that the one household appliances that you really can’t live without, always breaks at the worst time?
This morning I put up my coffee as usual. Sat back down. Waited for it to finish. Went over to get a cup. There was coffee all over the counter. Still in the filter. What was in the pot was full of grounds.
See my maker has one of those ‘sneak a cup’ features where you can, theoretically, remove the pot while it is still brewing and have a cup. In actuality, these things never work very well. And today, mine broke. So having the pot there only opened up the opening in the filter a little bit. Not enough to direct the flow of coffee in the right direction. So it overfilled the filter. And made a mess. And I had no coffee.
Okay, that was a bit dramatic, I have coffee, as I have a French Press and it is brewing as we speak. But I am still annoyed.
I am heading out to do some shopping today anyway. So I guess its time to buy a new coffee maker.
In other news, I didn’t need new glasses. So I can afford a new coffee maker!!
I was able to break the “stopper” off the bottom of my maker (I think it was on the bottom of the filter) and still use the pot many years later. I just can’t stop the flow before the coffee has fully dripped.
i thought brits only drink tea. shelley’s problem stopping the flow may be attributed to an enlarged prostate. have her see dad’s dr.
