Portable Coffee Break

I admit it, I really like coffee. It's my favorite drink. But sometimes when I go to a meeting, the coffee in the pot is stale and bitter from sitting too long. Fortunately, the water dispenser in the office has a hot-water spigot. So I pack a few supplies with me.

Step 1: Collecting the Parts

You'll need to visit your friendly local grocery store's coffee aisle to pick up a box each of single-serving packets of instant coffee and creamer.

Next visit the baking aisle to pick up a box of sugar packets or your favorite artificial sweetener.

You'll also need either to pick up some coffee stirrers or some plastic spoons.

Because the single-serving packets are longer than the standard Altoids tin, I'm using a greeting cards tin I picked up for a buck at a nation-wide chain of arts & craft stores that begins with a "M".
