Morning Coffee? It’s a Science.

It’s one of those things that can make or break your day.  Morning coffee is essential for the average person getting off on the right foot for the day.  The right cup can be a science for some. So what do you prefer? Paper Filters or Reusable?  Fresh Coffee Grounds of Pre-Grounded Coffee?  Maybe even just plain old instant coffee?  At the American Guest house we care about what our guests prefer and would love to hear your feedback.

After reviewing several coffee makers, the “Cadillac” of coffee makers seems to be Krups, but the Cuisinart DCC-1200 seems to give the most bang for the buck at 1200 watts of brewing power and a gauge to adjust the temperature of the coffee (Hotter if you like cream with your coffee, slightly cooler if you drink it black).

As a seasoned coffee drinker myself, i enjoy my cup with three creams, two sugars and hot! :-D (replace sugar with a few splashes of peppermint syrup flavoring for an amazing cup).

So tell us, How do you prefer your coffee?  :)

With such amazing weather and spring coming up, why not check out the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial!  Located on a tiny island on the Potomac river is this wonders monument providing honor towards “Teddy” and the beliefs he inspired millions with.

Access to the island can be a bit tricky so follow the directions carefully.

Fun Fact:  Did you know that the term “teddy bear” was brought on by a toy makers labeling of the stuffed animals after a generous act of Theodore Roosevelt sparing a bears life during a sporting event?  Ever since millions of children have come to enjoy the animals as a bedtime comfort naming their furry friends, though nothing beats a good old “Teddy” bear to show just how great this president was.
