With our room on the third floor and the kitchen on the first, I came up with this solution to save Matt some steps when retrieving his morning coffee. Now that we've been using this little coffee station for a while, I realize how helpful it is to have it in our room when getting ready for bed. Naturally that's when we'd think to set up the pot to start automatically.
I think we've probably avoided many extra trips downstairs after late night forgetfulness. Occasionally I do get caught short on travel mugs, but I can always grab one in the morning while Matt is getting ready for work.
Recently, though, while we were sick and Matt was two seconds from drifting off into dreamland, he mentioned how handy it would be to have a little refrigerator in our room too. (We needed to keep something to drink by our beds at night for dry, itchy throats and troublesome coughs.) In all likelihood, he was not the least bit serious about his suggestion, but I had to admit that I'd toyed with buying one for our room a few months ago.
When it came down to it, I decided to wait on buying a little refrigerator until we are expecting a baby. My sister finds her mini-frig is quite handy for keeping bottles prepared for nighttime feedings. No worries though, her mini-microwave that sits on top always took care of warming it for baby.
As for me and our mini-frig, we've got time. For now, I'll just keep enjoying the convenience of our little coffee caddy.
