Meet Mrs. Coffee

By Jimmy Johnson


I had occasion to buy a new coffee maker recently. My philosophy is, “Go mid-range.” If you purchase one of those no-nonsense, on-off, under-20-bucks models, you eventually will come home in the afternoon to the smell of scorched coffee, probably sooner than later. And the really expensive, high-end coffee pots? Don’t even get me started. I return to the programmable, 12-cup Mr. Coffee, or comparable brand. It can’t be beaten, except I do notice the LED displays get harder and harder to read. Yes, we’re getting started slowly here after a little vacation. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need another cup of coffee.

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

    Good morning Charlotte. I looked up the newspaper’s website. Here is a link to the part about managing your subscription: https://helpcenter.washingtonpost.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004026387-How-to-cancel-your-newspaper-subscription

    Good luck getting out of it. It can be hard to cancel any kind of service these days since everybody’s trying to keep what they’ve got.

    Would it be by the post or by the month? Beginning to sound messy.
