Lo-Melt Wants some JAVA

Coffee is very important to our family. Since we don't have a startbucks in town, and Joe Van Gogh (formerly Cup A Joe) is too expensive to go to regularly, we try to make do. Daddy will drink cold coffee that has been sitting on a desk for three days, but Mama will not drink lesser brands of coffee. Of course, we feel that premium brands of coffee are a little too expensive, so we get our coffee from Coffee Beans Direct. You can find out about them at http://www.coffeebeandirect.com

We prefer to get organic, we also like to buy fair trade if we can. Coffee Bean Direct allows us to get both, and the prices are good. If you buy 25 pounds of coffee beans, shipping is free. We tend to find that the 25# bag lets the beans get old too quickly. For the extra $5, getting five 5# bags is a great bargain. How long would 25 pounds of full-flavored organic beans last you?

This machine is COMPLICATED. How am I supposed to work this thing? I have short arms and no opposable thumbs...
