   We have the same machine at my work. I never use it. Not to add to your consternation, but that model tends to flood the counter if the carafe is not completely under the spout.

   My parents had one and never used the grinder, because apparently it was a pain to clean since the steam from coffee brewing made it damp every time.

   They had a separate grinder on the counter that they would use.

   I don’t have a coffee maker at my current apartment. I might get a French press? I only have coffee at home on weekends.

   I usually shoot lasers at my clothes as a separate step before ironing them too.

   Tanouye! I urge you to give Chock Full o’ Nuts another chance! It is full-flavored, working-class coffee.

   Al sings “I get high” in this song.

   The Beatles are also pretty obviously singing “I get high” in the original version, but it’s always transcribed as “I can’t hide.”

   “I can’t hide” also just doesn’t make sense in the context of the song, while “I get high” does.

   So what is the deal?

   We were really that horrified by drug references that we had to bowdlerize the Beatles lyric sheets for 40 years?

   It’s “I get high,” people!

   It’s “I can’t hide”, but you and Al Green are in good company. Dylan thought the same:

   “I can’t hide” DOES make sense in context in a salacious way, insofar as it refers to an inescapably apparent state of arousal by the person making the statement. I.e., “When I touch you I feel happy inside; it’s such a feeling that my love, I can’t hide” etc.

   Yeah, I read that, I still think it’s “I get high.”

   Will, that would have been a good thing to ask for from your family on Christmas. Now I am just going to get you coffee filters.

    Erik, Will has a french press that is brand new and still in the box. He will give it to you.
