Nasa your coffee story was hilarious and reminded me of my own coffee story involving my wife. True story...
My wife has never been a coffee drinker, preferring tea or hot chocolate as her beverage of choice. With that said, early in our marriage I was the only coffee drinker. We had one of those old coffee pots you percolated on the stove and she would diligently make me a fresh pot every day. The coffee was good, but after a cup or two I had my fill and the rest went down the drain.
So with the best of intentions my wife declared she was tired of wasting good coffee and informed me that I would have to get used to instant coffee. She then produces a jar of Folgers. So to keep the peace, I agreed to give it a try. Needless to say that first cup was absolutely horrible, and not wanting to start an argument I reluctantly drank it down.
After about a week of this, my wife remarks that on our next trip to the grocery store, she needed to pick up more coffee because the jar of instant was almost gone. Much to my astonishment, she had been using the same amount of instant coffee in a cup as she used in the old percolator that made 10 cups. And her excuse; what do I know about making coffee? I prefer tea or hot chocolate.
Thank goodness they invented the Keurig so I can make my own...
