Upside of brewing two cups worth in the morning: coffee with breakfast, and coffee after grocery shopping / lunch. Yay for microwaves.
Upside of getting the grocery shopping in the morning: by noon, everything is squared away in the kitchen, had lunch and packed lunches for the week. Likewise, ingredients are readied for dinner plans and prep later this evening. If I’m smart, I’ll get laundry done and folded before it’s time to cook.
Downsides? Having to get out of bed and put on pants. Ya know, if there’s ever robots to take care of doing chores and errands, I hope someone makes an android with an integrated espresso machine…. lol
