The first gift of my 26th year on Earth. I think it's classy.

-- The Story --
A few years ago I was visiting my aunt at Christmas time. We were just finishing dinner when someone suggested that we start the coffee in preparation for dessert and chatting. My aunt pulled this contraption out and I nearly died laughing. I'm sure most of the laughter was due to the "holiday cheer" I'd been enjoying all night, but the cream cheese container helped.

My aunt said that years earlier she had lost the filter basket somehow and decided to make her own by cutting a hole in the bottom of the cream cheese tub, placing the filters in the tub and waiting for coffee. =)

She has used this coffee maker for over 20 years and today, on my 26th birthday, she's passed it along to me. I'm shocked that it still works.

Scored this sweet cup at my local Tuesday Morning. I bought a very, very inexpensive one cup coffee maker, a Hamilton Beach Personal Cup or something like that, $12 at Walmart. It uses Senseo pods(I'm going to try to make my own using coffee filters and better coffee, and in it's defense there's no plastic waste like with the plastic pod brewers), but the brew space only accomdates the smaller mugs/cups, this one is a perfect fit.

The bottom of the mug says EllaDoran Colourful Cottons Queens Kitchen
