Bob,
Just so you don't think I am ignoring your quest I felt compelled to
respond.

I am the very last person to ask since I have not touched coffee for at
least the
past 40 years or so.  Me, opposite of you like my coffee a certain way,
but am too lazy
to remember how to make my own.  So I just quit the stuff.

Not that my input will help you on your quest but at the very least you
know if
I show up at your door you shouldn't offer me a "Cup of Joe".

BTW the counter real estate at my house has plenty or room for working
stuff.
LOL

Have a good Turkey Day!!!
