I hate something my husband loves

March26

I know I hear you all gasping in shock… how could I hate something that my husband loves.  I try and be supportive of his love, but I can’t, I just can’t.

I hate that damn coffee machine!

My husband has a bit of an obsession with his coffee.  He has a coffee machine and grinder and all this other coffee related “junk” so that he can make himself good quality coffee’s at home.

Now I know it saves us anywhere between $5 and $10 a day because he now doesn’t have to buy good coffee at work (so obsessed he has a grinder at work now so he can have freshly ground beans when ever the need arises).

I know its something he enjoys and I try and support that, but the damn machine and its mess and its smell drive me up the wall.

In coffee’s defense we were never going to get along, you see I don’t drink it.  I don’t really like the taste, or the smell, and it does some crazy things to my body if I actually drink it.  Like a racing heart, and a mouth that won’t shut up.  Basically coffee for me is like drinking a can of Red Bull.

But the machine takes up precious space on my kitchen bench, and now the new grinder thingo is so heavy that I can’t move it if I need more space.  And he is now wanting a “whole” draw in the kitchen to store more of the “junk”.

And don’t get me started on the grinds, I find coffee all over the kitchen.  Today I have been greeted with coffee on my clean dishes! the clean dishes, you know the ones in the dish rack drying and waiting patiently for me to put them away… Well now I have to wash them again! ahhhhhh

I love you wonderful husband you, but that machine…

    let me upgrade my espresso machine and I’ll move ALL of it out of the kitchen. That’s a deal if I ever saw one! (of course, I’d have to save up for it first, lol)

    hahaha I hear ya Mel!! as you know I can’t drink the stuff just dont like it., but I dont mind the smell.
    I saw the photos, his coffee is taking over! Maybe tell him to make a coffee bench in the garage and have his coffee there.
    I told Jai to take his machine to work as it hardly gets used here and the bench space would be great, but Ford already have a pro coffee machine so it stays!
    Great blog xx

    [...] both extremely expensive. Comparitively, coffee is a cheap hobby and one that I ‘m sure my wife can put up with, even if she doesn’t like or drink it, because she loves me so [...]

    [...] so I won’t go in to it. I will say, it’s hard to justify the expense when you have a wife that doesn’t drink coffee! Bookmark to: No Comments by James on April 5, 2010 filed in coffee tagged coffee, espresso, [...]
