Aurora, your drinking that stuff will make a couple of nice folks here very happy to have the company. The rest of us may wonder about the three of you...

I will use the excuse of the hot pot not being on that late in the day. ('tis a lovely Zojirushi model...) Thanks for the welcome!

Good enough reason! I do admire your taste in electric hot pots! We use this Zojiroshi model ourselves;

We use this Zojiroshi for our rice.

If only Zojiroshi made a popcorn popper, I'd trade in my WhirlyPop!

We've got the little brother of your hot pot - ours holds 4 liters, and doesn't do any cute chimes when the water is warm (which I'm fairly sure yours does).

We don't have the rice cooker, but we do have one of their bread machines lurking around here somewhere...

LOL! Yes, it plays Chopin. (Or is it Bach?) We used to have an old 3L pumper model, but I love the ease of this push-button 4L dispenser! I drink about 4 liters per day, so this one is perfect for me.

First pot of the day: Kusmi Bouquet des Fleurs the favourite tea of Tsar Nikolaus II. this tea was created in 1880 for the daugther of Pavel Kusmichoff. I was wondering what was so special about it and bought a tin. It is a rather nice kind of Earl Grey. The often harsh flavours of the bergamotte subdued by the flowers but still not flowery in taste just a bit more mellow than a real Earl Grey. Good stuff!

Good morning everyone! Or good afternoon/good night depending on where you live.

Slow to wake up this morning, and I'm in a really lazy mood. So I'm sitting on the couch with a cup of green tea jasmine, a book and my laptop. The cat has joined me as well, he's even lazier than I am (no surprise there).

I really get some ironing done. I'll do it later. Maybe.

Coke Zero #1

(I wonder if we have enough Coke Zero drinkers on here for an appreciation society. Room temperature or ice cold? Can, plastic bottle or glass bottle?

)

You are completely assimilated in the tea-club I see. Such beautiful language to describe a cup of (essentially) hot water. And I love to read all this interesting snippets of information, in such elegant language. Thanks; perfectly suitable for a sundaymorning.

In my cup: cold Arabica-coffee and I have slept in (till 11.00) and am going to work some.

Good morning to all, where ever you are, or what ever night you spend.

Ahmad Earl Grey tea!

mountain_lion · 02-27-2011, 08:22 AM

MMM... Super Premium Coffee, there is nothing better at breakfast.

Stitchawl · 02-27-2011, 08:49 AM

A glass of Bombay Sapphire to finish off the evening. I even drank some beer tonight. First beer I've had in about a year, but it was the perfect beverage to go along with good Chinese food!

Beer AND now some Bombay... I'll have to take the pledge tomorrow!

What sort of slogan would you guys use? Something like;
"Zero is more than Engough," or perhaps "We love Nothing," "Take away everything and put what's left in our glasses!"

Will you admit Pepsi Zero drinkers, or would the group be exclusive?

Coffee made from M&M's???

I've never heard of it before. Can you use the blue ones too?

the MMM is just an expression... maybe a got it wrong.

No, my coffee is not made of M&M's... I would love that, but that is not the case.
Here it is

Cold Arabica - coffee; still working between posting

ProfCrash · 02-27-2011, 10:19 AM

I have the same hot water dispenser. I use it at work. Love it. Although I am really enjoying the Cuisinart Tea Kettle I bought for the house. It takes no time to get to the right temperature and has 6 settings instead of four. The downside is that it does not hold the water temperature for more then 30 minutes. Not a big deal when you get down to it. I am thinking of bringing that to work and bringing the water dispenser home.
