Crap

My coffee plunger plunged to the floor and shattered.

Yes, I cried.

Ah well, instant for me then.

Find a place to get an aluminium or cast iron Italian stovetop cafetiera. They don't break and they make kick-arse coffee.

We had one of the ones you put on the burner and let percolate when we were much younger. Yes, it did do the best coffee, but right now that's too much hassle while the kids are tiny. And on further reflection, the making of the plunger coffee was kind of ritualistic way of reminding myself to take a moment to calm down, eat something, and prepare for a productive couple of hours. So it's not just the coffee I'm mourning.
