Here's how I prepare coffee:
1. Pour out remaining coffee in pot and clean it.
2. Remove used coffee filter from filter holder
3. Insert new filter into filter holder.
4. Fill filter with appropriate amount of grinded coffee.
5. Fill water container with appropriate amount of water
6. Push power button.
ANY attempt at doing one of these tasks out of order very likely results in 1) nothing being made or 2) something else (for instance hot water) is made.
I was considering these principles while preparing coffee today, when I discovered there was no more coffee in the coffee container. Now this, being a critical deviation from the normal situation, usually demands undivided attention. Unfortunately, I was still preoccupied with the principles of preparing coffee, so I just opened a new bag of coffee and emptied it into the coffee filter. Fortunately the capacity of said filter was lower than the amount of coffee in a standard coffee bag, thus I detected what had happened before reaching step 6.
Puuuh! But I have to admit: THIS IS GETTING WORSE YEAR BY YEAR!
BTW 1: Here's a coffee recipe I found in a Lucky Luke Comic:
If you want to make good coffee, emopty a bag of coffee into a coffee pot, and add some water. Let boil for 1 hour. Throw a horseshoe into brew, if horseshoe sinks, add more coffee.
I'm pretty sure I've been to places where this recipe was used.
BTW 2: Coffee and mathematics.
Here's an example of the principle of problem reduction:
Q: If you are in the cellare, and want to prepare a cup of coffee, how do you do it?
Common man: I go up the stairs to the kitchen, then I ...(insert Pibbur's 6 steps here)
Mathematician: I would do it the same way.
Q: But, if you are in the kitchen and want to prepare a cup of coffee, how do you do that?
Common man: Oh, that's easy, I just.. (insert Pibbur's 6 steps here)
Mathematician: It's even easier than that, I just go down to the cellar, and I know how to solve the problem from there.
No, I didn't make this one up. I found it on ont the internet. Somewhere and a looooong time ago.
