Imagine a busy power company office. Twenty five plus people chugging around in all directions with mountains of things to do. It is the week before Christmas and the last thing anyone is thinking about is fielding a walk up salesman. This power company is hurting due to some shortsighted decisions that year.

I have been in love with a good cup of coffee for several years now. I have also purchased and thrown away about a dozen different coffee makers. From the mister coffee standard drip to the keurig coffee pods, I have tried it all. Each has its own sets of pro’s and con’s but all of them have one thing in common. All are based on convenience and speed, making the best cup of coffee as fast as possible. Which in theory sounds great, but none of these really matched what I was looking for. My mornings have nothing to do with speed.

When I was a kid I loved model airplanes. I had several F-16's, B-17's and helicopters hanging from my ceiling from fishing strings. My older brother and I would spend weekend after weekend building these models, we would even paint all the interior portions of the model that no one would ever see.
