I'm never going to sleep again

Kenwood BrewMaster™

After years of indecision I've finally purchased a filter coffee machine. Yes, the Kenwood BrewMaster™ now has, after a little re-organisation, pride of place in my kitchen. I just plugged it in, ran water through it twice, as per the instructions, then used 4 heaped measures of Kenco’s finest. I only half filled it’s ample 12 cup capacity tank which gave me 2 and a half of my jumbo cups. That was 2 hours ago. Thankfully my hands have just about stopped shaking, it’s just my legs that won’t stay still.

Naturally it was an internet purchase. Nowadays I can see no reason to go store to store, with the great unwashed and their vile offspring, to compare prices. Here are the shocking facts for you. Argos catalogue price £49.99. Amazon.co.uk price £23.50 with FREE Super Saver Delivery. Total saving £26.49. It’s about time I had some good luck. Of course I've just checked Amazon.co.uk again and they've put the price up to £39.99.

The main selling point of the BrewMaster™ is the little timer. Each new morn you can spring from your bed and enjoy fresh hot coffee. That is if you remembered to set it up the night before. Then again I'm only really going to use it at weekends. The other good thing is the coffee dispenser. No more washing a coffee jug when you can wash the huge coffee container and the filter holder and the filter. But thankfully I'm still using unbleached filters to save me having to wash coffee grounds down the sink.

All I need now is to hear a news report saying that caffeine is good for you.
