Next step will be to hire someone to eat your food for you. Say, Michael Moore's career is looking ropey at the moment hmm ...

I've got powdered water in my cupboard. I'm not sure what to add to it.

In an ever growing convenience culture, Marks & Spencer has launched a ready-prepared coffee which consumers only have to pour into a cup and heat in a microwave oven.

Too much work. I've got THINGS to do!

For me, the best part of my morning is smelling the coffee brewing. The next best thing is leisurely drinking several cups while reading through FR.
If I have somewhere to be early in the day I will get out of bed earlier. Why start the day in a rush if you expect to be rushing all day?

I hear the next innovation from M&S is pre-jammed toast (available in Strawberry, Apricot or Marmalade)

I saw a bottle of dehydrated water in the outdoor department of a store the other day! What'll they think of next?

I agree, coffee is for enjoying not throwing down one's throat. Anyway I don't find that putting water and coffee in my stovepot percolator takes any longer than pouring liquid in a cup and microwaving it.

Instant coffee is an abomination.

Especially nowadays with newer machines like the Philips Senseo coffeemaker.

I have a Senseo coffeemaker - the coffee it prepares is perfect and fresh. Marks and Spencer is barking up the wrong tree.

My only comment is this: The day I don't make a nice, fresh cup of coffee is the day after I died. Fresh-brewed coffee is one of heaven's gifts. Fresh-ground "Texas Pecan" from HEB is so good.

Country Crock has microwave mashed potatoes.
Already prepared. Pull off the lid and stick them in the microwave.
We tried some, not bad.

Not if the statistic is correct that 90% of the coffee used is instant (ugh) coffee.

The next breakthrough will be genetically pre-caffeinated children.

I've used Bunn coffeemakers for the last 15 years. 3 minutes and the coffee is ready in the morning. I've gone through several and have decided my next will be a professional model like the restaurants use!

I preload the coffemaker just before I go to bed.

When I awaken, I get up, turn on the coffeemaker and then prodeed to my morning ablutions.

Coffee is ready when I get back to the kitchen.

Proceed, that is. I concur that instant coffee is an abomination.
