DISASTER!

[malada]

There were signs... but I ignored them.

My coffee seemed... weak, cooler than usual. My Mister Coffee is *mumble mumble* years old... perhaps it's getting close to retirement time.

Then today... I flipped the switch.. the light went on and I went to eat my breakfast. But on my return...

*dun dun duuuuuun*

NO COFFEE!

The water was still in it's tank - cold. I guess the heater failed.

DON'T PANIC!

There's my old percolator... no, takes too long and makes a whole pot... there's my porta drip... only I can't find it... then there's my French Press... no, takes too long....

WANT COFFEE NOW.

Boil water. Dump into coffee already in the coffee maker. AAAAAAHHHHHH drip coffee done manually.

I can probably manage with my French Press until I can run to the store and get a new machine.
