I never did get into making coffee at home. When I was a little kid growing up and my mother was still alive, she always had a glass pyrex pot of coffee on the stove. When my dad got home from work, and after feeding 5 kids for dinner, the two of them would sit at the kitchen table and have coffee together.
I don't remember my wife ever drinking coffee so we didn't have a tradition like that.

@OldFeller - Welcome to Coffee Corner, and thanks for your story. My paternal grandparents were married in 1909, and Pop was a teamster and drove a horse & wagon,delivering furniture. He always got an early start in the morning, so Gram slept in. She put last nights leftover coffee in a mason jar in the ice-box and in the morning Pop would re-heat it in a pot on the stove, before going his merry way!
