I have been in love with a good cup of coffee for several years now. I have also purchased and thrown away about a dozen different coffee makers. From the mister coffee standard drip to the keurig coffee pods, I have tried it all. Each has its own sets of pro’s and con’s but all of them have one thing in common. All are based on convenience and speed, making the best cup of coffee as fast as possible. Which in theory sounds great, but none of these really matched what I was looking for. My mornings have nothing to do with speed.

When I was a kid I loved model airplanes. I had several F-16's, B-17's and helicopters hanging from my ceiling from fishing strings. My older brother and I would spend weekend after weekend building these models, we would even paint all the interior portions of the model that no one would ever see.

We generally look at self help as a way to be a better employee, parent, teacher, leader and so on. These are great topics and I will never be the one who will tell you to not develop those skills. However, we miss the mark a lot when it comes to self development because we are doing it for someone not to develop ourselves individually.
