Yes, patience has rewarded me.

I'd like to get into real coffee, but I would have to give up an hour of sleep
to really enjoy the morning. At present I have it timed to roll out of bed, into
the shower, while I wait for the water to warm up I brush my teeth ( I only use a
trickle since I have a "restrictor plate" shower-head, so it takes longer).
get dressed...by that time the 'pipes are gurgling' so I do the "other morning stuff"
and then out the door. This morning I got up a little early to have some toast and
milk, and I'll be damned if I didn't feel full at work. Usually, I am a junk food junkie
first thing since there is a rumble in the belly. I LOVE DARK RICH COFFEE AND
ESPRESSO, so maybe another half hour couldn't hurt.

What are you using that takes sooo long?

On the French Press its... Boil, grind, brew, press, cleanup... 8 minutes tops.

On the espresso machine its... warm-up, grind, brew, cleanup... 12 minutes tops.
