Because the last thing you need on those bleary-eyed mornings is another struggle; it’s hard enough being a responsible adult, or even a semi-responsible one. We’ve all been there, haven’t we? Standing a little unsteadily in a dark kitchen, half-awake, with the worst breath of the day, annoyance mounting as we attempt to separate coffee filters which seem to have fused together as if their little lives depended upon it. Eight people out of eleven will, at this point, half-heartedly throw both filters into the coffee maker—hey, if they want to be together that badly, it’s probably meant to be, right? But the result is weak, wimpy coffee and a not-good start to the day, an unnecessary irritant suffered needlessly by millions. Many give up at this point and head to Starbucks, pretending not to be rattled by the experience, but you can look at them and tell what they’ve been through.
Mornings don’t have to be fraught with filter frustration and its ensuing let-down. Instead, picture a relaxed and soothing morning routine. Minutes you used to spend struggling to separate your coffee filters can now be spent savoring a cup of coffee that won’t jangle your nerves until after consumption. Aah.
