Coffee is the morning fuel for most homeschooling moms. We wake up and move through the morning getting kids breakfast, setting up lessons for the day, and if we are lucky we have time to grab a mug of coffee that we sip on through the morning and sometimes throughout the entire day.
And, what’s not to love? The hot, steamy, rich and satisfying taste. Add to that the creaminess (well, for those of us who use lots of cream) of warm milk or cream, and oh my it’s just such a comforting experience.

And, it all starts with the aroma. The scent wafting through the house as the coffee brews is like a little beckoning wave saying… wake up… wake up… wake up.
Here’s the thing. I’ve been working hard for the last few years to eat healthier. But, healthy eating can be costly and sometimes it’s hard to find quality, organic, and natural options.
I’ve found that Caribou coffee has a smooth taste, and is more affordable than other options. I prefer a medium roast and enjoy a variety of brewing methods. I’ll use a traditional percolater when I’m in a hurry, but I also enjoy coffee made in a French Press. I also enjoy a drip coffee made in a coffee dripper carafe.
Lately I’ve been enjoying a vintage GE percolater that belonged to my mom. You can get a similar vintage style of percolater from Amazon.
