The best part of waking up

While traveling in Yunnan province, I saw, for my first time, this amazing device--a siphon coffee maker. Again, I'm behind on the times, as they are rather old, but this is now my new best friend. It uses the expansion and contraction of air to push the water up into the grounds and then vacuum the coffee back out. It's coffee and science!

Plus, my new favorite way of enjoying this crisp cup of coffee—my new mug. The men at Folgers really know what they're singing about when they say coffee's the best part of waking up.

Good morning!
