~ Funny Story ~

I have a funny story to share. The other night I went to the store to buy some groceries for the week and as I was walking down the aisles I came across coffee. I wasn't planning on buying any considering I'm always going to coffee shops and buying my specialty drinks. However, I thought I'd save some money for once by purchasing some I can make at home. Well the funny thing is I ended up buying the wrong kind. 

I ended up getting Starbucks Caffe Verona Dark Roast instead of Starbucks Caffe Verona Ground. The difference is my coffee maker wont brew roast unless it's grounded. So when I went to make a cup the other night I found out I couldn't use what I bought. I tried grounding it myself by putting the coffee beans in a ziplock bag and trying to crush them with a knife over the kitchen counter but they were just too hard. Needless to say I was disappointed. Maybe this story is more sad then funny.

Anyway, you would think a coffee fanatic as myself would know what kind of coffee to buy, but you have to understand I've NEVER bought coffee for myself. I guess because I've never had to until now. Until last year I hadn't owned a coffee maker, but last November on my birthday I recieved one as a present and along with it I got a bag of Starbucks Dark Cafe Verona coffee. I had never had it before but I ended up really liking it. I don't drink coffee all the time so the bag lasted me most of the season. 

You may be wondering why I am just now buying coffee. Well as it gets cooler out I'm wanting that steamy hot cup of coffee in the morning to get through my day. Personally I'd rather have coffee at my house then have to rise early, drive across town and wait 20 mins in line just to order coffee. It's a time saver really to just make it at home. I learned a valuable lesson, make sure you know there are different types of coffees out there and make sure you buy the right one because sadly I wasted $10.
