When you stay on DVC points, they only stock the studios with ONE packet of single-use coffee, which yields one pot - clearly not enough for a week's stay. This is a completely unacceptable practice and they really need to revisit this choice. So, on day two of our last trip , we were contemplating either getting up early each morning and fetching individual servings from the machine at Gurgling Suitcase or buying overpriced coffee and filters from the gift shop.
Refillable mugs, while they make wonderful souvenir in and of themselves, would cost us about $45 for the three of us (because although J doesn't drink coffee, she would feel rather put out to not have her own mug). The overpriced coffee, filters, and creamer, on the other hand, would be about $15. The coffee itself was quite tasty, and the leftover filters can be brought back on future trips. I have to say, it was money well spent.
Now that we are back home, every morning I awake to this:
And every time I open the fridge, it puts a smile on my face.
