Chaotic Coffee Klatch (tea also available)

I have a machine, I grind the beans directly into the filter and then clip the filter in and start the process. No wasted coffee, other than the bit left in my cup. The one thing the purists hate about my process is the beans that are left in the hopper, I try and keep it half full. Quite honestly I would never be able to taste the difference. Coffee house coffee always tastes better no matter what🙂🙂
If I smelled coffee all day, I would have coffee a lot more than I'm allowed. You know Rj the human pinball!
 
Feeling grumbly myself... killed a bottle of wine last night after a phone call with my mother about her husband in the hospital. This morning I am totally exhausted and have a shit ton of work to do AND have to drive 2.5 hours each way to get my daughter at college after that.

Fuck.
I have to drive two hours tonight for an event tomorrow. I was looking at hotels and found one with a White Castle nearby. 🤤 Makes me feel better about this evening. 😁
 
FYI - I was away as I was in a grief counseling session. I am learning boundaries as my normal tendency is to be helpful to everyone. I can not of course. So I do set limits and I heartily encourage anyone who feels overwhelmed by your life to seek and get counseling.
 
Just need to grumble a bit. Been a rough morning. So tired I can barely focus. Dad won't shut up and I had to get irritated at him for not telling the cardiologist something yesterday. Had to talk to my brother to explain a procedure they want to perform on Dad. My back hurts. Had to start some laundry. Need a bath. Probably need to slop the hogs. . .

(Grumble grumble grumble)

Actual coffee question:
Does anyone have suggestions for how to brew coffee in a pot at home without wasting half of it? We ditched our Keurig to save money and reduce waste but now we regularly waste half a pot of coffee on Saturdays.

We only make about "4-6 cups" worth because that's the smallest amount the pot has measurements for.

Does home brewed coffee hold up well in the fridge for cold brews the next day?
I make 8 cups, Keurig too expensive......
