I have discovered the secret to making expresso at home.
Step 1: Make coffee regularly
Step 2: Go to class and forget to turn off coffee pot
Step 3: Return from class 3 hours later and think, “Awesome! Coffee!”
Step 4: Make coffee as you do regularly.
Step 5: O.O
Step 6: Add more sugar so you can drink it. LOTS more sugar.
Note, this method requires a coffee pot that does not have an automatic 20 minute turn off built in to it.
Seriously though, I'm just sort of glad that my coffee pot didn't break or catch fire while I was out or something. That would have been bad. I don't make coffee that often, so about half the time I forget to turn it off. Last time it happened I had made hot water for tea and then left the pot on all night. I have to tell you, getting the water scale of that pot was real fun. NOT. Hopefully, I will learn to check the pot before I go out of the room before my negligence burns down the building.
In acquiescence to Ms. Hickner's request, I shall include a visual.
The person in the foreground (Ed from Cowboy Bebop, an anime produced by Sunrise), pretty much has the expression I wore when I tasted that coffee. That was some kind of wake up call, lemmie tell you. Moral of the story, think before you drink. (no pun intended)
