My father was a big coffee and tea drinker. In fact, after his death, 2 of the most coveted possessions were his Farberware coffee maker and his small brown ceramic teapot. My sister Val got the teapot. Not sure where the Farberware ended up -- oh, I think my step-mother kept it. He loved russian tea and English breakfast tea. I do miss him sometimes, even 28 years later.
