[How can I make you a good cup of coffee?]

We were at some friends’ house recently, and they served us single serve disposable pour overs similar to this https://www.amazon.com/TrulyAll-Disposable-Single-Pour-Over-Coffee/dp/B01IBXADOK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1511094546&sr=8-3&keywords=disposable+pour+over+coffee.

 

We were enamored, and it has become my favorite coffee when I’m on the road. That said, I also like French press, pour over, aero press, Starbucks Via tubes, instant from a jar (but only with milk), and pretty much every other form of coffee out there.

 

I second the sock as the cheapest and easiest to store option.

[Teeny, tiny, BFSU-related whine...]

I've been using BFSU for a few years, and I've found it easy to implement. I use the kindle version of the book, which I find much easier to navigate (2 taps to get to the flow chart, or any lesson in the book). I read and maybe highlight, but I don't script the lesson. I just explain it and do the demonstrations. If I lose my train of thought, or want to make sure the kids understood the lesson, I go to the list of discussion questions at the end of the lesson. I used to use the recommended books and look up YouTube videos, but I found them to be mostly redundant, and they made the lesson longer than was comfortable for small kids. With just brief lessons with the recommended demonstrations, I found that the kids remembered the material and integrated each lesson with other concepts, even over long periods of time.

 

So I am just reading the lesson content on my own and narrating it to my kids, like they do with their own reading.

 

That said, curriculum is nothing more than a tool, and if it's not a useful tool for you, you should definitely move on without any guilt. There are so many good resources out there.

[Does a science program like this exist?]

You can try www.mysteryscience.com. It's mostly free, secular, and open and go. It does have activities and discussions, but the videos direct them.
