shops and how much does it cost overall to make?
